It's time to stuff some chicken, so roll your sleeves up and join me as I combine the most delicious ingredients in this fabulous dinner! Now, it doesn't take much to make crispy chicken, cheese, and salami mouth-wateringly amazing, but with a simple technique and some added pizzazz, this recipe's is tough to top. Hope you all get a kick out of it and go on to create it yourself! Enjoy!

Hello to all my Creme foodies! I’m headed to the lake house with some friends for the weekend and as I leave my family behind, I want to make sure they have some easy-peasy meals and food made ahead so they can just pop it in the oven! So, I decided to create an “on the fly” make ahead casserole, which is a spin on the “funeral potatoes” that I usually make as a quick meal. I, of course, usually add a great protein along with like chopped ham to make the perfectly delicious to-go meal! Hope you all enjoy the new take!

Wow, was this a good one... Today, I create my now and forever replacement for Pasta Alfredo... this cheesy, creamy sauce was so simple and yet SO rich in flavor. And to top it all off with toasted truffle breadcrumbs?? Absolutely to die for. But don't take my word for it... go grab a bottle of truffle oil and make it yourself!! Hope you all enjoy!!

We decided to cook up some scallops on the grill. To be honest, I had never grilled a scallop on a grill before— so I was careful not to overcook. Nobody likes a tough scallop! And speaking of tough-be sure to take the small “sucker” off the side of the scallop and pat dry. That little sucker is tough to eat! I then made up a quick Korean marinade and had them sit themselves in the fridge in a ziplock for a good 45-50 minutes. It worked perfectly. Nice and tender and the char from the grill was fantastic! I may not make scallops any other way! If you don’t like the extra heat from the crushed red chilies, you can certainly omit. But remember, the Korean Chili powder is mild, but oh how it brings so much flavor!

Memorial Day weekend was our first big vacation since summer break started and we finally got caught up on some much needed family time! Taking in the beautiful sights of the lake on our walks, having drinks out in front of the water, boating, tanning, and of course cooking! The vacationing didn't stop as soon as dinner had to be made, so I chose to create a fun and delicious smothered enchiladas recipe! With the help of my kids too, it simply added to the time we got to share all together in one place, which I will not soon forget! Hope you all had a great holiday weekend, and enjoy another amazing recipe!

Happy Holiday Saturday, everyone! I’m sure a lot of you have had kids move back home for the summer, just as I have. After a long year during the pandemic at SDSU in Brookings, it was time for two of my girls to move back home. Lots of visits at the lake house and extra FaceTime helped us get through the past school year and now, once again, we are all back in the same state!

Disregard what you saw in the first part of this video, okay? Today, for so many reasons other than completely failing on the first recipe, I'm making a tride and true Dreessen recipe! This is a dill dip so simple, yet so delicious, that it'll be hard to find any better. I'm not kidding! This recipe has been from family to family, event to event, and mouth after mouth. It's a hit every time! Although, when you combine cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise together in one of the best dips, how could it not be?? Hope you all enjoy!!

Long-time fans will know how much love I have for French cooking, and how far that love goes back (Thank you, Julia Child)… Which leads to today’s recipe, something I can’t even believe I haven’t shown you yet! My croque monsieur is absolutely to die for, and is really a recipe that I think everyone should have their hands on, so here you go! Delicious and simple béchamel, golden brown crusts and oozey cheesy topping… it really is the ultimate sandwich. Enjoy!!

The girls are BACK in the kitchen! We are so happy to have Ava join us once again and with her some amazing new recipes! This week, that includes this simple and decadent Tuscan Flat-Iron Grilled Steak with this rich and savory Italian Compound Butter to lather over the top. Fit with some grilled Italian loaf, this dish not only makes a great appetizer but is also filling enough for dinner for the family! No matter how you eat it, I'm sure you'll enjoy!The girls are BACK in the kitchen! We are so happy to have Ava join us once again and with her some amazing new recipes!

You guys. The next recipe I want to share with you is a product of long-time love and attention. I was looking to create the “perfect piccata”. My kids grew up calling it “sour chicken,” and rightfully so. The combination of fresh lemon and briny capers with a perfectly sautéed chicken breast can make someone sing to the heavens. Or, at least, ask for a second plate.

I love my one-dish recipes, especially with a cast iron, but this has to be near the top of my list. I mean, with potatoes, bacon, jalapeños, guacamole, and tortillas to top, how could you go wrong?? This dish is not only super easy, (one of the ingredients is store-bought guacamole!) it brings out the best in its simple yet dependable ingredients and makes an absolutely delicious dinner. I might just have to go make a plate with the leftovers... Hope you all enjoy!

Happy May to all my Creme foodies! This past week has been somewhat of a struggle, as my kitchen days have been a little slower because of a much needed knee surgery. While I am on the mend, that does not mean good food is still not a priority! And veggies always seem to find a way to my heart— especially Brussels. I can make these into a salad, a main dish, or roasted 100 ways. But one of my favorite ways has a nice little Asian “spin” on it with some white miso paste and fresh lemon. Delicious!

Join me in my latest video, concocting the greatest ingredients for a simple yet flavorful chopped Italian salad! Although anything topped with croutons and prosciutto is sure to please! Hope you all enjoy, and get your salad bowl and servers ready to toss!

Hello, once again! I hope you are all enjoying the weekend so far, and if you happen to be looking for a quick and SUPER easy snack, I have one for you right here! I was out with a friend for happy hour recently and we devoured a plate of their pretzel bites in minutes… I couldn’t believe how addictive they were! And it got me thinking…

In one of my best desserts yet, we're creating a delicious and decadent crostata, fit with the greatest flavors! Peach, blueberry, and a simple almond cream... pies all over the world are going to be jealous. Serve with ice cream on the side and be amazed!

Hello, once again, and happy Saturday! The weekend is here and so are cooler temperatures with lots of rainy drizzle. I actually love weather like this. And when there is weather like this, soup comes straight to my mind! But alas... I don’t want to have to go out to the store. (Weekends and grocery stores don’t vibe with me. Too many people) so what is there to do with what I already have?!? Hmmm… Beans. I stocked up recently on some lovely dried Italian Cannellini beans. Cannellini beans, known as “fagioli,” are popular in a lot of French and Italian dishes. They are super creamy and have almost a “nutty” flavor. The perfect star of a cozy little soup!

Do you know if you keep the right mayonnaise in your fridge? Well in this video, I'll let you know! And with the most amazing mayonnaise on hand, I use it for this decadent, cheesy, highly-addictive garlic bread! This isn't something you can pick up at your local pizza store... Watch how it's made and enjoy!!

Easter found us soaking in the sun in our lake house in South Dakota. It had to be a record for the nicest weather this early in the spring! Paired nicely with those gorgeous days by the water is nothing but this Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich. To DIE for! That toasted brioche bun, perfectly marinated, breaded, and fried chicken, and an easy slaw to top it all off... I'm just getting hungry all over again. Watch how to make this amazing fried chicken sandwich and enjoy!

With Easter just around the corner, I tried thinking of great new dishes to celebrate one of the most important holidays of the year (if not the most!), along with the turning of the spring season! Along with being the best Easter brunch dish— and I know I say it all the time— it’s SO easy! Just a few ingredients, a few dishes, and just an hour of your time, it’s sure to wow family and friends alike. So roll up your sleeves, get your eggs out, and I hope you all enjoy this beautiful meal!

Hi Creme foodies, and welcome back! I’ve got another great recipe for you that came together so quickly— it was amazing! Store-bought cheese tortellini is one of my favorite staples to keep in my fridge. It’s versatile and can be used for anything like soup, a quick pasta bake, and this creamy lemony garlicky chicken dish!
