    This recipe is exactly what it sounds like!  Pizza dip (though I will say, a little bit more of a white pizza), surrounded by soft and chewy garlic knots!  Definitely turn up the garlic on those garlic knots too.  Sometimes if I’m feeling extra-garlicky I will add a few pinches of garlic powder and a few pinches of onion powder to the butter mix. My only concern about this recipe is that it’s not quite enough to share with a large party of people.  I wanted to make it for a hangout we’re doing this weekend with around 20 people, but with only…

  • hello fresh: juicy lucy burger;

    March 30, 2016bestwithchocolate@gmail.com

    So coming back from Iceland, I decided to do another round of hello fresh so that I wouldn’t be worried about grocery shopping and cooking and all that jazz when we were back.  The first recipe we tried was a Dijon pork meal, that was satisfactory and I might post it at some point, but this juicy Lucy burger is definitely on my to-make-again list!

The one thing to do next time to make it look even better would be to make the ring a little smaller so that there isn’t quite as large of a hole in the middle.  I think that would make…

    This was actually the first time that I’ve made risotto on my own!  This was my last roommate’s go-to recipe when she wanted to cook, and let me tell you, it’s amazing.  It does take a little bit of a time investment, but some of my favorite memories from when we lived together were us chatting in the kitchen over a pot of risotto.  We also usually had glasses of wine in our hands.  I mean you need wine for the recipe, so obviously the natural extension was to sip on a glass!  I definitely recommend that; maybe I should add…
