Chicken Thighs with Dipping Sauce and Coconut Rice - Grilled Thai

Sometimes as a food blogger, you just have a great recipe to share.  There is no deep-and-meaningful story behind it.  No tie to an impactful personal experience or a deep cache of wisdom surrounding it; you just have some great food begging for others to have the chance to be excited and elevated by it.

Biscoff-Pretzel Rice Krispies Treats

I'm kind of in denial that not only is it already Friday but it's almost the end of May. Geez, where in the world has the time gone!? All week I've been thinking it's one day earlier than it is so today feels very much like Thursday to me. I'm not complaining though, bring on Memorial Day weekend! It's the unofficial start of summer, and that means grilling, swimming and even longer days to enjoy outside on the deck. Yay!

Pan-Seared Shrimp with Ginger-Hoisin Glaze

We went through a really rough stretch a few months ago when we started trying to eat healthier dinners. I'd planned our meals for the week, and was genuinely excited about all of them. But one night after the next, we choked down something that was just barely edible - a super dry and bland pasta bake, buffalo chicken salad that wasn't nearly as exciting as it sounded, flavorless chili...the list goes on. It was oh so tempting to just pick up the phone and order pizza on a few of those nights. I'm sure Shane wished I had, but he was a really good sport about the whole thing.

Pimento Cheese Burgers

m stepping outside of my comfort zone a bit today. A few years ago, I had never even heard of pimiento cheese. I'm pretty sure it's hugely popular in the south; here in Rhode Island, though, it hasn't caught on (at least as far as I'm aware). I can't remember where I was first introduced to pimiento cheese, but it was definitely through the food blogging world. Even then, as it began to pop up on more and more sites, I didn't actually know what it was - just that people were hugely obsessed with it.

Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread

Last spring I baked a lemon-scented pull-apart coffee cake; it was one of the most delicious treats I've ever made.  In fact, it was such a hit here that I had to bake it several times before it lasted long enough for me to snap a few pictures.  A few months ago, I saw another pull-apart bread - this time a cinnamon sugar version - on Joy's blog.  It immediately brought back memories of the lemon cake and I knew if this variation was even half as good as the lemon one I'd be in big trouble.  So, I resisted making it for a while.  Sometimes it's just easier for me not to have certain baked goods in the house than it is to try and exercise any kind of self control around them.
