This moist, grilled balsamic chicken with melted cheese and a tomato-avocado salsa as as beautiful as it is delicious. The summertime flavors of tomato and avocado naturally lend themselves to the sweet balsamic marinated chicken breasts for a dish that everyone loves. Fancy enough for guests, but easy enough for […]
Main Dishes
Peanut Butter Maple Apple Crumble is the cozy dessert my autumn evenings have been craving. 🍁🍎
I tossed 2 peeled and chopped Granny Smith apples with @peanutbutterco Mighty Maple peanut butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a little flour, then spooned them into a baking dish.
For the topping, I cut together more Mighty Maple, butter, brown sugar, quick oats, and flour, sprinkled it over the apples, and baked it at 350°F for about 15 minutes.
Served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of warmed Mighty Maple, it is sweet, comforting, and just right for a fall night.

#ad Dinner in thirty minutes with only one pan to wash is my kind of weeknight win!
Johnsonville Ground Italian Sausage adds protein and plenty of flavor, so this skillet tastes like it took far more effort than it did. 🤭
Here is how my 30 Minute Sausage and Butternut Squash Skillet comes together:
Brown the Johnsonville sausage first, then remove it and set aside. Use the same pan to saute cubed butternut squash and diced onion until the squash carmelizes a bit on the edges. Add a diced Granny Smith apple, garlic, and sage, then pour in chicken broth, some apple cider, and a spoonful of Dijon.
Cover and simmer until the squash is fork tender, about ten minutes. Stir the sausage back in with a few handfuls of chopped kale and cook until the kale wilts and the liquid reduces.
Sweet apple, savory sausage, and a little tang from the mustard make every bite balanced. @johnsonville comes through yet again to make weeknight cooking easy but delicious!
Save this one for the next night you need a full meal on the table fast.

My new 11" titanium skillet from @kobachcookware took on your frittata challenge, and I am completely smitten. 🥰
This pan has no coating at all, and yet, even after time on the stove and in the oven. that first slice lifted out without leaving a single bit of egg behind! Watch the end of the reel to see it for yourself. I have never loved a pan this much, and it has "officially" become my favorite in the kitchen.
Now I'm going to challenge YOU! Is your pan up to the no-stick challenge? You can even use my recipe for Spinach Artichoke Frittata:
Whisk together a dozen eggs, 3/4 cup cream, about 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese, and salt and pepper.
Saute 2 cups fresh spinach and 1 can of artichoke hearts, drained, on the stovetop.
When the spinach wilts, pour the egg mixture over it.
Cook on the stovetop until the edges set.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, or until the center is set.
If you want a beautiful Kobach titanium pan of your own, use my code CAROLYN15 to save 15% at kobachcookware.com. Tap the link in my bio and it'll take you straight there.
I promise, you'll fall for it, too. ❤️

From delicious egg dishes and savoury bites to fluffy cakes, freshly baked treats, cookies, pastries, and mouthwatering desserts, we want to see all the wonderful ways you use eggs in your kitchen! 🍳🧁🍮
My eggcellent dish is ramen topped with egg. Of all the ramen toppings out there, a soft-boiled egg is the one I can't do without! That extra bit of protein adds an extra layer of flavor and texture that completes the dish. 🥚❤️

We're still thinking about everything we ate at Taste of Naperville!
From Friday, October 9, to Sunday, October 18, restaurants all over the city served up food as $5, $10, $15, and $20 bites, and we spent our day sampling our way through downtown, where all three of our stops were an easy walk apart.
📍 SixtyFour Wine Bar & Kitchen, 123 Water Street
The $20 Bite Chef’s Platter and a glass of wine made for a perfect first stop. Four delicious amuse-bouche pieces (a truffle wedge of baby Manchester, a roasted date stuffed with herded goat cheese, a bruschetti crostini, and a piece of peppered bacon with hatch pepper gouda) set a delicious tone for our culinary adventure!
📍 Empire Burgers and Brew, 48 West Chicago Avenue
Two sliders and the beer of the month made their $15 Bite an instant favorite. We were so happy to bask in the moment on their rooftop, enjoying the sunshine and the food!
📍 Fat Rosie’s Taco and Tequila Bar, 22 East Chicago Avenue
The $5 Bite Beef Empanadas hooked us right away, and the $15 Bite Fish Taco Plate brought ALL the flavor. We were completely stuffed, but the $10 Bite of Pumpkin Tres Leches Cake looked so good, we had to take one home.
Thank you, Naperville, for a delicious few days! We can't wait to do it all again next year!

Look what I found at my local Target! 🌽
My regular readers know I'm always on the hunt for quick, delicious products that can make an easy lunch and can be dressed up for a savory dinner. These Mexican Street Corn Tamales from @sanmiguel.us totally fit the bill! They heat up in 40 seconds 😲 in the microwave. All you have to do is snip off the top to vent the package and pop it in.
I found these to be deliciously savory and slightly sweet They weren't too spicy...there was a gentle hint of jalapeño in the masa. Now these tamales may not come wrapped in a husk, but they have the same creamy consistency as homemade tamales.
You can eat them right out of the pouch with a fork if you're in a hurry, or you can pair them with black beans and rice, like I did, for a more filling meal. San Miguel tamales are all gluten-free and made with plant-based protein, so they can be enjoyed by everyone.
I found mine at @target , but you can also get them at Dollar Tree or online at Amazon or Walmart.com.
Follow me to discover more quick, delicious products and recipes!

Dinner at Warren's Ale House in Wheaton was exactly what I needed: delicious flavors and cold brews served in a warm, friendly setting. It was the kind of meal that I love to share!
We started with their locally famous Italian Beef Egg Rolls, as featured as a best mash-up on WGN TV's @chicagosbesttv. The outside was crisp like any good egg roll, but inside was a well-balanced blend of Italian beef, queso, Monterey Jack, and giardiniera. It was literally all the savory goodness of Italian beef in a crispy egg roll, even with au jus if you like your beef wet...IYKYK
@warrensalehouse is known for their large selection of beers om tap, featuring many local breweries. We kept our drinks Chicago-brewed with Freedom Lemonade, a fruited sour from @revbrewchicago, and Juicy Beer for Burgers, an American pale ale from @offcolorbrewing. That one was perfectly named for our order, lol. Both were delicious, and of the high quality we've come to expect from both breweries.
For our entrees, we had the Black and Blue Burger, an 8-ounce Angus patty with caramelized onions, mushrooms, blue cheese dressing, steak sauce, and arugula on marbled rye. We added bacon and enjoyed it with a side salad. That burger SLAPPED! Cooked beautifully with pink in the center, it was well-seasoned with toppings that delighted the taste buds.
We also enjoyed the Big Dipper Grilled Cheese, which pairs braised short rib with a trio of cheeses: pepper jack, brie, and fontina, captured between slices of toasted sourdough. This was the grilled cheese to top all grilled cheese sandwiches! That short rib MELTED in our mouths and offset the cheese combination beautifully. Don't miss the tomato bisque for dipping! That takes this sandwich to another level.
Warren's Ale House is family friendly with a great vibe. Whether you're watching the game or gathering around the table with the people you love, Warren's is exactly what you need!

I tried Spylt milk for the first time and the vanilla milkshake flavor won me over right away! 🥛
This high protein caffeinated milk has 20 grams of protein and 90 calories per serving, with no added sugar. It was so smooth and creamy that it tasted EXACTLY like a melted vanilla milkshake. I am not kidding!
Spylt comes all kinds of yummy-sounding flavors, and I can't wait to try them all.
• Vanilla Milkshake
• Chocolate
• Strawberry
• Cookies and Cream
• Peanut Butter Chocolate
• And their newest flavor, Maple Donut
@spyltmilk is on the shelves at stores like Target, Kroger, and Albertsons. But since today is Amazon Prime Day, I'm placing a stock-up order because it's 15% off. ☺️
Help a girl out. When my order arrives, which flavor should I try next? 👇
