Cheesy Breakfast Burger #BrunchWeek

May 3, 2016 By Aly 9 Comments

You can have burgers for breakfast with this Cheesy Breakfast Burger. A light as a feather quiche “burger” is nestled among fresh veggies in a pillowy bun for the perfect morning bite.

This post was created in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. Please note that #BrunchWeek sponsors have provided product for recipe development. My opinion and adoration for #BrunchWeek sponsors is all my own.

Welcome to the fourth annual #BrunchWeek hosted by Terri from Love and Confections and Christie from A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures. We are so excited to have you join us this year as we celebrate Brunch and prepare for Mother’s Day. 37 Bloggers from around the country will showcase their best brunch dishes, from cocktails to cakes, breakfast breads, tarts, and quiche – there is something for everyone! Our amazing Sponsors have donated some great prizes for the #BrunchWeek giveaway. Thank you so much, Sponsors, for your generosity. We have an incredible giveaway below and we’d love if you would take a moment to read about it and what you can win!

It’s Day 2 of #BrunchWeek and I decided to celebrate not only #BrunchWeek but inspired by a burger I recently made, I decided to go big or go home and make an epic breakfast burger but with an eggy quiche “burger” instead of a beefy burger. I once saw a similar burger in a Hubert Keller cookbook so I decided to play with the idea and, like a lightbulb moment, the Cheesy Breakfast Burger was born….

Baja Chicken Chili – A Flavorful Bowl of Comfort

February 29, 2016 By Aly 5 Comments

Baja Chicken Chili tastes like it has been simmered for hours but comes together in 30 minutes. Southwestern flavors and spices meld with a hint of honey for the perfect chicken chili.

Disclosure: OXO sent tools to assist with this recipe. I was not compensated for this post and my love for this brand is all my own. In addition, this post may contain affiliate links to products I adore and trust in my kitchen. Thank you for supporting Cooking In Stilettos.

I have a recipe today that y’all are going to love that comes together in a flash – Baja Chicken Chili!

Whenever I am looking for a great idea for dinner, chili is one of those go-to recipes I can whip up on the fly. Whether it’s chili chock full of Italian sausage, a light turkey chili or even my favorite cornbread topped chili, I know dinner can come together in a flash and with the right spices, will taste amazing. Lately, I have been obsessed with various flavor combos and ingredients and when OXO asked us for a fabulous chili recipe that would come together zippy quick with their tools, I knew I’d want to do a Baja style chili packed with the flavors of ancho chili, fresh veggies and black beans and topped with melty cheese and a light avocado creama.

A Casually Chic Cinco De Mayo Menu And A Mexican Street Corn Salad Recipe #ZestyInADash

Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner and I have some fabulous recipes to get you in the spirit!

When I think of throwing together a casual soiree for just a few friends, either I look for a few tried and true recipes that one can make ahead or I let the slow cooker do the heavy lifting. I am not a fan of fussy recipes and prefer delicious bites that I know my friends will adore. When it comes to casual entertaining, I often find that my guests love food served either buffet or family style.

While planning this year’s Cinco de Mayo celebration, I wanted the menu to reflect some classic Mexican flavors along with a bit of spice and sass. As Cinco de Mayo falls midweek, I will be hosting a small soiree for a few but this menu is perfect to double for a crowd, make for a Cinco de Mayo dinner or a casual Girls Night In.
