A Native-Inspired Butternut Squash Salsa

I’ve written a bit about salsas, and butternut squash, too. But never would I have thought about combining the two. That is until I visited Tocabe: A Native American Eatery here in Denver. My lunch was at the Greenwood Village location, which I enjoyed a couple months back with a few food blogging friends. I… Continue reading A Native-Inspired Butternut Squash Salsa

bd’s Mongolian Grill {Sauce Lover’s Paradise}

Since having the first little dipper — Maggie — I’ve lost all free time for cooking and heading out to new restaurants. Having the second little dipper — Fletcher — hasn’t improved my culinary status either. Now, that doesn’t mean I don’t still enjoy tasty food, especially where sauces are concerned, it’s just harder to come… Continue reading bd’s Mongolian Grill {Sauce Lover’s Paradise}

Guest Post: How to Make Raspberry Jam Steak Sauce

A good steak is even better when it has a yummy steak sauce to accompany it. The great thing about cooking a sauce for your steak is that it can add amazing flavor without needing to ruin a gorgeous chunk of meat with ketchup or mayonnaise!

Coconut Chicken Curry Sauce

That’s me at the Grand Palace in Bangkok, Thailand. My husband and I traveled to Asia a couple years ago. Aside from seeing spectacular Buddhist temples, enduring incredible heat, and riding on elephants (it’s bumpy), we ate A LOT in Thailand. It’s not only that food is cheap in Thailand. It’s that the food tastes… Continue reading Coconut Chicken Curry Sauce

Easy Mexican Dip from GOODEness Gracious

Remember Dipstock? Yea, it’s been almost a month ago and I just now realized I made a horrendous oversight. One of Dipstock’s most active participants, Cris Goode, made a dip for Dipstock and I didn’t feature it here as promised. Maybe you recall Cris from Halloween Dipstock. She made FOUR dips then, including a zesty bacon… Continue reading Easy Mexican Dip from GOODEness Gracious

Green Chile Makes a Meal

Here in Colorado you can rarely order a burrito or chile relleno or enchilada without it being smothered in green chile, and that’s a good thing. Once you’ve drenched your cheesy Mexican food in green chile there’s no turning back. As much as I enjoy green chile, I’ve never bothered to master a recipe, and… Continue reading Green Chile Makes a Meal

Creamy Guac Deserves Pork Rind Dippers

It’s the last day of Dipstock, and I can’t think of a better way to end the party than with a guacamole, one of THE quintessential dips. This recipe was submitted by Sweet Life, a wonderful food blogger who has a serious knack for Texan-inspired recipes and food photography (the pic on the left is… Continue reading Creamy Guac Deserves Pork Rind Dippers

A St. Paddy’s Day Feast: Corned Beef Dip and Soup

I’m not particularly crazy about St. Patrick’s Day. I mean, the party is nice, but the food…well, the food is nothing special. At least that’s what I thought until I discovered corned beef. Oh, corned beef. You delicious, salty meat, you. Where have you been all my life? After browsing around the web and finding… Continue reading A St. Paddy’s Day Feast: Corned Beef Dip and Soup

Hummus Dip. Because You Love It.

Take a minute to Google the word “hummus.” No, really. Go ahead. I’ll wait. Notice how many possible results there are? Google tells me that there are 3,830,000 hummus results, which is not quite as many results as bean dip gets (4.4 million), but it’s still impressive. I mean, potato chip dip only produces 315,000… Continue reading Hummus Dip. Because You Love It.
