- [Overnight Cinnamon Rolls with Tahini-Cream Cheese Frosting and Sweet Pistachio Dukkah](https://nevernothungry.com/overnight-cinnamon-rolls-with-tahini-cream-cheese-frosting-and-sweet-pistachio-dukkah/) - Here's a different take on the classic overnight cinnamon roll that leans slightly savory with flavors like tahini, sesame seeds and flaky salt. Not too savory that you think you're eating a dinner roll (c'mon, they're still cinnamon rolls!) but just enough to cut through the rich sweetness that cinnamon rolls normally inhabit.I love working

I realized I had an excess of both breakfast and sandwich recipes that were really messing up my content flow and needed to get them off my chest and out into the world. I'm going to be honest:
- [Date Nut Delight](https://nevernothungry.com/date-nut-delight/) - I'm fully experiencing Christmas in July right now. Partially because I work at a food magazine and we're starting recipe development for our holiday issue, and partially because this is THE dessert at my family Christmas. Sure, there are other desserts on the table, but this is my very, very favorite. It's the fudgiest, chocolatey-est
- [Individual Breakfast Pot Pies with Sausage & Veggie Gravy](https://nevernothungry.com/individual-breakfast-pot-pies-with-sausage-veggie-gravy/) - Breakfast pot pies with veggies, sausage gravy, and a puff pastry lid with a soft egg inside?! I'll belly right up to the table for that one.Not only are they wildly cute, they're individually portioned and perfectly scalable to feed a crowd for breakfast. You just need mini cast-iron skillets; I used these 5-inch ones,

Charred sweet corn enrobed in a slightly spicy, smoky, creamy sauce with handfuls of fresh herbs to finish.

Smash burgers are exactly my kind

If you want risotto in June or ice cream in January, you should have it! Asparagus
- [Strawberry Pretzel Salad](https://nevernothungry.com/strawberry-pretzel-salad/) - Whatever twisted genius thought to call a dessert with layers of buttery crust, whipped cheesecake filling and strawberry gelatin topping a salad is my new best friend. Who needs vegetables anyway... To say this is a nostalgic dessert for me would be an understatement. It's one of my most beloved "vintage" (circa 1990's) desserts that

I was intrigued and
- [Guacamole](https://nevernothungry.com/guacamole/) - This is my very favorite way to make guacamole. It's so flavorful while staying true to the flavor of the buttery, rich avocado.

- [Open-Faced Green Goddess Chicken Melts](https://nevernothungry.com/open-faced-green-goddess-chicken-melts/) - I HATE chicken salad*.

A rich,
- [Creamy Mushroom Bisque](https://nevernothungry.com/creamy-mushroom-bisque/) - She sure isn't pretty to look at, but she's a beaut to eat! I wish I could present you this mushroom bisque with a blindfold, because once you taste it, you're sure to forget about how blah and, well, brown, it is. I had a version of this at long-gone restaurant in my hometown and
- [Peach Cobbler](https://nevernothungry.com/peach-cobbler/) - OMG, guys, you have to make this. TONIGHT. It is the BEST peach cobbler I've ever had! Okay, enough with the all-caps...for now. First, it starts with a ton of peaches, which will be tossed with melted butter, granulated and brown sugars, vanilla paste (for flavor plus flecks!) and some peach liqueur, if you're serious
- [Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Vanilla Bean Crème Anglaise](https://nevernothungry.com/pumpkin-bread-pudding-with-vanilla-bean-creme-anglaise/) - This pumpkin bread pudding may be just make you leave that classic pumpkin pie behind this year. It has all that pumpkin flavor and spice you love, but in a much more decadent and unique form. I served this for Thanksgiving a few years ago and, aside from poor time management on my part (I'm
- [Vanilla Bean Crème Anglaise](https://nevernothungry.com/vanilla-bean-creme-anglaise/) - Here's an all-purpose recipe that is great to have in your repertoire! Vanilla bean crème anglaise is a great sauce to have on hand for a multitude of desserts-it amps up the flavor and decadence level while making any dessert look elegant. This is essentially the base for vanilla ice cream, so if you've ever

- [Gourmet Sweet Potato Classic](https://nevernothungry.com/gourmet-sweet-potato-classic/) - If I had to pick one recipe that NEVER FAILS to please, always gets rave reviews and rarely leaves leftovers, this would be it! Gourmet Sweet Potato Classic has been making an appearance on my family's Thanksgiving table for years now, which says a lot because we only break out our best for Thanksgiving entertaining,
- [November 2018 Cookbook Clique](https://nevernothungry.com/november-2018-cookbook-clique/) - I missed October's cookbook pick because I was busy redesigning my website, so I'm giving you one of my all-time favorites to make it up to you... Okay, so probably no surprise here that I'm picking the cookbook from one of my very favorite bloggers, Half Baked Harvest, for this month's cookbook clique! I fangirl
- [September 2018 Cookbook Clique](https://nevernothungry.com/september-2018-cookbook-clique/) - Here's my pick for our September 2018 Cookbook Clique! The Pretty Dish by Jessica Merchant (aka How Sweet Eats) has got it all: pretty pictures, food you can't wait to eat, and creativity up the wazoo. If you follow my blog at all, you may know that I am borderline creepily obsessed with Jessica and
- [Pumpkin Butter Rugelach](https://nevernothungry.com/pumpkin-butter-rugelach/) - Welcome to another episode of Amanda Can't Decide Which Pictures to Use, episode Here's A Recipe With Too Many Photos. These pumpkin butter rugelach are just so freaking cute! Rugelach are traditional Jewish pastries, made with a cream cheese/sour cream dough and usually filled with fruit jam and/or nuts. Cut into wedges and rolled up into
- [Perfect Basmati-Cilantro Rice](https://nevernothungry.com/perfect-basmati-cilantro-rice/) - This is my all-time favorite way to make steamed rice! In all honesty, I don't love rice (unless it's fried rice with tons of Yum-Yum sauce or this coconut rice), but some recipes just scream for it to soak up all the sauce. Whether rice is life for you, or you're more take-it-or-leave-it like me,
- [Gift Guide for the Homebody](https://nevernothungry.com/gift-guide-for-the-homebody/) - Hey, friends! I'm doing something new this holiday season...I love shopping (and especially love online perusing) so it seems only natural to create gift guides! I'll have about 8 gift guides coming in the month of November, so you'll have plenty of time to pick out the right gifts and get them in time for
- [Spicy Sesame-Peanut Noodles with Zucchini and Crispy Tofu](https://nevernothungry.com/spicy-sesame-peanut-noodles-with-zucchini-and-crispy-tofu/) - YOU GUYS. This is so good, it's 100% vegan, completely filling and so craveable. This will even convert tofu haters because the tofu is cooked with some of the peanut sauce and gets caramelized and crispy. Did I mention this is also gluten-free? The recipe calls for rice noodles (like these ones) and spiralized zucchini
- [Gougères](https://nevernothungry.com/gougeres/) - Gougères are one of the best recipes to have in your repertoire: they look fancy, are easy to make and are real crowd-pleasers! Plus you're learning one of the most basic French batters, a pâte à choux dough, which is so multi-purpose that it swerves from cream puffs and eclairs, to profiteroles, to gougères with
- [November 2018 Book Bag](https://nevernothungry.com/november-2018-book-bag/) - How is it November already?! I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween! Here are my November book picks! Let me know if you have read any of these or are planning to read along. 1. The War of Art by Steven Pressfield You guys, I've secretly been struggling behind the scenes with major imposter
- [Nutty Honeycrisp Apple and Kale Salad with Cinnamon-Shallot Vinaigrette](https://nevernothungry.com/nutty-honeycrisp-apple-and-kale-salad-with-cinnamon-shallot-vinaigrette/) - What the what?! Cinnamon in a salad dressing?! Damn straight. It's so fall, y'all, that you'll wonder how you've gone your whole life without putting cinnamon in one of your fall salads. This recipe is from my fave, How Sweet Eats, and she kills it with this flavorful autumn salad full of sweet and smoky
- [Candy Bar Skillet Cookie](https://nevernothungry.com/candy-bar-skillet-cookie/) - Have leftover candy from Halloween? This recipe has got you covered! Why not put it into a skillet cookie to share instead of sneaking it up to your room to consume mass quantities privately, probably in a dark room with the curtains closed and door locked? (Or wait, is that just me?) This is a
- [Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich](https://nevernothungry.com/ultimate-breakfast-sandwich/) - AKA the famous Eggslut Fairfax breakfast sandwich aka softly scrambled eggs, caramelized onions, cheddar and Sriracha mayonnaise on a (you should totally make these homemade) brioche bun aka the ultimate hunger/hangover killer, depending on which group you're in. This is a little high-maintenance because a) you have to caramelize onions, which we all know you
- [Skillet Roasted Chicken](https://nevernothungry.com/skillet-roasted-chicken/) - Everyone needs a great, trusty roast chicken recipe, right? This one is guaranteed to give you perfectly cooked, juicy chicken with a crackly golden-brown skin every time. FYI: one of my favorite pastimes is snacking on some salty, peppery chicken skin.Cast-iron skillets are indispensable kitchen tools, and one of the most frequently used in my
- [Praline Bacon](https://nevernothungry.com/praline-bacon/) - I'm letting you in on my top-secret, show-stopping brunch recipe that everyone oohs and ahhs and loses their business over. (Just kidding, it's Ina's recipe.) But I'm not kidding about this being a real winner. This is just an excuse to eat sugar-coated bacon for breakfast.The recipe comes together in a cinch, but does take
- [French Onion Soup](https://nevernothungry.com/french-onion-soup/) - Welcome to the most high-maintenance, but sure-to-be-the-best-you-ever-make-at-home French onion soup recipe! I actually don't think I've ever met anyone who doesn't love French onion soup-even if they hate onions. Something about the rich beef stock, sweet caramelized onions and ooey-gooey cheese pulls (that all my hopes and dreams are made of) ropes 'em in. Do
- [Simple Roasted Brussels Sprouts](https://nevernothungry.com/simple-roasted-brussels-sprouts/) - There's something transcendent about a perfect, simple recipe. Even more so when it's for the humble Brussels sprout, which gets such a bad rap because so many of us have only experienced boiled-to-death, mushy little brassicas that (almost) ruin us from ever eating them again. Fried Brussels sprouts have taken the appetizer scene by storm
- [Balsamic Peach Salad with Chicken and Crispy Prosciutto](https://nevernothungry.com/balsamic-peach-salad-with-chicken-and-crispy-prosciutto/) - AGGHH, I fully recognize that peach season is basically over and this recipe is waaay late. I'm sharing it anyway because I promised I would a few weeks ago before I got the crazy idea to completely change my website. I promise it's (sadly) the last of the summery recipes you'll see from me until
- [August 2018 Cookbook Clique](https://nevernothungry.com/august-2018-cookbook-clique/) - CRAVINGS! We all have 'em, right?! Like, right now, I'm craving a big, juicy steak. Maybe a baked potato. Oooohh, how about a milkshake too? Okay, so Chrissy Teigen knows we all have cravings and she knows how irresistible cravings can be so she went out and gave us a whole cookbook full of craveable

I’m hoping this will be a time for us to talk about life like we’re really sitting together over brunch and share favorites…articles, recipes,
- [Peach Upside-Down Cake](https://nevernothungry.com/peach-upside-down-cake/) - Run! Go now and buy alllll the peaches. You have to make this peach upside-down cake before they’re gone for the season and our peach fixes are relegated to opening a frozen bag or can of peach slices. Yeah, yeah, they’re fine, but there’s nothing like a fresh, juicy peach to eat out of hand,
- [Spicy Parmesan Stuffed Mushrooms](https://nevernothungry.com/spicy-parmesan-stuffed-mushrooms/) - Mushrooms, Appetizers, Stuffed Mushrooms, Parmesan
- [One-Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta](https://nevernothungry.com/one-pot-garlic-parmesan-pasta/) - Say hello to the easiest pasta EVER. This is basically the lazy man’s version of fettuccine alfredo, where everything is poured into and cooked in, wait for it…one pot. Just in case you missed that in the title. This is so garlicky and creamy, which are basically my two favorite things in the world. Do
- [Shiitake Peanut Noodles](https://nevernothungry.com/shiitake-peanut-noodles/) - This is the vegetarian cousin to my most favorite, most beloved Sesame Chicken Noodles...but this one has MUSHROOMS! And PEANUT SAUCE! Just look at that picture. There's not a chance that this could be bad. Make this vegan by omitting the egg noodles and substituting with a vegan variety of Asian noodles.
- [Raspberry-White Chocolate Scones](https://nevernothungry.com/raspberry-white-chocolate-scones/) - I have a thing for scones, okay?! Let's have a thing for scones together. Just make these for breakfast tomorrow.
- [Caramelized Cauliflower](https://nevernothungry.com/caramelized-cauliflower/) - This is an absurdly easy but insanely delicious vegetable side dish. My uncle made roasted cauliflower that was brown and caramelized with crunchy, almost burnt bits here and there (my favorite part) from the high heat and long cooking time. You are going to cook this way past where you think you should…don’t be scared!
- [Prosciutto-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breasts](https://nevernothungry.com/prosciutto-wrapped-stuffed-chicken-breasts/) - This recipe comes from Chrissy Teigen’s fantastic cookbook, Cravings. I spent a month cooking from her cookbook because every recipe just looked soooo good. I’ve adjusted the amounts for the filling because I like it a little gooier and bacony-er. Lemons have a way of ending up in about 75% of my food and I
- [Shaking Beef](https://nevernothungry.com/shaking-beef/) - This is the signature dish from The Slanted Door, a modern and trendy Vietnamese restaurant in the Ferry Building in San Francisco. I ate there on a trip last year and was so impressed by the food. I’m pretty sure we ordered half the menu between two people, but there were so many mouthwatering items
- [Lemon-Blueberry Biscuits](https://nevernothungry.com/lemon-blueberry-biscuits/) - There is a restaurant chain Bojangles that is ubiquitous in South; I MUST seek one out any time I cross the Mason-Dixon line. The chain has a sweet buttermilk biscuit called the Bo-Berry, and when I found a recipe for Blueberry Biscuits that referenced these on Food52, I knew I had to try them. I
- [Frisée aux Lardons](https://nevernothungry.com/frisee-aux-lardons/) - This salad is a French classic and is shockingly light, considering it contains both bacon and eggs. The sharp vinaigrette and slightly bitter friseé cut through the richness of the bacon and poached eggs. I have to admit: those poached eggs gave me a fit! I was seriously doubting my cooking abilities, threw out two
- [Pan-Broiled Ribeye](https://nevernothungry.com/pan-broiled-ribeye/) - Okay so it’s probably obvious that this is not a cheap or light dish. This is decadence in its purest form…a thick slice of meat on the bone, golden brown from the broiler and bathed in a garlicky butter. Make this for a special occasion. Ribeye is by far my favorite cut of steak because
- [Pizza with Chorizo, Jalapeños, Corn and Garlic Cream](https://nevernothungry.com/pizza-with-chorizo-jalapenos-corn-and-garlic-cream/) - Here’s my free advertisement for Baking Steel: buy one. It will change your pizza-making life. It is a large (or small) piece of steel that gets incredibly hot when properly preheated and makes pizzas and breads of your dreams…like professional quality. It’s very hard to replicate the action of a commercial or pizza oven, but
- [Lemon-Almond Breakfast Tart](https://nevernothungry.com/lemon-almond-breakfast-tart/) - This recipe comes from cookbook author extraordinaire Mark Bittman (you should check out his books) and is a tart in the loosest sense of the word-it’s baked in a skillet and has no crust or filling, so to speak. It’s a rich, almondy batter that forms its own crust when cooked, more reminiscent of a
- [Margherita Pizza](https://nevernothungry.com/margherita-pizza/) - This is your classic Neapolitan Margherita pizza…so simply, but when the flavors are balanced correctly, it is truly your perfect pizza. This is the time to break out all the big guns: good homemade dough, homemade pizza sauce with San Marzano tomatoes, and the best-quality fresh mozzarella you can find. True Margherita pizza with made
- [Smoky Sprouts Pizza](https://nevernothungry.com/smoky-sprouts-pizza/) - Happy Pi Day! It’s (pizza) pi(e) week for me! I promise to branch out next week and give you a variety of recipes…but this week, we celebrate pizza! This is a veggie-packed pizza with the smoky flavors of both smoked mozzarella and bacon. Can I let you in a little pizza secret? Don’t put too
- [Arugula Pizza with Speck](https://nevernothungry.com/arugula-pizza-with-speck/) - Speck is smoked prosciutto, so you can absolutely substitute prosciutto for a slightly different flavor. I highly recommend any La Quercia pork product as the extremely high quality, consistent and authentic and, as a plus, it’s made in Iowa! This is the quickest pizza to put together if you have some dough and sauce waiting
- [BLT with Lemon-Rosemary Mayonnaise](https://nevernothungry.com/blt-with-lemon-rosemary-mayonnaise/) - One of the first things I want to make when good tomatoes start to come back into season is a BLT…what’s not to love?! A fine BLT is a piece of art…when all the elements are perfectly balanced, no ingredient overtaking the others and the sandwich doesn’t fall apart when you’re eating it (a common
- [New Orleans BBQ Shrimp](https://nevernothungry.com/new-orleans-bbq-shrimp/) - Sadly, I have never been to New Orleans, but I imagine they wouldn’t hate me there for this one, even if it’s not authentic. Oddly enough, the best shrimp I’ve ever eaten is from a restaurant in Iowa City, Iowa called The Atlas; they have a Voodoo Shrimp appetizer on their menu that I MUST
- [Heirloom Tomato Salad with Burrata, Arugula and Crispy Prosciutto](https://nevernothungry.com/heirloom-tomato-salad-with-burrata-arugula-and-crispy-prosciutto/) - It’s tomatoes all day every day for me. I have been known to regularly make a meal of tomatoes, greens and cheese. This is a kicked-up version of a caprese salad with the tomatoes as the star; it can be a simple dinner or an elegant starter salad for your guests! Last week, I made
- [Asparagus Tart with Burrata, Basil and Lemon Mascarpone](https://nevernothungry.com/asparagus-tart-with-burrata-basil-and-lemon-mascarpone/) - Spring is coming…spring is coming…this is what I have been telling myself all winter and I’m finally feeling it! Asparagus is everywhere and cheap, green is popping up everywhere and my dogs actually want to be outside. Puff pastry is the secret to an easy and elegant tart, and you can really change up the
- [Chicken Lettuce Wraps](https://nevernothungry.com/chicken-lettuce-wraps/) - I love this recipe so much it hurts. It’s healthy, easy, gluten-free (if you use Tamari soy sauce), hearty and so flavorful. See that picture up there…I ate that whole plate for dinner and did not feel one bit guilty about it. I came from an all-white meat family; dark meat was NEVER served
- [Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies](https://nevernothungry.com/salted-chocolate-chip-cookies/) - THIS IS THE ONLY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE YOU WILL EVER NEED. A bold statement, I’m aware, but try them and shoot me an e-mail or comment to tell me I was right! I used a chocolate chip cookie recipe from the New York Times as a starting point, subbing turbinado sugar for some of
- [Short Rib Beef Stroganoff with Creme Fraiche and Caramelized Shallots](https://nevernothungry.com/short-rib-beef-stroganoff-with-creme-fraiche-and-caramelized-shallots/) - My mom was visiting this weekend and we went to a local restaurant, where I spotted a short rib stroganoff on the menu…I refrained from ordering it on the first visit, but we ended up going back the next day and I slid in a to-go order for later, when I knew I would be
- [Bagel Dip with Everything Bread Dippers](https://nevernothungry.com/bagel-dip-with-everything-bread-dippers/) - This is the most addictive dip, especially if you’re a dip-lover like me. It’s my go-to, quick recipe for any occasion that calls for a dip (so any occasion, ever)…either someone else better bring it or I will! I cannot stop eating this. Don’t mind me hovering over this at a potluck, or sneaking into
- [Yorkshire Pudding](https://nevernothungry.com/yorkshire-pudding/) - This is THE BEST accompaniment to a prime rib dinner. Okay, fine…horseradish sauce is first, but this should be on your table right alongside this. If you’re ever in San Francisco, check out the House of Prime Rib if you can get a reservation. That place may make you a believer, if I can’t. Please
- [Truffled Pasta with Chicken](https://nevernothungry.com/truffled-pasta-with-chicken/) - If I see anything with mushrooms on a menu, I have no need to look any further. I WILL ALWAYS ORDER THE DISH WITH MUSHROOMS. This is a riff on an Ina Garten recipe for Fettucine with White Truffle Butter and Mushrooms that I’ve been drooling over and I just happened to have everything for
- [Christmas Eve Chicken Pie](https://nevernothungry.com/christmas-eve-chicken-pie/) - Chicken pie is one of my favorite traditions. I knew all about chicken pot pie (ugh), was introduced to (just) chicken pie a few years ago when I began attending Christmas Eve dinner at my brother’s girlfriend’s family’s house (lots of possessives there). Her family is from North Carolina, where immigrants from Moravia settled and
- [Melt-In-Your-Mouth Sugar Cookies](https://nevernothungry.com/melt-in-your-mouth-sugar-cookies/) - The basic recipe for these sugar cookies came from one of my mom’s old church lady cookbooks. I grew up eating these, so there’s a bit of nostalgia attached to these cookies. They bake up so crisp and flavorful, and really melt in your mouth.
- [Fontina Grilled Cheese](https://nevernothungry.com/fontina-grilled-cheese/) - It’s a cold day here and nothing sounded better than a melty, gooey sandwich with some hot tomato soup. This sandwich is a re-creation of one of my favorite sandwiches from a well-known nationwide café that also makes bread (can you figure it out?). It was removed from the menu long-ago, but every time I
- [Korean Short Ribs](https://nevernothungry.com/korean-short-ribs/) - I have a slight obsession with short ribs in any form, but Korean short ribs might be one of my favorites. I first had these at a football tailgate, when my mom’s half-Korean friend brought them, using his mom’s recipe. I’ve begged for the recipe for years, and all I’ve gotten was a list of
- [Creamy Coconut Rice](https://nevernothungry.com/creamy-coconut-rice/) - I have a confession: rice is not my favorite thing. Fried rice is about the only exception I make…until now. This is the rice of your coconut dreams! Make this immediately.
- [Toffee-Butterscotch Scones](https://nevernothungry.com/toffee-butterscotch-scones/) - This is by far the best scone recipe I’ve ever tried! I gave a few to my neighbor after he mowed my law and he told me there were the best scones he’s ever had, so I have proof. And they’re a snap to make! Substitute with whatever mix-ins you like, or cut these in
- [Mozzarella en Carozza](https://nevernothungry.com/mozzarella-en-carozza/) - In Italian, mozzarella en carozza means mozzarella in a carriage. This sandwich is basically the baby of grilled cheese and French toast. I know it sounds weird to fry a grilled cheese, but remember, the temperature of the oil is the key to frying, and having the oil at the proper temperature significantly reduces the
- [Caramelized Brown Butter Rice Krispies Treats](https://nevernothungry.com/caramelized-brown-butter-rice-krispies-treats/) - This has an absolutely obscene, almost embarrassing amount of butter. These are so rich that you really can only eat just one, so this will serve a crowd. I love Rice Krispies that are soft and gooey long after they cool, and these are just that. For an extra-rich treat, go ahead and add a
- [Coconut-White Chocolate Scones](https://nevernothungry.com/coconut-white-chocolate-scones/) - I had a disastrous experience trying to perfect some strawberry muffins for y’all and I needed some reassurance that I wasn’t a total failure at baking so I whipped up some of these scones. These come from the fabulous blog, What’s Gaby Cooking. I follow her on social media and watched her snap some delicious
- [Burrata with Pickled Cherry Peppers and Tomatoes](https://nevernothungry.com/burrata-with-pickled-cherry-peppers-and-tomatoes/) - Hey friends, I know I've been absent for a bit. Life got ahold of me and wouldn't let go. But what better way to get back into it than with... Burrata…oh how I love thee. My life was forever changed when I had my first taste of this creamy masterpiece of a cheese. I remember
- [Ratatouille with Goat Cheese and Basil Pistou](https://nevernothungry.com/ratatouille-with-goat-cheese-and-basil-pistou/) - This dish probably won’t grab your attention right away, but it should. Tender vegetables, topped with tangy goat cheese and silky basil pistou will have the Francophile in you screaming for joy! I first had this at a restaurant when someone else ordered it (because GASP! This would not grab my attention on a menu)
- [Mascarpone Brownies](https://nevernothungry.com/mascarpone-brownies/) - Okay so it probably goes without saying that ANYTHING with mascarpone as an ingredient is going to be good, but these…these are something else. These are the most moist, rich brownies I’ve ever had. Basically, this is brownie fudge. These probably don’t need frosting, but we’ve already thrown caution to the wind so go ahead
- [Cheesy Stuffed Mini Potatoes](https://nevernothungry.com/cheesy-stuffed-mini-potatoes/) - These are a fun spin on your classic baked potato. You can make your mashed potato filling any way you prefer; if you want to make a more refined version, substitute heavy cream for the buttermilk. If you really want to go all out, use a delicious, runny triple crème-style cheese, such as Mt. Tam,
- [Shrimp Burgers with Herb Mayonnaise and Green Salad](https://nevernothungry.com/shrimp-burgers-with-herb-mayonnaise-and-green-salad/) - Okay so just to prep you: you are going to be making your own mayonnaise on this one. I guess you could use store-bought, and mix in some fresh herbs, but let’s just assume you’re going to make your own. Never done it before? That’s okay, I was a newbie once too and it
- [Crab Omelet with Mascarpone, Fennel, Leeks and Old Bay Hollandaise](https://nevernothungry.com/crab-omelet-with-mascarpone-fennel-leeks-and-old-bay-hollandaise/) - Omelets and I used to be arch-enemies. I just couldn't figure out how to make them without throwing in the spatula and turning them into scrambled eggs to salvage the meal. It's always been one of those "mom things" that only moms seemed to be able to do...mine included. But I just kept trying and
- [Queso Fundido](https://nevernothungry.com/queso-fundido/) - A welcome addition for your next Taco Tuesday at home! This is an oh-so ooey-gooey, cheesy (a pound, if we’re getting specific), spicy dip to serve at your next football party or Mexican fiesta…or for dinner to eat all by yourself. Don’t worry, I barely made a dent in it because it serves a ton.
- [Croque Monsieur](https://nevernothungry.com/croque-monsieur/) - I spent the majority of my life convinced I didn’t like ham, until I actually tasted ham and decided that I had been missing out of this delicious, salty pork for my whole life. This is an easy gateway recipe for converting a so-called ham hater to a lover, because it’s covered in cheese and
- [Chinese Chicken Salad](https://nevernothungry.com/chinese-chicken-salad/) - To say I'm obsessed with any salad is saying a lot: to say I'm obsessed with THIS salad should tell you everything you need to know to convince you to make it ASAP. There's something so messy and unkempt about this salad, different than those beautiful composed salads you see everywhere, but that's okay because
- [The Famous Baked Brownies](https://nevernothungry.com/the-famous-baked-brownies/) - I could look at these all day. I'm going to make you look at them too. They're just so fudge, and crackly, and beautiful. You know that feeling when you just KNOW you're in the presence of perfection? And it's a marvel to behold? That's how I feel about these brownies. The recipe comes from
- [Sweet and Buttery Green Beans](https://nevernothungry.com/sweet-buttery-green-beans/) - When’s the last time I told you how much I love Chrissy Teigen’s Cravings cookbook? I think it’s been a few hours, so I’ll tell you again. This is probably my favorite cookbook out of my (ahem! thousand) cookbooks.

- [Quick-Pickled Red Onions](https://nevernothungry.com/quick-pickled-red-onions/) - Guys, my website was down for almost 36 hours and I've never known such fear. It felt like my dog was sick and I didn't know if he/she would get better. We're all good now, and I've been waiting all week to be able to share these with you! Pickled red onions are a refrigerator
- [Korean Pork Tacos with Kimchi Slaw and Mirin Crema](https://nevernothungry.com/korean-pork-tacos-with-kimchi-slaw-and-mirin-crema/) - Here's your recipe for Taco Tuesday tomorrow! A little sweet, a little spicy and a lot funky, these tacos are a mash-up between Korean and Mexican food. I got the idea for these after seeing them in a Williams-Sonoma catalog as a use for their Korean braising liquid. Knowing I could make an imitation of
- [Rhubarb Custard Cake](https://nevernothungry.com/rhubarb-custard-cake/) - This cake is my final goodbye to rhubarb for the season. I hope you can still find some to make this recipe because it's such a perfect showcase of rhubarb. This is a stand mixer-free wonder: you just need a couple bowls and you're set. The lemony cake batter complements the tart rhubarb perfectly. I
- [Strawberry-Rhubarb Jam with a Touch of Liqueur](https://nevernothungry.com/strawberry-rhubarb-jam-with-a-touch-of-liqueur/) - I know, I know...rhubarb season is basically over. I have a backyard connection for rhubarb and I just machete'd it down last week. As a food blogger, getting you recipes quickly enough to use and eat what's in season is sometimes the hardest part. I'm working on getting better at this! Anyway, back to this
- [Carrot and Ricotta Tart](https://nevernothungry.com/carrot-and-ricotta-tart/) - This is a carrot recipe to convert all the carrot haters or apathists. Here's a random something-something about me: I don't like cooked carrots...love raw carrots, especially as dippers (because dip, duh), but mushy, flavorless, unseasoned cooked carrots send chills through my spine. This tart is NOT that. I was perusing Instagram one day and
- [Spicy Roasted Broccoli with Lemony Goat Cheese Drizzle](https://nevernothungry.com/spicy-roasted-broccoli-with-lemony-goat-cheese-drizzle/) - This recipe surprised the hell out of me. Yes, I love broccoli, I love goat cheese, I love lemon, I love spice and I love roasting everything, but to have it all come together? It was soooo much better than I expected. And I already expected it to be good. I served this when a
- [Scotcheroos](https://nevernothungry.com/scotcheroos/) - Let's start our day (and week) with some dessert! Scotcheroos are basically sugary-sweet Rice Krispies treats (sans marshmallows) that got hit with a jar of peanut butter and a layer of chocolate and butterscotch. Less ooey-gooey, more soft and chewy, these are addictive! I can and will eat a huge piece of these, enough to
- [Warm Chicken and Frisée Salad with Bacon Fat Vinaigrette and Crispy Chicken Skin Garnish](https://nevernothungry.com/warm-chicken-and-frisee-salad-with-bacon-fat-vinaigrette-and-chicken-skin-garnish/) - This salad is a full meal all-in-one, which is definitely how I prefer to eat my salads. If I'm gonna do it, I want a super-satisfying, hearty salad full of flavor. Give that sad side salad to the next person. This definitely hits all my requirements: slightly bitter frisée, juicy roasted chicken, bacon with an
- [Browned Butter Banana Bread with Vanilla Bean Butter](https://nevernothungry.com/browned-butter-banana-bread-with-vanilla-bean-butter/) - Browned Butter Banana Bread with Vanilla Bean Butter...that is a tongue-twister, isn't it?! This is the best banana bread creation I've ever tasted. Browned butter should be considered a precious metal or something. How did we live so much of our lives not knowing how delicious it is? This is not a light
- [Spicy Cheddar Cheese Straws](https://nevernothungry.com/spicy-cheddar-cheese-straws/) - Spicy cheddar cheese straws are a perfect appetizer, garnish for a salad or dipper for soup. Don't believe me? Just look at my post from yesterday! Store-bought puff pastry, layered with paprika and spicy cayenne, and stuffed with as much cheddar cheese as they can hold. Plus salty Parmesan because more cheese is better. I've

BBQ chicken quesadillas take all the traditional flavors from the BBQ chicken pizza we're used to, and stuff them into a quesadilla: roasted chicken breast basted with BBQ butter, store-bought BBQ

Mini sweet bell peppers stuffed with a spicy, cheesy, bacon-y filling and topped with chopped tomatoes, cilantro and lime are perfect for a quick pop-in-your-mouth, no-utensils-needed appetizer. Substitute with jalapeños if you like it spicy. My aunt made these years ago for a 4th of
- [Frisée aux Lardons à la Breakfast Sandwich](https://nevernothungry.com/frisee-aux-lardons-a-la-breakfast-sandwich/) - Okay, so I love a oozing, drippy breakfast sandwich. 100% totally, hand it over. But sometimes, I don't love how greasy they are and how heavy my body feels afterwards. I also love a Frisée aux Lardons salad; the quintessential French bistro salad with bacon, a super sharp, warm vinaigrette made out of the bacon
- [One-Bowl Chocolate Cake with Whipped Milk Chocolate Frosting](https://nevernothungry.com/one-bowl-chocolate-cake-with-whipped-milk-chocolate-frosting/) - This chocolate cake is fantastic. So rich, moist and chocolate-y. And the frosting! A buttercream frosting whipped with milk chocolate and a little heavy cream to give you that whipped cream vibe. I can't even speak in full sentences. The cake stays moist from the buttermilk, yogurt and oil in the recipe. I'm a butter-lover
- [Green Bean Bundles with Bacon](https://nevernothungry.com/green-bean-bundles-with-bacon/) - For a decadent side dish, look no further! Green beans wrapped in crisp bacon and covered in a butter and brown sugar glaze. My brother's fiancé used to make these on the regular and I loved them. She didn't have an exact recipe, just "add some brown sugar and butter to a pan and mix
- [Meyer Lemon Chicken](https://nevernothungry.com/meyer-lemon-chicken/) - Guys! I found Meyer lemons at the store the other day! I get so excited when Meyer lemons show up every year.

- [Cinnamon Scone Bread](https://nevernothungry.com/cinnamon-scone-bread/) - This bread offers the best of everything in a baked good: well-spiced with fragrant cinnamon, crispy ends, soft and tender middles, and a crunchy sugar topping. My love of scones is well-published on this site. It all started with the cinnamon crunch scones from Panera; I used to be obsessed! Until they started putting that
- [Sheet Pan Harissa Chicken with Potatoes, Leeks and Yogurt](https://nevernothungry.com/sheet-pan-harissa-chicken-with-potatoes-leeks-and-yogurt/) - Sheet pan dinners were all the rage over the last few years and for good reason: a whole meal comes together using one pan and cooks at the same time with little effort from the cook. This recipe amps up traditional roast chicken by marinating it in buttermilk and spicy harissa (homemade or store-bought, it's up
- [Harissa](https://nevernothungry.com/harissa/) - For those who like a little spice, this is a great condiment to have in your refrigerator to add a little umph to whatever you're making. Harissa is a North African chile pepper and spice paste that shows up frequently in many recipes from that region of the world. I almost always find different ingredients
- [Arugula with Parmesan and Lemon Dressing](https://nevernothungry.com/arugula-with-parmesan-and-lemon-dressing/) - This is a basic, clean salad that pairs well with JUST ABOUT ANYTHING. Do you have a couple lemons floating around your fridge? Most likely. Is there a knob of Parmesan in your cheese drawer? Always. Do you have any salad greens? You probably do. A flavorful lemon vinaigrette, Parmesan shavings and arugula combine
- [Blackberry-Hazelnut Sticky Buns](https://nevernothungry.com/blackberry-hazelnut-sticky-buns/) - Pillowy-soft sweet rolls dripping with plum-colored blackberry caramel and toasted hazelnuts should definitely be making an appearance on your breakfast table ASAP. Sweet buns of any kind have my name written all over them. Cinnamon rolls, pecan sticky buns, sugar-dusted morning buns...I'm down with all of them. I've made homemade rolls a few times with
- [Roasted Broccoli with Parmesan, Pine Nuts and Lemon](https://nevernothungry.com/roasted-broccoli-with-parmesan-pine-nuts-and-lemon/) - This recipe is a study in how truly fantastic well-paired simple ingredients can be. Caramelized broccoli with rich toasted pine nuts, salty Parmesan and bright lemon and basil combine to be some of the best broccoli I've ever had. Vegetables can be exciting! This recipe comes from one of the major food players in my
- [Pizza Chicken](https://nevernothungry.com/pizza-chicken/) - AKA skillet-roasted chicken with pancetta, fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes cooked down into a thick sauce and fresh basil leaves scattered over top. But pizza is my favorite and I get to name stuff around here so that's what we're calling it. This is a Melissa Clark recipe (um, only the amazing NYT food contributor and
- [Atlantic Beach Pie](https://nevernothungry.com/atlantic-beach-pie/) - A cross between lemon meringue and key lime pies, this salty beauty combines a saltine cracker crust with a lemon-lime custard filling and topped with heaps of whipped cream. And a sprinkle of flaky sea salt because the Atlantic is salty and it just makes sense. Tradition has it that this pie originated from North
- [Blueberry-Corn Muffins with Maple Butter](https://nevernothungry.com/blueberry-corn-muffins-with-maple-butter/) - Here's a muffin recipe for your weekend breakfast line-up! Tender, moist blueberry-corn muffins served warm with maple butter. Is it weird that I used to hate blueberries? Don't ask me why because I have no memories of what might have caused it, but I spent most of my life telling myself that I didn't like
- [Gruyere and Thyme Cheese Straws](https://nevernothungry.com/gruyere-and-thyme-cheese-straws/) - Cheesy, herby, crispy Gruyere and thyme cheese straws for the win! Store-bought puff pastry transforms into a perfect appetizer with a glass of wine or beer or a cocktail or any drink you want, OR EVEN BETTER, a perfect dipper for a bowl of soup. Yes, please. These can be a bit tricky to make:
- [Salted Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies](https://nevernothungry.com/salted-tahini-chocolate-chip-cookies/) - These cookies are perfect. They are nutty from tahini and whole-wheat flour, chock full of chocolate and crisp-soft, or if you prefer, soft-crisp. Either way, you will fall in love. The dough is almost as good as the baked cookies, so if you're the raw egg-type, make sure to generously sample the dough. These are
- [Chicken Satay with Coconut-Peanut Sauce](https://nevernothungry.com/chicken-satay-with-coconut-peanut-sauce/) - Tender chicken skewers marinated in all the spices with creamy coconut-peanut sauce for dipping. Marinating the chicken in yogurt both tenderizes and injects the meat with all the spices, so you get a juicy, flavorful piece of meat every time. Fold the chicken into lettuce wraps for an equally delicious variation. And oh my, this
- [Focaccia with Burrata, Prosciutto, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Arugula](https://nevernothungry.com/focaccia-with-burrata-prosciutto-sun-dried-tomatoes-and-arugula/) - Here's the perfect one-and-done meal-or a great accompaniment to a light entree. This is like a very doughy but still light pizza because sometimes we still want pizza but not drowned in sauce, cheese and pepperoni. Salty prosciutto, sweet and intense sun-dried tomatoes, and creamy burrata pair up on focaccia and are topped with a
- [Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms](https://nevernothungry.com/sausage-stuffed-mushrooms/) - Tender mushrooms stuffed with a wine-y sausage-mascarpone mixture. And cheese! Plenty of cheese for us dairy-fiends. Warn your tastebuds because it's a given that you will eat a molten hot mushroom straight out of the oven and burn your mouth off. I'm sorry, but it's just gonna happen. I almost always order stuffed mushrooms at
- [Blueberry Cheesecake French Toast Bake](https://nevernothungry.com/blueberry-cheesecake-french-toast-bake/) - This Blueberry Cheesecake French Toast Bake will satisfy all of your breakfast needs and wants in one dish: part bread pudding, part French toast, 100% delicious and feeds a crowd! Buttery and rich challah bread soaked in a lemony custard, flecked with juicy blueberries and the pièce de résistance: a hidden cheesecake layer! Oh and
- [Raspberry-Ricotta Cake](https://nevernothungry.com/raspberry-ricotta-cake/) - Oh my gosh, friends...this raspberry-ricotta cake is SO SO SO GOOD. I made it three times in less than 2 weeks. Partly because it was amazing but also because I was trying to force this pretty pink glaze on it, but it just didn't feel (or look) right, so I finally submitted and accepted this cake
- [Homemade Ricotta Cheese](https://nevernothungry.com/homemade-ricotta-cheese/) - Homemade ricotta is shockingly easy to make and far superior to the gritty, bland store-bought ricotta that sends chills down my spine (and made me think I hated ricotta for most of my life!). Just make sure to use cream and milk that is not ultra-pasteurized, which is heated to a very high temperature to
- [Chicken Paillard with Brie, Prosciutto and Arugula](https://nevernothungry.com/chicken-paillard-with-brie-prosciutto-and-arugula/) - This is one of my very favorite quick meals to make...pan-fried chicken cutlets topped with salty prosciutto, creamy brie and a peppery arugula salad with a Dijon vinaigrette. It's essentially a deconstructed chicken cordon bleu without all the messy and annoying chicken pounding, stuffing and rolling and without losing half your filling during the baking
- [Tomato Sauce with Butter, Onion and Garlic](https://nevernothungry.com/tomato-sauce-with-butter-onion-and-garlic/) - This is the sauce that makes me literally stand over the pot, eating spoonfuls as it cooks (and barely tasting it because it is so hot, but it's such a sweet burn). You need to make this because we're going to make some meatballs on Wednesday and they must be paired with this sauce. No
- [French Toast with Maple Butter and Whipped Vanilla Bean Mascarpone](https://nevernothungry.com/french-toast-with-maple-butter-and-whipped-vanilla-bean-mascarpone/) - This one was a beast to photograph, so I eventually just gave up because I couldn’t take the melting buttery, maple-y mascarpone mixture forming on the plate without sinking my fork into it. I don’t know how fancy food bloggers and photographers do it, but I eat my food within a few minutes of making
- [Beef Bourguignon](https://nevernothungry.com/beef-bourguignon/) - It's cold here in Iowa and it's the weekend, so that calls for a day in the warm kitchen, leisurely thumbing through cookbooks while a pot of beef stew simmers away. This is the most perfect version in my opinion; a classic French stew with bacon, mushrooms, red wine, hearty beef chuck, and delicious toasty
- [Honey Mustard-Ranch Chicken Sandwiches](https://nevernothungry.com/honey-mustard-ranch-chicken-sandwiches/) - Remember when I told you I would give you some recipes using those beautiful sesame buns so you will have a reason to make them? Here's one! This is a safe sandwich, taste-wise, for just about anyone. Honey mustard and ranch are two of the most popular dressings, so why not combine them into one
- [Meyer Lemon-Blueberry Buttermilk Scones with Browned Butter Lemon Glaze](https://nevernothungry.com/meyer-lemon-blueberry-scones-with-browned-butter-lemon-glaze/) - Forgive me, friends, for I have sinned. It's been exactly 43 days since I last shared a recipe for scones. That's 42 days too long! And Meyer lemons are still in season, so we gotta get 'em in while we can. I don’t know what it is about them, maybe it’s the moist, flaky pastry,
- [Spicy Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork](https://nevernothungry.com/spicy-dr-pepper-pulled-pork/) - Dr. Pepper is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE pop (soda, if you're fancy or not from the Midwest) so it was a natural progression for me to try this recipe. I saw this years ago on The Pioneer Woman's website and was intrigued by the combination of pop and chipotle peppers to create this sweet and spicy
- [Super Sesame Buns](https://nevernothungry.com/super-sesame-buns/) - Homemade sesame buns are SO WORTH IT. There is a massive difference between fresh, soft homemade hamburger buns and the who-knows-how-old-these-are, what-is-even-in-these buns from the bread aisle in the store. When these came out of the oven, I debated if tears were warranted. They were so golden-brown, eye-pleasingly round and beautiful. I used to be
- [Classic Spinach-Artichoke Dip](https://nevernothungry.com/classic-spinach-artichoke-dip/) - Do we all need another recipe for spinach-artichoke dip? I mean, c'mon...it's not new, trendy, or pretty-looking. The answer is YES. YES, WE DO. We can always use another recipe for this classic! My all-time favorite recipe is this Spicy Spinach-Artichoke Dip, but this is a close second with a slightly different flavor profile...and a
- [Graduation Coleslaw](https://nevernothungry.com/graduation-coleslaw/) - This coleslaw was aptly named after it was served at many a graduation party, several years running. Like buckets of this coleslaw. This is my favorite coleslaw around, and a lot of people agree. You may even convert a few haters to come over from the dark side! The best part of this is you
- [Poblano-Chipotle Chicken Dip](https://nevernothungry.com/poblano-chipotle-chicken-dip/) - We've talked about my love of dips before, right? I'm that person at any party that's hovering over the crockpot, dipping like I own it. (Let's just be honest...I'm actually always just hovering by all the food at parties.) I had a dip like this at a local restaurant and knew I had to come
- [Ham and Cheese Pastry](https://nevernothungry.com/ham-and-cheese-pastry/) - I'm going to give you a multi-tasker today. Continuing with our appetizer theme for the Super Bowl...I present to you this delicious take on a ham and cheese sandwich, which makes an easy appetizer for a crowd (or a dinner for a crowd-see below). There were so many hands coming in from all directions when
- [Caramelized Onion Dip](https://nevernothungry.com/caramelized-onion-dip/) - Let's start a countdown the the Super Bowl with some appetizer recipes for your Super Bowl party! You should definitely put this one on your menu-this is extremely rich and luscious, and that perfect sweet-salty combination you need for a day full of partying, friends and, likely, some (ahem) beverages. This is one of those
- [Cream Cheese Pie](https://nevernothungry.com/cream-cheese-pie/) - This is the cheater’s version of cheesecake, but equally delicious and so quick to make! And you don’t have to worry about those pesky water baths or long baking times. Make sure to plan ahead so you have enough time to chill the pie...but a quick chill in the freezer or even a slightly warm
- [Rosemary Chicken, Bacon and Avocado Salad with Spicy Roasted Garlic Dressing](https://nevernothungry.com/rosemary-chicken-bacon-and-avocado-salad-with-spicy-roasted-garlic-dressing/) - Anybody besides me love a dinner salad? Or is it salad dinner? I kept seeing this one pop up on the blog How Sweet Eats and the pictures alone sold me on this salad; never mind the bacon, chicken cooked in said bacon fat, and rich, creamy avocado. I wasn’t a huge fan of the
- [Palmiers](https://nevernothungry.com/palmiers/) - These might just be the most addictive cookies you ever make! Anybody else have a weird addiction to crispy things? A quick Internet search turned up articles like "Why Do Humans Crave Crispy Food?" and "Appeal of Crunchy Food-Why We Love Crispy Things?" so it must be real. These are so sugary, buttery, crispy, caramel-y
- [Pimento Grilled Cheese with Bacon and Jalapeños](https://nevernothungry.com/pimento-grilled-cheese-with-bacon-and-jalapenos/) - Who loves a good grilled cheese? This girl loves a good grilled cheese! If I've done my research, you probably do too. Who knew four ingredients would make such an addictive combination? You will want to make a big batch of pimento cheese to A) make this sandwich and B) just to have around to
- [Open-Faced Tuna Melt with Cheddar and Jalapeños](https://nevernothungry.com/open-faced-tuna-melt-with-cheddar-and-jalapenos/) - Looking back on my life, there are a few things I regret-number one just might be that I refused to eat tuna and, more importantly, TUNA MELTS for my entire life until just a few months ago. Sure, I would eat tuna at a sushi restaurant, but canned tuna? EWWWW, I'm just too good for
- [Balsamic Vinaigrette](https://nevernothungry.com/balsamic-vinaigrette/)
- [Browned Butter White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies](https://nevernothungry.com/browned-butter-white-chocolate-macadamia-nut-cookies/) - BROWNED BUTTER! WHITE CHOCOLATE! MACADAMIA NUTS! COOKIES! Plus add some more butter and cream cheese...for the softest, most melt-in-your-mouth cookies. Eat these warm for the full experience because...warm cookies, duh. One of my favorite desserts at a restaurant from my college days was warm mini white chocolate macadamia nut cookies served with chocolate fondue. These
