RECIPES YOU NEED!

I know it’s rough trying to figure out what the hell to make during this quarantine! I mean...who is really counting calories these days right? The one thing you will learn about me is how obsessed I am with food and trying new recipes! I literally can spend hours looking through recipe books, Pinterest and Instagram trying to find the next best recipe I can cook/bake! I am so excited to finally share my finds with you! 

You can trust that every recipe I recommend I’ve actually tested, tried and approved. We all know there are a lot of really crappy recipes out there. The worst part is buying all the ingredients only to be completely disappointed in the end. Below are some of my ultimate faves from some of my favorite food bloggers that are necessary for you to try while in quarantine! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do and if you end up trying one of them let me know!!!

Baked Rigatoni with Butter Roasted Tomato Sauce by the Original Dish

The most delicious, easiest pasta bake you need in your life! The sauce is amazing!

Crockpot Spicy Chicken Tortilla Soup by Half Baked Harvest

This is a staple in my home! I make my sauce from scratch (not necessary) but don’t skip on the mango or making tortilla chips from scratch! I also use sour cream instead of yogurt! IF YOU USE CANNED ENCHILADA SAUCE YOU CAN SPRUCE UP THE FLAVOR BY ADDING CHICKEN BOUILLON! FOR MORE KICK ADD A SERRANO PEPPER AS WELL!

Brown Butter Caramelized Banana Bread by the Original Dish

This is one of the best banana bread recipes out there! It’s moist and so flavorful! That brown butter is life!

Best Queso Dip by Meatloaf and Mellowdrama

This cheese is one of my most sinful pleasures! You will never go back to the canned cheese again! You don’t need an instant pot for this! You can use your crockpot or do it on the stovetop! Don’t forget to crack open a ice cold beer to go with it! PRO TIP: ADD 4 OZ OF VELVEETA CHEESE AND A SERRANO PEPPER FOR MORE KICK! IF THE CHEESE SEEMS A LITTLE THICK ADD MORE CREAM UNTIL IT GETS TO THE CONSISTENCY YOU WANT!
