Colorado Buffalo Chili

This spicy chili recipe uses ground buffalo. To step up the heat, use different peppers and experiment with the seasonings. This gets even better if you let it sit overnight. The chili is so good you'll need to find another way to use up your cheese and crackers.

Nectarine Blush

I love making this drink in the summer with fresh nectarines. It is also really good made with fresh peaches. The buttermilk gives it a fresh and tangy flavor while the brown sugar disguises the fact you are using buttermilk!

Creamy Brie and Bacon Pasta

This creamy Brie and bacon pasta bring bacon, mushrooms, and sun-dried tomatoes together with pasta in a sauce that is no more than melted Brie and pasta water. The ingredients work harmoniously in a dish that you’ll be making time and time again.

Easy Bulgogi (Korean BBQ Beef)

Bulgogi, or Korean barbecued beef, is made with marinated sliced beef. Most recipes call for crushed pear to tenderize the meat. My boyfriend's Korean mother says Coca-Cola can also be used for the same purpose. This recipe uses very thinly-sliced sirloin steak, so tenderization isn't necessary. It's delicious served with rice, lettuce leaves, and chile paste or kimchi.

Chicken Andouille Gumbo

Sausage makes this very spicy. Can be prepared two days ahead.

Incredibly Cheesy Turkey Meatloaf
