As you know, I’m a massive fan of any pizza recipe. While it’s not “authentic” by any means, BBQ chicken pizza is a classic fusion twist on pizza. My version is reminiscent of the CPK signature BBQ chicken pizza, with mozzarella, smoked gouda, red onion, cilantro, and, of course, saucy BBQ chicken.

When a pizza craving hits, I usually want something classic. And classic pizza for me means something meaty, cheesy and spicy. Enter my spicy Italian pie with mozzarella, ricotta, sweet Italian sausage and spicy pickled peppers for a perfect pizza pie bite.

I can’t think of a recipe to make to say “goodbye” to summer than these peach, pesto, and burrata flatbreads. We’re talking juicy peaches, savory pesto, creamy burrata, peppery arugula, a squeeze of lemon, and a drizzle of honey to make for the ultimate sweet/savory combination.

A quick sauté in a hot pan with good olive oil, salt and pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, then these babies are done and ready for snacking. I serve them up with my favorite, 3-ingredient sauce I’ve been whipping up for years. Mayo, Dijon and grated Parmesan create the perfect, creamy and tangy sauce for dipping.

I love the addition of peas in this creamy, herby and garlicky pasta for that burst of green color and nutrients, of course. But really, this recipe is all about the crispy prosciutto! An already perfectly tasty pesto pasta gets amped up to an 11 with crispy, salty, meat condiments on top.

These jammy and garlicky tomatoes would be good alone or spread on crusty bread, but of course we’re talking indulgence here with this recipe. Freshly chopped basil, creamy, dreamy burrata and garlicky crostini turn these perfect tomatoes into a show-stopping dish.

Perfect for entertaining and making an impressive pizza statement, these white pizzas feature a garlic and herb pizza crust, “good” olive oil, shredded mozzarella and creamy goat cheese for a pizza base that would honestly be perfect as is. But my favorite part of this pizza is the topping of a simple, lemon, olive oil and sea salt dressed arugula salad.

All combined, this melty, cheesy sandwich makes for a toasty, crunchy grilled cheese that’s reminiscent of a classic Margherita pizza. It’s simple yet elevated and sure to satisfy your grilled cheese cravings.

Quesabirria tacos are so hot right now! The Instant Pot is not only key to making the most succulent, flavorful beef you’ve ever tasted, but the consommé or leftover braising liquid for taco dunking.

Unlike making risotto on the stovetop that requires ladling in broth, stirring and repeating for 30 minutes to an hour until the perfect risotto texture is developed, the Instant Pot does all of that labor for you. After a simple sauté of veggies and toasting of the rice, the Instant Pot works it’s magic in a matter of minutes.

This pizza is really all about the creamy gorgonzola sauce. If you’re into gorgonzola, you’ll adore the creamy, decadent gorgonzola-forward sauce that’s so good you’ll be tempted to eat it with a spoon. But if you’re not into gorgonzola? Trust me, this sauce is so incredibly chock full of garlic (10 cloves to be exact) and Parm, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how much you love it.

Introducing my take on the classic pimento cheese that makes for the absolute perfect party appetizer, game-day watching snack or anytime snack for that matter. The best part is this spread/dip literally comes together in a matter of minutes and requires less than a handful of ingredients.

A perfectly seasoned, medium rare flank steak sliced thin rests on a bed of garlicky vinaigrette dressed greens laced with toasted walnuts and topped with creamy, funky gorgonzola crumbles. These salads are perfect for keeping things a little lighter yet still indulgent.

Taking hints from Auntie Anne herself and then whipping up a quick yet delicious horseradish cream cheese for dipping these buttery, fluffy morsels in, these are the absolute perfect pairing for beer drinking!

his chili features bell pepper for peppery, sweetness, chipotle peppers for smoky, spiciness, a touch of brown sugar for a sweet, rich note and, finally, a touch of masa harina, corn flour, to thicken and subtle corn flavor.

My new favorite date night meal is these spicy sausage, spinach and ricotta calzones. If you’re a fan of pizzas and/or handheld food objects, then this easy yet insanely delicious recipe is for you!

This baked brie features a savory, herby sauté of onion, garlic, mushrooms and wine which is arguably the star of the show. Of course, the real star is the cheesy baked brie that’s accentuated by more cheesy, nutty, shredded Jarlsberg cheese wrapped in a buttery, flaky puff pastry.

My broccoli crunch naan pizzas are the perfect combination of savory, tangy, creamy and crunchy. Quick and easy to throw together, they make for one light yet hearty lunch on the fly - I just know you’ll be hooked!

Perfect for a lazy at-home brunch, these chorizo migas hit the spot and then some. Spicy, cheesy and hearty, they come together in a flash and taste like they came straight from Austin, TX.

If you are convinced that turkey burgers are equivalent to dried hockey pucks, then this recipe is here to convince you otherwise. The combination of grated zucchini, grated garlic, Dijon and panko make these juiciest, most moist turkey burgers you’ve ever had. No hockey pucks here!
