Roasted Hatch Chili Mac and Cheese

Roasted Hatch Chili Mac and Cheese

Roasted Hatch Chile Mac and Cheese

It’s that time of the year when hatch chiles start to pop up here in Texas and I always get excited for them. They are similar to an Anaheim pepper, but with a little heat. Even the mild ones have a little kick and smokiness most of the time. You can make salsas, dressings, stuff them, and even add them into mac and cheese. I mean it’s the ultimate comfort food combination of flavors and I am here for it. Roasted hatch chiles get combined with pasta and cheesy goodness to create a spicy mac and cheese that you will want to make over and over. This recipe for roasted hatch chile mac and cheese is going to delight your tastebuds with every single bite.

Mediterranean Baked Fries with Feta Dip

Mediterranean Baked Fries with Feta Dip

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.

Crispy Spiced Chicken Cutlets with Tomato Cucumber Salad

Crispy Creole Chicken Cutlets with Tomato Cucumber Salad

This post is sponsored by Tony Chachere’s, but all opinions are 100% my own.

Few things make me happier than perfectly crispy fried chicken! I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to bring you such a delicious and light way to enjoy fried chicken any night of the week. I personally love serving up something tangy, crisp, and crunchy with my fried chicken and so it just makes sense to serve up this chicken with a fresh summer salad. Summer cucumbers and tomatoes come together in a simple salad that pairs perfectly with these fried chicken cutlets. This recipe for crispy spiced chicken cutlets with tomato cucumber salad is going to be on repeat for dinner on season long.

Southern Fried Chicken Salad

Southern Fried Chicken, Spinach, and Berry Salad with Yogurt Chive Dressing

Fried chicken is one of those things that I get a hankering for from time to time and I happen to love it on a crisp salad! There is something about a crisp salad topped with warm crunchy fried chicken that is just the best of combos. Most of the time I tend to bake my “fried chicken” for a healthier version, but every now and then I just have to fry it just like all of the southern women in my family before me. This recipe for Southern fried chicken, spinach, and berry salad with a yogurt chive dressing is going to become your favorite summer salad I can guarantee it!
