How was everyone’s Thanksgiving? This year, because of all of the wedding celebrations, my in-laws decided to have our family dinner at The Grand American Hotel in Salt Lake City! If you live around the area, I wholeheartedly recommend checking out their buffet! It was so nice to have a delicious and somewhat traditional Thanksgiving…
BBQ Chilaquiles
Do you guys ever have “aha” moments in the kitchen? I mean when you look at seemingly unrelated ingredients and somewhere within the depths of your subconscious, your mind makes a connection?

Indulgent French Toast
Today’s post is all about breakfast, French toast to be exact, and this one’s a keeper. It’s made just the way you’ve probably always made French toast, except for a few changes that make THIS recipe extra special. To start off, I used a fresh loaf of French bread with a really good crust. The…
