A plate full of BLAT Eggs Benedict is the one wake up call no one is going to want to miss. Bacon, lettuce, avocado and tomato are sandwiched between a perfectly poached egg and toasted English muffin for a breakfast version of the classic sandwich. Topped with a creamy lemon hollandaise, your taste buds will jump to life with every bite!

If you know me, you know I am not REALLY a breakfast person.

Now it’s not that I don’t love breakfast food, because I do.

It’s all about the time when I eat. When it comes to eating before 9am, I am not super thrilled to be diving into a hearty breakfast.

Tropical Guacamole

Tropical guacamole is a way to escape to the islands, but without that pricey plane ticket. A combination of pineapple, papaya, mango, and coconut makes this dip sweet and savory. It’s an ideal snack or a killer topping for chicken and carnitas tacos!

We are back to tailgating season and I am a gal that’s over-the-moon with happiness.

You all know that I love my football, but let’s face it. The real thing I love about tailgating season is the actually tailgating. The food. The drinks. The excitement of a game that the home team could win.

I look forward to the weekends so much more because of it all.

Pumpkin Spice Chicken Tacos are the ultimate taco for your fall gatherings. The spice blend makes your house smell like fall as the chicken slow cooks throughout the day! The flurry of creamy and crunchy toppings makes for a taco that you will never want to stop eating. Happy fall cooking!

I know, I know, I am going a little crazy with the pumpkin spice right about now.

It’s all I can think about though! Honestly it’s all I’ve been thinking about for the past month as I’ve been working on freelance projects that are allll about pumpkin recipes.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Ice Cream with Gingersnap Crumble

POSTED BY Meghan Y. ON September 13, 2018 // 6 Comments

Pumpkin Spice Latte Ice Cream with Gingersnap Crumble is the new way to be “basic.” Creamy no churn ice cream gets a big hit of pumpkin spice and espresso for a melt-in-your-mouth frozen version of the PSL. Topped with a crunchy zing of ginger cookies, it’s the only fall dessert you need to indulge in this week.

Heyyyyyyyy, where all my basic gals at??

Just so you know, I completely embrace being totally basic from time to time, and I don’t care who knows it.

There are days where I just want to where flannel with my leather boots and leggings and a big oversized scarf while sipping on a latte.There are days when I want to go to brunch for bottomless mimosas to gossip with my gal pals.

Pumpkin Spice Ribs

POSTED BY Meghan Y. ON September 7, 2018 // 2 Comments

Pumpkin Spice Ribs are just the meaty deliciousness you need in your life for fall. Warming pumpkin spice amps up the flavor in the dry rub mix, making the ribs sumptuous and rich. The dry rub is so flavorful, you won’t even think to add any sauce!

Pumpkin Spice Ribs

YOU GUYS.

I did a kinda crazy thing.

You know how everyone is currently losing their minds of pumpkin spice EVERYTHING?

So I might not be a PSL girl, but I love me some pumpkin spice.

As I write this, I can hear the crack of thunder shaking my house as the rain comes down in sheets outside.

It’s the perfect end of summer/beginning of fall thunderstorm to kick off the beginning of September, and that just happens to be exactly what this dessert is all about.

I love the combination of stone fruit in this cobbler so, so much.

BBQ Bacon Crack Fries

BBQ Bacon Crack Fries are the most epic combination of beer, bacon, potatoes, cheddar, and BBQ sauce you’ll ever put in your mouth. They are smoky, savory, spicy, and crispy, making them ideal for inhaling as you watch the big game. Let’s kick off tailgating season on the right foot, shall we?

TOMORROW IS THE FIRST DAY OF SEPTEMBER.

Honestly, how are we already about to kick off all things fall?

I am slowly losing my mind thinking about how quick this year is passing by. Before I know it we will be ringing in the new year and I’ll be wishing I hadn’t eaten so much over the last four months.

September might be upon us this weekend, but that doesn’t mean summer is running away just yet.

With sunny skies and warm weather, I am sure your garden is bursting with colorful vegetables this time of year.

I wish I could say my garden is thriving, but alas, our first attempt at a garden this year was a bit of a fail… Thank goodness for all those farmers markets boasting the summer bounty of deliciousness, am I right?

Quick Cherry Tomato Confit

POSTED BY Meghan Y. ON August 29, 2018 // 2 Comments

Quick Cherry Tomato Confit is a savory, delightfully creative dish that can be used in oh-so many ways. Featuring Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the quick-cook method on these small tomatoes brings out an intense level of flavor that you will end up making every single week.

This post has been sponsored by Bertolli Olive Oil. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Friends, this is one of the best discoveries I’ve ever made.

I remember I tried tomato confit in a local restaurant just a month or two ago. It is such a simple concept, so I didn’t think I was going to flip out over like I did.

Essentially, tomato confit is cooking tomatoes slowly in extra virgin olive oil with some fresh herbs and cloves of garlic. The large tomatoes start to burst while remaining plump, helping them to retain all the richness of the oil and all the smooth, savory flavors of the other ingredients.

You all know I love Christmas, but there’s another week of the year that I love just as much…

That special time is the week of Denver Food + Wine Festival and I am jumping up and down with excitement and anticipation for this year’s events. The week is fast approaching (next week!) starting September 4th through 9th.

If you haven’t attended in the past or simply haven’t heard of this amazing week, it’s essentially a week of the best foodie events here in Denver. I have been going to this festival for 5 years now (gah, I can’t believe it’s been that many years), and I can honestly say that each year has been more incredible than the last. All I can say is it feels like waking up on Christmas morning every single day of this foodie celebration week.

I LOVE tapas.

Well I love all food that I can graze on, to be specific. The idea of loading up a plate with tons of flavors and textures always peaks my interest, and any excuse to gather a bunch of people together around a feast of delicious food has my heart.

I’ve been wanting to throw a tapas party for a while, but I always delayed it because I was never sure where to start.

It’s all about the PEACHES.

This cocktail was actually made with the last of the Palisade peaches I brought back from Fruita. I can’t believe they are all gone…

Beer Brined Beer Can Chicken

POSTED BY Meghan Y. ON August 14, 2018 // 1 Comment

Beer Brined Beer Can Chicken is a double dose of beer, in one juicy bird. The beer brine keeps the meat nice and juicy, while grilling it with a beer can keeps it moist inside as the skin gets crispy on the outside. If you love all things beer and grilling, it’s time to fire up this recipe!

Beer brined beer can chicken is like a tongue-twister.

I dare you to try to say it ten times fast!

While saying it might be a mouthful, making it is super simple and the result is the best darn bird you’ll ever eat.

Now that we are back and settled from the wedding, honeymoon, and a week visiting family, I am getting excited about having people over to celebrate the end of summer.

I hadn’t realized until recently that we never had a housewarming party when we moved into our new house because we were so caught up with remodeling and planning the wedding, not to mention hosting my mom’s side of the family for Christmas Eve.

SO, we finally had people over for a small dinner party the other night, and I was so elated to have people in our house again.

Sandwiches are one of my favorite things to eat, aside from burritos.

I have a drawer full of ripe peaches and I am desperately trying to use them up as quickly as possible!

After spending a week up in Fruita (adjacent to peach heaven, aka Palisade, Colorado), eating peaches with the juice dribbling down my chin, I decided it would be a fantastic idea to being a crate back with me to continue the obsession.

So I shared with my friends. I shared with our parents.

Golden Grahams Cereal Treats

POSTED BY Meghan Y. ON August 2, 2018 // 10 Comments

Gooey Golden Grahams Cereal Treats are the perfect dessert to indulge in when you are craving a delicious cereal fix. They are easy marshmallow treats to make and they will bring you straight back to your childhood with every sticky, crunchy bite! Go ahead and treat yo’self.

Golden Grahams Marshmallow Cereal Treats

Back when I used to venture into downtown Denver on the regular, I would come home with a delicious treat in my purse…

There is this sandwich shop I would go to once and awhile that made every cereal marshmallow treat you could possibly imagine.

Golden Grahams Marshmallow Cereal Treats

From Rice Krispies to Cocoa Puffs to Cinnamon Toast Crunch, I would be over the moon whenever I turned the corner to head to that sandwich shop.

Now that I am no longer heading downtown as often as I used to, I have been without my cereal treat fix for waaaaaay too long.

Golden Grahams Marshmallow Cereal Treats

Golden Graham’s have been on my mind a lot, probably because they’ve been front and center at our grocery store (ok King Soopers, you won, I caved). It’s like they were calling my name, begging me to take them home with me…

They used to be in my monthly cereal rotation back when I ate cereal literally every. single. day. I freaking LOVED cereal as a kid, and I would never divert from eating it when I got up. Eggs and bacon? No thanks. Pancakes or waffles? I’ll pass.

Golden Grahams Marshmallow Cereal Treats

JUST GIVE ME THE CEREAL!

So why not make them into a daily dessert, right?

Who in the world could resist such a gooey decadent mess of your favorite childhood (or adult, because at almost 32 I am still an 8 year old at heart) cereal?!

Golden Grahams Marshmallow Cereal Treats

The correct answer is NO ONE.

These cereal bars will win the hearts of anyone you are feeding, regardless of their age.

They are fun and whimsical, not too mention highly addictive so don’t plan on limiting yourself to just one. It’s just like the rice krispies treats that you grew up with, but made with your favorite golden and delicious cereal. They are perfectly chewy and crispy in every single bite. You won’t be able to stop eating them, I’m just saying.

Don’t say I didn’t warn ya 😉

Golden Grahams Marshmallow Cereal Treats

They are the perfect crunchy sticky mess for you to stuff you face with. Plus you can lick your fingers clean when you’re done.

Yep, that’s what I call heaven.

Easy cereal treat heaven. I mean, seriously easy. Recipes don’t get easier than this and it’s just the treat I want every single day in life.

Golden Grahams Marshmallow Cereal Treats

Are you drooling yet? Because if you aren’t, you are obviously insane 😉

Excuse me while I run to make another batch of these bad boys. You better believe that we finished them off in just a couple of days!

The best part? You can totally make these treats with whatever your favorite childhood cereal is! From Cinnamon Toast Crunch to Cocoa Puffs, just use the recipe below and swap out the Golden Grahams for the same amount of whatever cereal you want to feature.

Want to change it up? Add in some milk chocolate chips when you mix in the cereal to create golden graham s’mores bars.

Golden Grahams Marshmallow Cereal Treats

This Recipe’s Must Haves

I love this cake pan for everything from making these treats to baking cakes.

To make the gooey marshmallow goodness that coats the cereal, you’ll need a good pan like this Cuisinart Chef’s Classic Saucepan.

These mixing bowls are the bowls that I love to use again and again for everyday cooking and baking. They are awesome!

Store these treats in an airtight container at room temperature once they have chilled in the fridge and set!

Also, be sure to have non-stick cooking spray on hand. It’s one of the things you absolutely have to have, and you’ll thank me for making sure you do. Trust me.

Finally, if you make this golden grahams treats recipe, please be sure to give this recipe a star recipe rating on the recipe card and/or leave a comment! I love to hear when you all make recipes, and I do take the time to respond to every single comment.

Feel free to drop questions below too, if you have them!

You know what that means. Spikes in temperature. Kids running around the neighborhood like crazy. Insane increase on your electric bill because you have to pump the AC in order not to melt.

You know, normal summer stuff.

I am in the land of perfect peaches this week, and I am in heaven.

The west slope of Colorado is one of the best places in the entire world to get a peach. If you haven’t had a Palisade peach before, you are missing out on a truly incredible experience.

Everyone here in Colorado knows about these peaches, and they all sell out incredibly quick in Denver.

Sparkling Peach Vodka Lemonade

POSTED BY Meghan Y. ON July 26, 2018 // 2 Comments

Sparkling Peach Vodka Lemonade makes the most of the peach season we are about to be deep in the heart of in the next month or so. Freshly squeezed peach juice with lemon juice, vodka and prosecco makes a big batch cocktail that packs a serious punch. Just the right balance of sweet and tart to make every cocktail hour more memorable!

I just love getting the reader comments I get on my site.

They actually are the inspiration for a lot of the notes I add to my recipe cards, but also the inspiration for actually recipes that I put out.

That’s exactly where this one came from! [Read more…]

Belgian Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches

POSTED BY Meghan Y. ON July 20, 2018 // 4 Comments

Belgian Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches are, simply put, a stupid easy dessert to bust out any day of the year. The slightly sweet Belgian waffles are a fantastic vehicle of ice cream sandwiches, because they are soft while also being a tad crisp on the edges. They are easier to eat than those crumbly cookie ice cream sandwiches, and you can experiment with SO many flavors! Make it your own every time you make them.

Please note that some of the links below are affiliate links. If you make a purchase through one of these links, I will receive a small commission.

I almost feel like I am cheating by putting up such a simple recipe.

Perhaps I feel like it’s a little too simple, but honestly, it’s one of those recipes that you can pull out all summer long and can change up in fun and new ways each time.

So, waffle ice cream sandwiches. Let’s talk about that a little bit more.
