Great for munching on during the playoffs!

Happy New Year! I bought myself a spiralizer for Christmas, and am going to do something a bit different this month and share some healthier recipes with you than I normally do, but today we are going to talk football food.

LA MORENA®, the leader in authentic peppers and chilies, is holding a fabulous giveaway this month to celebrate the playoffs! Do you watch? If so, do you make awesome food to eat while watching? I make all sorts of appetizers and chili every year for the playoffs. Of course, having a great new TV to watch them on would be nice, right?

#VivaLaMorenaSweepstakes (NFL Playoffs)

We also watch the collage football games, so I made these pizza's when my husband was watching last week. I went to Walmart to pick up LA MORENA® Chipotle Peppers in Adobo.

While I was there I also picked up individual size naan flatbreads. This Chipotle Chicken Naan Pizza can be made either way, individual pizzas or whole pizzas. It is so simple to make if you have precooked diced chicken. You'll need about two cups. Then, the only thing you will need to do is chop up the LA MORENA® Chipotle Peppers.

I bought the 13 ounce size, but for these pizza's you will only need the 7 ounce, or just save the rest for another use. Chop the peppers up fine and put them back in the adobo sauce. This will be the sauce for the pizza.

Spread the chopped chipotle peppers with the adobo sauce thinly over the tops of each flatbread. You don't want to use too much in order to control the heat level.

Top with the chicken and shredded cheeses, and put in the oven for about twelve minutes.

Yummy!

Most Popular Recipes 2016

December 29, 2016

It's time for the annual Most Popular Recipes of the year report already?! How does that happen? I feel like it was just summer, and yet Christmas was three days ago! Let's take a trip down memory lane with these great recipes from the past year, and an old favorite or two. There is something for everyone here, from salads to dinners, appetizers to drinks, and more. I've separated the most popular recipes by season, along with individual photos, so you can easily save your favorites, or all of them.

Most Popular Recipes Winter 2016

January was a great month for #SundaySupper recipes for me, and Loaded Crab Poutine was my favorite recipe of the month. It has homemade potato chips, fresh crab, diced tomatoes, green peppers, and scallions then topped with a Gouda cream sauce and blue cheese crumbles, this stuff is amazing!

Sweet, garlicky, and slightly spicy Honey Garlic Salmon was by far the most viewed new recipe of February, as well as number 8 for most views this entire year. It's healthy and quick and easy to make, ready in less than 30 minutes!

The most popular recipes of March came at the end of the month with Chorizo and Black Bean Chili, ironically made on the first day of Spring, and Margherita Naan Pizza. Made with Mexican beef chorizo and a secret, delicious ingredient, the chili is to die for!

Naan flatbread topped with mozzarella cheese slices, sweet cherry tomatoes, basil, and olive oil, this Margherita Naan Pizza is incredibly easy to make and ready in about 20 minutes.

Most Popular Recipes Spring 2016

Something amazing happened the first week of April when I finally had a photo accepted by Foodgawker! It was this gorgeous and delicious Eggplant Parmesan.

Cheesy Baked Garlic Chicken Strips was another of the most popular recipes in April. They make a great finger food for both kids and grown-ups!

May was a fun month! I took part in #BrunchWeek, and made a total of six recipes for it. My personal favorite, and still popular today, is Baked Seafood Stuffed Avocados. They are filled with crab and shrimp, and would be perfect for an elegant New Year's Eve dinner party.

At the end of May I shared Slow Cooker French Dip Au Jus, which is perfect year round! Just a few minutes to prepare and hours later you have a delicious dinner everyone will love.

Most Popular Recipes Summer 2016

It was a typical Summer here. In my world Summer starts on my birthday, June 1, and ends when the kids go back to school at the end of August. I never manage to share a lot of recipes in the Summer, only a total of six this summer, but they were mostly all favorites. Watermelon Punch is the perfect summertime cocktail, with fresh pureed watermelon, lemon-lime soda, watermelon flavored rum, and vodka, it’s a refreshing grown-up beverage we make for cookouts all summer long.

Grilled Cajun Blueberry BBQ Ribs are rubbed with Cajun seasoning, slow cooked, and topped with an easy to make blueberry BBQ sauce. They were my favorite grilled recipe of the summer.

Creamy Cucumber Salad is a recipe I've been making for many years and finally shared this summer. With garden fresh cucumbers, onions, and sour cream, it is a cool, refreshing summer salad great for cookouts or light dinners.

Crispy Fried Green Tomatoes was the hit at the end of summer. I make mine a little different than the traditional Southern version, with Panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic, onion, and a little kick of cayenne pepper.

With a warm September, these summertime recipes stayed at the top until October, along with my all time most popular recipe for years, Broccoli Cheddar Pasta Salad (Walmart Copycat Recipe).

Most Popular Recipes Fall 2016

Homemade Cayenne Pepper Sauce made with fresh cayenne peppers and jalapenos right out of my garden was the most viewed from September. Trust me, once you make it yourself, you will never want store-bought again!

October was all about these Cheesy Mexican Chorizo Puff Pastry Tarts, a spicy, cheesy, flaky appetizer great for munching on during the game or for a party!

Melt in your mouth Browned Butter Garlic Parmesan Scallops were the most viewed new recipe of November, but the most viewed recipe for the month was last year's Slow Cooker Stuffing with Bacon Onions and Sage. The scallops are quick to make, fancy enough for a special occasion like New Year's Eve, yet simple enough for a weeknight dinner.

December was all about Christmas and New Year's, with Overnight Eggs Benedict Casserole with homemade Hollandaise in the beginning of the month.

Three days before Christmas I shared a last minute roundup of 14 of the Best Christmas Recipes that many loved. It turns out that I'm not the only one that does things last minute!

I can't wait to see what the new year will bring! I'm sure there will be more of something for everyone. This coming year will be my fifth year sharing recipes here, and I'm looking forward to sharing many more. Have a great New Year's everyone!

14 of the Best Christmas Recipes

This is the 5th Christmas since I started food blogging, but I haven't shared a ton of Christmas recipes. You see, there are two types of food bloggers, those that are prepared well in advance, making Christmas recipes and photographing them in August, and then there is me. I only made two Christmas recipes this year. The first is Overnight Eggs Benedict Casserole, which would be perfect for Christmas morning!

The week before that I shared a indulgent Reese's Peanut Butter No-Bake Cheesecake. Personally, I would eat that anytime, anywhere, but I'm sure that's just me, right?

I've haven't shared a main course Christmas dinner recipe like Prime Rib or ham yet, so for that may I suggest Slow Cooker Christmas Ham from All Roads Lead to the Kitchen? It looks delicious!

Potato Fondantes made with baby Yukon Gold potatoes are an excellent holiday side dish that goes with any main course. Try this recipe from Life Currents.

It's Yummi made festive Cranberry Brussels Sprouts Potato Pancakes. These are quick and easy to make, using frozen shredded potatoes. Cranberries, Brussels Sprouts, and potatoes, all the best holiday side dishes in one!

My food blogging friends have a great collection of Christmas breads. Santa Head Bread from Cookistry is a fun way to make bread for Christmas. Serve it for dinner, or give it as a gift!

Check out this Lefse from Farm Fresh Feasts. It's Kirsten's mother's recipe for the Norwegian soft potato flatbread popular at Christmastime.

Everyone knows the best part of Christmas is the treats. Candy Cane Cookie Bundt Cake from Desserts Required is literally make with candy and cookies!

Another regional recipe comes from Manu's Menu in the form of Panettone, a traditional Italian cake made with candied citrus and raisins.

If cookies are more your thing, or you want to give them as a gift, Flourless Mexican Chocolate Cookies with Spicy Roasted Pepitas from Kitchen Tested sound delicious and easy.

Brownies anyone? Peppermint Fudge Topped Brownies, chocolate Fudge Brownies with a thick layer of fudge and a layer of crushed peppermint candy canes, from Big Bear's Wife will make anyone's Christmas merrier.

Finally, we need gifts. Food and drinks make great gifts, and who doesn't love candy? Cinnamon Rock Candy from Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch is homemade candy great for kids or adults.

I hope you enjoyed this collection of the Best Christmas Recipes. Let us know if you try them! I'll be back next week with my year-end review. Merry Christmas everybody!

Pad See Ew (Soy Sauce Stir-Fried Noodles)

December 15, 2016

Pad See Ew ( meaning "fried with soy sauce") is made with large rice noodles, pork loin, broccoli, and scrambled eggs fried in soy sauce. Makes a great weeknight dinner and better than takeout!

I'm taking a break from sharing holiday recipes to share a easy and delicious weeknight dinner. A few weeks ago I got out a couple cookbooks and told Amanda, age 7, to look through them and find something she might possibly want for dinner. She's been more than extremely picky recently, even turning down foods she's eaten before, liked, and asked for the time she turned it down! I was an extremely picky eater as a kid, too, so I do get it. I know that letting kids pick out there meals sometimes helps and so does having them help cook. She picked out this Pad See Ew from Christine Ha's Recipes From My Home Kitchen. Christine Ha was the winner of season three of MasterChef. Legally blind since her twenties , Christine Ha had to relearn how to cook using her other senses. I loved watching her on the show so much that when her cookbook was released a few years ago, I bought it immediately.

Pad See Ew

I wasn't really surprised that Amanda picked out this recipe from this cookbook, she loves Asian food, and noodles. The great thing about Pad See Ew is that it can be made with whatever kind of meat (or without meat) and stir-fry vegetables you like. Thin strips of meat and vegetables cook up quickly. I changed the recipe from the original by soaking the rice noodles instead of boiling them before adding them to the stir-fry, using broccolini instead of Chinese broccoli, and using low-sodium soy sauce instead of light soy sauce. We don't have an Asian grocery store around here, I wish we did! I also increased the amount of soy sauce because I felt the noodles were too dry. I recommend starting with 2 tablespoons of each and increasing from there if needed.
