Sweet & Crispy Orange Chicken

Chopped, battered and fried, bite sized chunks of chicken, coated in a sweet orange-flavored chili sauce, which caramelizes into a thick sticky glaze. Made with fresh ginger and pressed garlic, these fried little bites are bursting with flavor! With a little bit of prep work, this recipe is super easy to throw together. The original recipe is…

Sesame Seed Buns 2.0

These have now replaced my old bun recipe. They were good, a huge step up from store bought, but after making them a few times, I started critiquing them a bit. They weren’t quite how I wanted them to be. They were a bit too light and fluffy, and were missing something that I couldn’t…

Double Fried Seasoned Fries

Warm, crispy golden fries, dusted in salt and spices, what’s not to love? I think it’s my favorite way to eat russet potatoes. Have you ever wondered who came up with this ingenious idea? Some might think the name “French fry” is a dead give away. France, duh, it’s in the name. Well, the French…

Mini Chicken Tenders

Chicken tenders have been one of my favorite foods since childhood. So, of course, I had to make homemade ones. I used to think they’d be super hard to make. Fried foods in general use to scare me. Scorching hot oil, not cooking the chicken enough, burning the outside, a grease fire, ahhh the endless…

Apple Fritters from Binging with Babish

Binging with Babish is one of my favorite YouTube channels; incase he is a mystery to you, he makes various foods from TV shows and movies. It’s awesome. When I saw his tantalizingly double-glazed apple fritters from the Regular Show, I knew I had to make them. Fried batter, dotted with chunks of gooey spiced…

Stuffed Crust Pizza

My favorite pizza is hands down from Mellow Mushroom. Pacific Rim and Holy Shiitake are two of my favorite. I’ve made various Mellow Mushroom “copycat” recipes, all of which were very tasty, but after tweaking it to fit my taste buds desires, I have perfected what is now my go to pizza crust! First off,…

Toasted Garlic Butter Steak Sandwich

If you like steak, and sandwiches, this is a must make. Envision this: fresh baked bread, slathered in garlic butter, toasted to golden perfection, then loaded up with juicy strips of steak, caramelized onions, arugula, and a creamy sriracha mayo sauce that adds that extra zingy pop to push it over the edge and allow…

French Baguettes

Crispy outside, soft and oh so good inside. Great by itself, slathered with butter or jelly, or even sliced up for sandwiches (which is what I made this batch of baguettes particularly for). I wanted something that would be extra good doused in garlic butter and toasted to crunchy perfection. Say hello to my little…
