Garlic Parmesan Green Beans | a sweet pea chef. Grilled Corn and Tomato Fettuccine | How Sweet It Is - StumbleUpon. Last summer I fell in love with a million things. Nude nail polish, avocado toast, baked beans on top of eggs and super long walks with lots of gossip to name just a few. Oh and cold beer. A little late on that train, but…. better late than never. By far, the cream of the crop was grilled corn. Best.thing.ever. Anywaaaaay. Grilled corn is the bees knees. It became a thing. An addiction.

Summer rocks my world. Eat at allie's: Oven Roasted Broccoli. French Fries: The No-Guilt Version. There’s nothing like a french fried potato. The taste, the texture, the dip-ability; it’s probably one of my favorite go-to comfort foods.

Umm, so if you’re watching your weight, you may want to click back to the last page you viewed right about now…. I tend to cook healthy dishes most of the time, but decided to go all in on this one and it was so worth it! I was in the mood for some comfort food this week, and my cute little French Onion Soup bowls were begging to be used again, so I dreamed up this French Onion Mac & Cheese! Uh huh, cavatappi pasta mixed with a creamy fontina, asiago, and mascarpone cheese sauce and a healthy dose of caramelized onions (which just make everything better!). I didn’t stop there though. In order to mimic the soup, I filled up the bowls with my mac & cheese and topped them with some croutons and grated gruyere cheese.

And my second official Magazine/Cookbook day! Awhoohoo! This week I wanted something easy because I was focusing on cupcake making.... more on that later ☺...

Slow- Baked Mac and Cheese Recipe Courtesy of "Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Two" Ingredients 1 1/2 cups milk One 12 oz can evaporated milk (I used skim, evaporated milk keeps the egg and milk from curdling) 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, cooled to room temp 3 large eggs 1/2 tsp salt 3 cups (12 oz) shredded cheese (I used an Italian blend, recipe calls for Italian fontina cheese) 1/2 pound elbow macaroni or mini penne tubes, par cooked and drained (this means cook them for about five minutes until tender but not completely cooked) Freshly ground black pepper to taste 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top.

John Legends Macaroni and Cheese. Grilled Sweet Potato Fries Recipe : Sweet Potato Biscuits with Honey Cinnamon Butter. Have you given up on making biscuits? Do they seem like too much trouble for the end result? I was kinda in that boat. There are far more interesting things to make…or so I thought! I made these for the first time last fall to go with some Thanksgiving leftovers. My family went wild for them! I have since paired them with lentil soup, beef stew, chicken curry and even a breakfast frittata. And to make a good thing even better, they always turn out great! And because I live in the land of biscuits and honey, we top it all off with some must-have honey cinnamon butter!

Gather Up:2 cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes 1 stick butter, melted 1 ¼ cups milk 4 cups self-rising flour Pinch baking soda 3 tablespoons sugar For the Honey Cinnamon Butter:1 stick butter, room temperature 3 tablespoons honey ¼ teaspoon cinnamon Pinch kosher salt Mix together the sweet potatoes, butter and milk until well blended.
