Cheesy Pulled Pork BBQ Bread Dip

http://ift.tt/2BzEsCb

Cheesy Pulled Pork BBQ Bread Dip is just the extreme tailgating fix you and your crew need for any game you are watching this season!

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Stubb’s Legendary Bar-B-Q Sauce. The contributor was compensated for recipe development. All opinions are her own.

Featuring Stubb’s famous Original Sauce with all of its incredible flavor, this meaty BBQ dip is the real deal. Made to look like a football, it’s impossible not to get in the tailgating mood!

You all know that I love any excuse to tailgate. Whether my favorite team is playing (despite their terrible losing streak right now) or I’m rooting for the Man’s favorite team, tailgating is in my blood.

It’s probably because any food associated with tailgating is the bomb dot COM.  (more…)

Homemade Spinach Manicotti

The secret to the best, irresistible manicotti is to make them from scratch with my easy homemade crespelles, which are basically Italian crepes. These spinach and cheese manicotti are filled with three cheeses – ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan, then topped with homemade sauce. So damn delicious!

http://ift.tt/2zLTwQ6

Red Wine Slow Cooker Short Rib Ragu is a bowl of comforting, warm and hearty pasta that sets just the right tone for the holiday season. With the weather getting chilly outside, there’s nothing like a rich and meaty meal to bring everyone around the dinner table. Plus it’s oh-so easy to make with your handy dandy slow cooker or electric pressure cooker!

This time of year, I just want to eat all of the beef and carb things.

Curling up with a big ol’ bowl of something warm and comforting is basically my life, as I snuggle up on the couch watching the Christmas tree sparkle and the dogs fight over their toys.

With a little Christmas music in the background, it’s impossible to resist this little scene of festive joy!  (more…)

Mexican Pinto Beans with Queso (Frijoles con Todo)

Mexican Pinto Beans made from scratch in the pressure cooker topped with tomatoes, cilantro, avocado and my favorite part, the cheese! Serve as soup or a side.

Sponsored by Capital One

Growing up in a half Latin home with a Colombian mom, homemade beans made from scratch were a staple. Lazy Sundays Mom would have a big pot of beans simmering all day on the stove ready to feed anyone and everyone who came over unexpected, in fact she still does that today. Beans also happen to be my husband’s favorite thing in the world to eat, I seriously think he fell in love with me after the first time he tried my beans. So when I want to make a dish I know Tommy will love, beans are on the menu. These Mexican Pinto Beans are life, made from scratch in the pressure cooker with onions, chile, jalapeno, tomatoes, cilantro, avocado and my favorite part, the queso! Soupy and mild in heat, they can be served as a soup or as a side dish over rice or with tortillas.

The holiday season is upon us and for me that means one thing…

It’s time to indulge in ALL the things I’ve been avoiding all summer long!

One particular tradition I so look forward to this time of year is digging into truffles. It was always the tradition after big holiday meals to open up one of those two layered boxes of chocolates, trying to get my hands on the caramel-filled ones before the rest of the family swooped in to steal them.

We still keep up this tradition in my family… and it doesn’t mean good things for my waistline. All those truffles and chocolates are tasty to eat, but by the time the New Year rolls around, pants get a little tighter than I want them to…  (more…)
