Read MoreCheesy Tamale Sauce
I was cleaning out my freezer the other day when I found that my mom had stashed some tamales in there from Thanksgiving or Christmas. It’s hard to say which. Either way, I was trying to think of what to do with them outside of my usual go-to which is to serve them with a bowl of chili. Then I started to think about how they serve them at restaurants - which is generally as a main and not a side dish.
Enter this Cheesy Tamale Sauce! It’s easy. It’s cheesy. And you’re going to want to make it for your tamales from now on. You might think this sauce is something like enchilada sauce, but it’s actually very different. It starts out with a roux and builds from there with broth, a lot of seasonings, and finally cheese!…
Read MoreSkinny Creamy Jalapeño Ranch
This is another fun one that I absolutely had to update with some new pictures.
If you've ever been to Texas... you may have heard of a little place called Chuy's Mexican Restaurant. Mhn, the mere thought that place makes my mouth water. Seriously. They have some amazing Tex-mex. One of my most favorite things at Chuy's is their Creamy Jalapeño Ranch. It's something that they will serve along side chips, but... you have to ask for it! It's also used as a salad dressing option.
I've been trying for years now to find a recipe that's even remotely close to the infamous dip that Chuy's serves. There's a lot of options out there, but none of them can hold a candle to the original, especially when making any healthy substitutions…
Read MoreChicken Alfredo Monkey Bread
I’ve been playing around with savory versions of monkey bread a lot over the last year or so. There’s just something fun about monkey bread, maybe it’s the fact that it’s a finger food or maybe it’s that it’s just a really good base for just about any meal. Breakfast or otherwise. Being as I’ve made a Pizza Monkey Bread before, I thought why not try my hand at making an alfredo version.
This Chicken Alfredo Monkey Bread starts out as any monkey bread does - with dough! I used biscuit dough here and then tossed that together with a homemade cauliflower alfredo sauce, cooked chicken, and some cheese!
The end result was this perfectly baked ooey gooey chicken alfredo monkey bread that was as tasty as it was fun to eat! This would be great paired with a side salad, but I just served it as it since there’s already a lot of veggie goodness packed into the cauliflower alfredo sauce.
As an aside, you could really use any alfredo sauce you wanted, pre-made, homemade, etc. But, I’d suggest the homemade cauliflower version since it’s super easy to make and sneaks some veggies in there too!
