Chicken Club Tacos

June 2, 2016 by Lindsay 2 Comments

Fun food alert!

This is such weekend food I just can't even take it.

I love a taco, I just can't deal. I especially love non-Mexican-flavored tacos, isn't that strange? There's a Mexican food truck in town that sells a Korean-style pork belly taco and I almost die of happiness every time I eat one, not even joking. It's SO good. I don't mind "regular" tacos, obviously, because I'm not a communist, but I prefer my Mexican food to be in some kind of bowl form, like the rice bowls I make at least once a week without fail.

So I made this taco! Which has nice classic chicken club ingredients + avocado + a chipotle sauce, which never hurt anything, I'll tell you that much right now. You don't wanna miss this.

Open-Faced Scallop Po Boys + Spicy Remoulade

May 12, 2016 by Lindsay 1 Comment

Jay is a huge fan of a po boy. You know, a fried seafood sandwich with some veg and a creamy-yet-spicy sauce. He tries them at lots of restaurants, but we were discussing how bread + mayo + fried doesn't make the most healthy sandwich you've ever had in your life.

We also discussed that we didn't really care.

I really wanted to make a po boy with scallops because I had some in the freezer (been buying the bags from Trader Joe's, love them more than life itself), and an open face sandwich just kind of felt right, you know? You could of course make this on a roll and eat it with your hands, but there's something about scallops that to me deserve utensils. And so, this sandwich that isn't really a sandwich (honestly, open faced just means bread on a plate) was born. You'll flip.

Easy BBQ Shrimp Tacos + Honey Mustard Apple Slaw

April 20, 2016 by Lindsay 1 Comment

Ok so this was clearly Jay's idea.

Anyone who knows 1. us, 2. Jay, and 3. Jay's food history knows that he a. grew up husky (ha) and b. loves barbecue sauce. Like, loves it. I like it fine, but I always go for a mustardy or vinegary sauce. Jay, on the other hand, likes the ketchup/molasses-based stuff, preferably out of a jar.

Ew. To me, it's way too sweet, and after a bite or two of anything with that kind of sauce on it I'm all.....WHERE IS ANY OTHER KIND OF FOOD GOOD LORD UGH. It's really one of the few foods that I just can't get into in large quantities.

But! There are other ways. Ways to make a red sauce that's sweet but also tangy and smoky, super quick without simmering it all day OR buying a jar of something. And then you put it on tacos with crunchy vinegar slaw which TOTALLY makes up for the ketchup brown sugar base, and you have a taco.

A great taco.

Smashed Double Cheeseburger

March 30, 2016 by Lindsay 5 Comments

Cue easiest burger ever!

No, but really. Since Jay became a vegetarian-most-of-the-time and I've been pregnant or breastfeeding for evarrrrrrr, we've had some issues with me wanting to eat beef and having no one to share it with. The things I do for marriage, I mean, seriously.

I'm a huge burger fan, and I'm actually not a really big fan of fancy burgers that taste like other things. A chorizo taco burger? Why can't I just have chorizo tacos? Nothing wrong with it, but I'm all about a super plain, classic burger. Regular.

These burgers are fast-food-ish but obviously way better, and because you season them in the skillet you can make one or ten with no extra effort - you throw in the meat, season it right there, smash it down. No mixing, forming patties, resting, nope. Burger in 10 minutes. These are cooked in butter for super crispy edges, and Sharp American is an absolute must. I don't use American cheese ever, but on this burger other cheese just feels out of place.

Rosemary Walnut Chicken Salad

March 28, 2016 by Lindsay 1 Comment

Great news! I made this 3 times in the last 2 weeks.

No joke, and there are no leftovers. Half of Greenville has tried this ish and I haven't gotten a bad review yet.

So that tells you something, right? It's a chicken salad with no celery but with deeeeelicious flavors of walnuts and fresh rosemary. Not too much mayo. Some onion and garlic powders for flavor. Pan-seared chicken for that brown meat flavor that just can't be replicated. Trust me. You need this ASAP.
