    A Very Good Pimento Cheese Burger

    September 2, 2022 by Lindsay 14 Comments

    HELLO, best pimento cheese sandwich meets pimento cheese grilled cheese meets a perfectly seasoned smashburger! This easy burger with pimento cheese is SO good and perfect for indoor cast iron skillet burgers or outdoor grilling. I love to make pimento cheeseburger and fries plates, but these are also really yummy with homemade potato chips!

    Ok, so where do we stand on grill vs indoor for burger cooking? I'll be honest: I LOVE a burger on the grill, but I'm also super partial to the consistency of indoor cooking (a nice way to say that I'm a control freak). Weather concerns, gas running out, regular "life happens" kinds of things can derail a great burger night plan, and when I want a burger I want a burger.

    Enter: Cast Iron Skillet Burgers. They're by far my favorite way to make burgers indoors. Super simple, seasoned just with kosher salt, a delicious crust from a very hot pan. THEN, we top the whole mess with spicy homemade pimento cheese for a creamy, cool, sharp contrast to the salty beef.

    Let's just....SAY YES to the phrase salty beef. You know?

    Greek Yogurt Coleslaw with Poppyseed Dressing

    June 10, 2022 by Lindsay 7 Comments

    THE BEST slaw for fish tacos recipe ever! Just 6 ingredients make this creamy, tangy, no mayo coleslaw one that you'll make again and again. I love this over fish tacos with peach salsa and sour cream guacamole, or with a grilled chicken dinner!

    white bowl of poppyseed slaw with Greek yogurt on wooden board with floral napkin.
    white cabbage slaw on brown board.

    Will has started to do this thing where if he is unsatisfied with something I offer for a snack he gives me a texture clue as to what he really wants. So if he wants yogurt it's "I want something smushy," pretzels "I'm thinking of a cwunchy snack," and so on. It's hilarious, and I have no clue where he came up with it.

    BUT, what I'm thrilled he's figured out is this: foods need different textures. So if we're talking about a soft fish taco, some crunchy slaw to top it is exactly the key to wake it up a little bit.

    This particular slaw goes with just about anything: on top of BBQ sandwiches, in fish tacos, as a side dish to grilled chicken with corn on the cob. It's great with any cabbage you like, and the dressing is also delicious on green salads!

    cooked grilled shrimp on grill pan with lemon slices

    We are in a weird busy all the time no time to breathe place. This time last year there was a decided air of "but are we allowed to do anything," and now it's a little....lighter.

    Lighter for us, though, means HERE ARE 15 SCHOOL THINGS YOU NEED TO ATTEND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WORKDAY. Which is very cute and fun and also very time consuming. #childrenareablessing

    In preparation for whatever you might be doing this weekend, hopefully with lots of relaxation and folks you love, here are my absolute favorite recipes for Memorial Day!

    Fresh Peach Jalapeno Salsa

    March 11, 2022 by Lindsay 10 Comments

    Delicious, refreshing homemade tomato peach salsa! This recipe is made right in the food processor and can be made with fresh or canned peaches. The tomatoes, peaches, and jalapeno combine with lime juice for delicious, bright flavor that is delicious on chips served next to sour cream guacamole for a fun party platter.

    peach jalapeno salsa with pale white chips.

    Ok, where do we fall on fruit in our salsa? I am team YES to pineapple pizza, YES to fruit in salsa, all the sweet/savory combos in the world.

    This peach salsa is super simple because we make it right in the food processor, aka NO CHOPPING. The end result is somewhere between a salsa and a peach pico de gallo - fresh, light, with TONS of flavor.

    I make this all the time to have as a snack with a cookout or pool party situation, but it's also a really great topping for fish tacos or weeknight seared salmon - a little fresh, islandy vibe even in colder months.

    (PS, you can definitely make this with canned peaches year round!)
