If you’re like me, you’re a big fan of the traditional Caesar Salad. Sometimes, though, it feels like it gets a bit overdone. So…I was on the hunt for a way to update this ever-popular salad so that it’s new again, while still maintaining that great Caesar Salad satisfaction. Hmmmmm. What to do? What to…
30-Minute Recipes
Start to finish in 30 minutes or less. Not "30 minutes if you already prepped everything" — actual 30 minutes, from opening the fridge to sitting down with a real meal. Because that's what most weeknights actually call for.
Tiny Kitchen Caesar Dressing
A great Caesar salad lives or dies by the dressing… and I say that as someone who spent years ordering Caesar salads at restaurants specifically to reverse-engineer what was going on in that bowl. The store-bought versions? They’re fine. They’re just not that. This dressing — my Tiny Kitchen Caesar Dressing — is creamy, zesty,…
Kansas City BBQ Dry Rub
If you’ve made my Instant Pot Brisket, you already know this rub. It’s the reason that brisket tastes the way it does — sweet, smoky, with just enough heat to keep things interesting. I’ve been using this Kansas City-style BBQ dry rub for years and I put it on everything: brisket, ribs, chicken thighs, even…

Chick-fil-A Inspired Orange Chicken
I have always been a huge Chick-fil-A fan! From the time I was a kid growing up in Houston, I used to love to go to the mall because Chick-fil-A would pass out samples of their amazing, perfectly crispy chicken. It was deliciously different! My folks and I would, of course, grab a sample on…
The 5-MinuteBack-to-School Breakfast Sandwich
School days, school days. Good ol’ golden rule days! It’s that time of year again, kids, whether you like it or not. My niece and nephew actually went back to school yesterday. Boy, they start school early here in Georgia!!! With the start of the school year comes a frantic rush in the morning to…
Chinese Chicken Salad
I am in love with this Chinese Chicken Salad. That was true the first time I had my first bite of my first Chinese Chicken Salad when I began waiting tables at Stanley’s Restaurant in Sherman Oaks. If you read my blog for the Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette, you know that the Chinese Chicken Salad that…
Homemade Honey White Balsamic Vinaigrette
When I have a really good salad dressing, I can’t get enough! It almost becomes an obsession…I seem to want it on every salad that I have for weeks on end. That was the reaction when I first started developing this amazing Honey White Balsamic Vinaigrette. Truth be told, it went through a few iterations…
Homemade Sesame Ginger Salad DressingA Great Asian-inspired Salad Dressing
This homemade Sesame Ginger salad dressing is the bomb! I absolutely love this Asian-style dressing. It all stems back to when I used to work at a restaurant called Stanley’s my first year in Los Angeles. It was a local’s joint just down the street the from where I used to live in Sherman Oaks….
Homemade Avocado Poppy Seed Salad Dressing
When I was a kid, I loved store-bought salad dressings and, admittedly, I was a bit of a dressing snob. Wish-Bone was the only brand I liked…Italian, Thousand Island and those two sugary red dressings, French and Russian, that I could never really figure out the difference. Thinking about it, they don’t really seem French…
Homemade Shallot Vinaigrette
Is it wrong that I consider myself a Salad Dressing Connoisseur? I know, it’s probably weird to be a self-proclaimed expert on Salad Dressing of all things. But, I don’t know if you’ve heard, my salad dressings are kinda a big deal. Haha! I’m totally kidding but, in all honesty, when people try them, I…
Tiny Kitchen Keto Month:Keto Almond-Crusted Fish
I always laugh thinking that a few short years ago I did not like fish….at all. Although, the funny thing really is that there are actually a lot of foods (and I mean a LOT of food) that I didn’t like growing up. Most of the food I didn’t like…was because I didn’t like them. …
