Jalapeño Avocado Cream Cheese Wontons

http://ift.tt/2t8cBWh

Jalapeño Avocado Cream Cheese Wontons are essentially a fried, amped up version of your favorite jalapeno cream cheese poppers appetizer! The creamy and spicy filling wrapped in a fried wonton wrapper makes these poppers a fantastic party appetizer or even an afternoon snack.

I am a BIG fan of all things spicy (as you’ve seen with my Big ‘n Smoky Five Alarm Burger and my Spicy Green Bloody Mary… and many more, haha!). That’s why cream cheese jalapeno poppers are one of my favorite appetizers, like, EVER.

The cream cheese and the spice of the peppers are just the right combination to light your tongue on fire and soothe the burn all in the very same bite. It’s one of those appetizers that isn’t too filling and pairs perfectly with a chilled beer.

Finding appetizers to serve for a backyard BBQ can be a little challenging from time to time. While I love to grill ALL the things in the summer, sometimes the grill is being taken over with meats and sides and desserts, so there simply isn’t room for an appetizer to get thrown in the mix.  (more…)

Spicy Bacon-Wrapped Bratwurst with Homemade Pickled Red Onions

http://ift.tt/2u1u4iX

A Spicy Bacon-Wrapped Bratwurst with Homemade Pickled Red Onions is THE recipe of the summer – you heard it here first!. Bratwurst gets an extra hit of pork goodness with crispy bacon, and that’s just the start. Pile it up with homemade quick pickled red onions, jalapeño lime aioli, crushed tortilla chips and more, and you’ve got a serious winner for dinner.

LOOK AT WHAT I MADE.

Just look at this gorgeous, colorful mess of pork and all those ridiculous toppings.

The moment I even look at the pictures, I honestly start drooling all over again.

You all know I love going over-the-top with most of my recipes, and with the Fourth of July coming up, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to share one of those recipes with you all. (more…)

Best Skinny Eggplant Rollatini with Spinach

This is my favorite way to enjoy eggplant all summer long, hence calling it the Best Skinny Eggplant Rollatini with Spinach. It’s decadent, vegetarian comfort food at it’s best yet made light with no breading and no frying. So good and better than most eggplant dishes I order at restaurants which are typically fried and loaded with calories.

Wednesday Slice

http://ift.tt/2tnOwNY

1. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I was a Top Taco Denver judge last week where I devoured ALL the tacos and margaritas. I also magically threw a sombrero to land on a ring-toss game thing. After all those tacos, I am dying to find all the best tacos in the world… but I suppose I’ll have to start with Denver. Anyone have any favorites?? Share them with me!

2. The 20 year anniversary of Harry Potter was this week and I have to say, I am a little more emotional about it than I thought I would be. As someone who grew up with the books, tearing through the pages every time one came out all the way into my late teens, the series holds a special place in my heart. So in honor of the anniversary, here’s magical tattoos (I LOVE those three stars – I think I might add it to my current Deathly Hallows tattoo), the best Harry Potter podcasts, and lessons Harry Potter taught us.

3. Song of the Week is The Man by The Killers. I’m kind of excited that The Killers are back with a new song and I already can’t stop listening to it.  (more…)

Kaffir green curry recipe

 

Keep your belly warm and healthy this winter with this mouth-watering green curry courtesy of Broth of Life.

 

 

Curry:

• 4 chicken breasts without bone and skin - cut into large pieces (Vego option: your favourite vegetables or tofu)

• 1 x 400ml can of organic coconut milk
• ½ cup of pistachio nuts - chopped to garnish
• 4 teaspoons of Broth of Life Dehydrated Chicken Broth
• 1 red chilli - thinly sliced to garnish
• 1 handful fresh coriander - to garnish
• 1 tbsp of olive oil
• 4 Kaffir lime leaves - to garnish

 

 

Curry Paste:

• 3 teaspoons of Broth of Life Dehydrated Chicken Broth
• 4-5 Kaffir lime leaves - torn discarding the stems & central veins
• 4 medium green chillis - deseeded & finely chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons of galangal or 1 tbsp of ginger - peeled & chopped finely
• ½ teaspoon of fresh ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp of fish sauce
• 6 spring onions - washed & chopped
• 4 medium limes - zest & juice
• 2 lemongrass stalks - trimmed back & chopped finely
• 1 bunch of fresh basil or ½ a bunch Thai basil with stalk
• 1 bunch of coriander with stalk

 

 

Method

1. Place all of the curry paste ingredients into a food processor and mix until a smooth paste forms.

2. Use half the paste to marinate the chicken for at least 30 mins. Allowing more time gives an extra seasoned and aromatic flavour.

3. Add olive oil to a hot wok or casserole pan and fry chicken for 5 mins, then add the rest of the marinade.

4. Add the coconut milk, bring to the boil, then simmer uncovered for about 10 mins until the chicken is cooked.

5. If you do want to add more salt, you can add another ½ tablespoon of fish sauce to the dish.

6. Serve into 4 bowls and add a teaspoon of Broth of Life Dehydrated Chicken Broth on top of each.

7. Sprinkle each bowl with pistachio nuts, fresh coriander leaves, Kaffir lime leaf and red chilli to garnish.

8. Serve with organic brown rice, if desired.

Tart Cherry Fizz

http://ift.tt/2sMiYzE

Take advantage of cherry season with a juicy Tart Cherry Fizz! The bubbly, tart and fruity cocktail makes for a great summer sipper, no matter what the occasion is. With only four ingredients, you can even scale this recipe up to make it a big batch cocktail for your next party!

I made you something ridiculously simple and tasty to kick off the week before the Fourth of July.

The fact that Fourth of July is on a Tuesday this year is both a blessing and a curse, depending on your work situation.

To those of you who have to work Monday and get a random day off in the middle of the week, I feel your pain…

To those of you who have a four day weekend ahead of you… well, let’s just say my jealousy is real.  (more…)

We’re a family of four, so if a recipe serves more, it’s either packed up for everyone’s lunch or eaten the next day as leftovers. If you would like to see some of the previous week’s dinner plans, click here

Spicy Rotisserie Chicken Pressed Sandwich

http://ift.tt/2tVHI6w

A Spicy Rotisserie Chicken Pressed Sandwich is the elegant way to do a picnic lunch! The layers of chicken, cheddar cheese, red onion and spinach make a vibrant sandwich with a spicy bite from homemade Samurai sauce (read below to find out what that is, if ya don’t know already!). Time to up your sandwich game, my friends – the easy way.

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Tony’s Market! While I was compensated and given product in exchange for this post, as always, all opinions and the recipe are my own. Thanks for supporting the brands that support Cake ‘n Knife!

Picnics are something I always look forward to during the summer. It seems like everyone wants to be outside at all times during the Colorado summers and I have to say, I catch that bug too. Despite my aversion to actual bugs, I do relish the opportunity to sit down on a comfy picnic blanket with a basket full of goodies to enjoy the sunshine and each other’s company.

To me, picnics are an excuse to pack a basket of all those items you rarely ever treat yourself to. It’s a special occasion to plan a picnic, especially if you are planning a romantic picnic date, so I like to treat it like it’s a big event!

That’s why I turn to one place for all my picnic needs…  Tony’s Market.
