The holiday season is upon us and that means planning holiday menus has begun. I love mixing in traditional Louisiana dishes into my menus during the holidays since my husband is from the state. Louisiana meat pies are a traditional dish that frequently show up to holiday tables and for good reason. I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to create these Louisiana meat pies with sage gravy so that you can bring the taste of Louisiana to your table this holiday season.

I have never met a potato I didn’t like and fries have their own category of deliciousness if you ask me. I love making fries at home because I can bake them right up and don’t have to feel guilty about eating half the pan. I accidentally made the best fries one night for our dinner and knew that I had to create a recipe for y’all asap. We happen to love mediterranean flavors in our house and this blend of spices really take these baked oven fries to the next level. On top of that I created a feta dip that is going to not only become your new favorite fry dip, but your new favorite spread for all of the things. This recipe for Mediterranean baked fries with feta dip is one that you simply must try.

Summer is in full swing and so is the heat! That means I am all about an easy meal that I barely have to cook. Ceviche is one of those dishes that I tend to make in the summer more often than not because it just begs to be eaten on a warm afternoon with a cold beer outside on a patio, or if you are lucky, maybe on the beach! There are all sorts of ceviche varieties, but we love this shrimp ceviche because we always have access to fresh wild caught shrimp since we are close to the Gulf. This recipe for easy shrimp ceviche is a great one to try if you have never made your own at home, and I just know you are going to love it as much as we do.

Buffalo chicken is one of those dishes that I get a craving for on a regular basis. I love traditional buffalo wings, but I also love making my roasted buffalo cauliflower and more to satisfy the craving when the craving hits that are a bit lighter. With the Super Bowl coming up, I love the idea of making healthier options to serve to my guests in addition to some more traditional game day foods! Lettuce wraps are one of those things that you can literally put anything inside of to make a lighter option of one of your favorites. Most people think of Asian lettuce wraps only, but truly the options are endless. My easy buffalo chicken lettuce wraps are so satisfying, they make such a great appetizer for game day, and they truly couldn’t be any easier to whip up any day of the week!

The summer is almost over, but that doesn’t mean that we still can’t enjoy all of the gorgeous summer fruits for a little while longer! I don’t know about you, but even though I long for crisp fall mornings, saying goodbye to all of my favorite melons, tomatoes, stone fruits, and cherries is not something I am ready for yet! One of my favorite ways to enjoy summer’s produce is to make a Caprese salad! It’s the most perfect summer dish that is so great for a light lunch or dinner all season long! I turned one of my favorite salads into the best summer entertaining platter! My Ultimate Summer Caprese Platter is perfect to serve up for any remaining warm summer nights spent with friends and family!
