5 Cheese Mac

I’m not going to lie, I have never made macaroni and cheese from scratch until I spent this last Thanksgiving with a couple of my girlfriends and my life was changed forever.

I don’t know whether to call Monkey Bread breakfast or dessert, but I do remember looking forward to eating it at sleepovers growing up! It is definitely a treat that is big enough to be shared with the whole family or your coworkers.

Burgundy Vibes

Burgundy Vibes

Burgundy. Wine. Oxblood. Maroon. Ruby.

This rich, dark red that is traditionally only seen as a velvet-material, Fall and Winter color has broken any seasonal color barriers, showing a strong presence even though early Spring. Lipstick, handbags, apparel, shoes, and other accessories are still trending in this vivid hue in suede, matte and lighter fabrics. It’s a classic color, capable of pairing with almost anything!

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Buffalo Chicken Dip

I first experienced this sinfully delicious dish about two years ago when my friend made it for a football party. I was hooked from day one. I’m going to go ahead and warn you that whoever you make this for will probably eat the entire bowl and will want to make it on their own. It’s THAT good.

From clothes to shoes, nails to bags and even matte olive cars, this color is everywhere and if you haven’t joined the Olive Movement, the time is now!

Oven Roasted Steak

Oven Roasted Steak

Traditionally, I’ve always thought that making a steak at home meant that you had to use the grill.

Teppanyaki Vegetables

Onion and Zucchini in a Teriyaki Sauce

Who doesn’t love going to a Japanese-style Teppanyaki restaurant where the cook prepares the food right in front of you? One of my favorite dishes that they prepare is the Teppanyaki Vegetables! So delicious and easy to make right at home when you might not have enough time to go to one of these “by reservation” restaurants. This side pairs well with practically any kind of meat or fish! I love making more of this than I will eat in one sitting because it is delicious as leftovers and perfect for meal prepping.
