I had the best time visiting Rock House Farm and Creamery with The Dairy Alliance last week. I learned a wealth of information about a real Georgia Dairy farm. They use traditional production methods, honoring the animals and the land. With minimal processing, Rock House’s products are as close to natural as it comes. They have 100% hands down the best chocolate milk in the game (it tastes like melted ice cream). As we transitioned into learning about their exquisite cheese selection, I knew their cheddar would be the perfect selection for this easy + fun recipe below! I’ve obviously been a d ..read more

I was so surprised when people said they were interested in this “recipe”. It’s one of my favorite combinations for Summer and beyond easy to make. I won’t call it a recipe because I literally just eyeball everything. You can’t mess it up! We used the tomatoes and peaches we got in Madison, GA from Farmview Market. They were fresh, juicy, and worth the 1-hour drive. HAH! If you are local to Atlanta, I would recommend using the produce from Lucy’s Market. They source from the best farmers all over Georgia and the southeast.  Ingredients  Arugula  Tomatoes (I like Yellow, R ..read more

I partnered with The Dairy Alliance to showcase one of my favorite sweet (but fruit-filled!) desserts! The Dairy Alliance is a nonprofit funded by the Southeast, and they are global advocates who believe dairy to be an essential ingredient to life. Dairy foods contain nine essential nutrients that are important for building strong bones and healthy bodies, and that’s why I ALWAYS use real milk in my recipes. Plus, it totally tastes better. Not only is this Strawberry Shortcake dessert adorable, but it takes less than 5 minutes to assemble, AND it makes a great snack for when you have company ..read more

Easter prep with The Dairy Alliance never looked so good. I made these delicious brunch cups that are perfect for your Sunday soiree and are effortless to make! For the cups, I started with placing little puff pastry squares in a muffin tin, then layered with a creamy, homemade cheese sauce, then cracked an egg into each cup, and sprinkled some ham to top it all off! I used real cheese, butter and milk for many reasons. The main being, IT TASTES BETTER and it has more protein than the leading plant based milks. Keep reading for the recipe and detailed instructions! The Recipe This recipe ma ..read more

I now have mad respect for all of the cookie artists/decorators out there. This took me like 5 separate attempts, a lot of dirty dishes and much patience lost.  Overall, this batch turned out to be my favorite. I mean how can you go wrong with cream cheese sugar cookies? If you enjoy the recipe below, let me know how yours turn out! Tag me @hungrygirlsdoitbetter. DOUGH Ingredients   8 ounces of cream cheese (the regular kind nothing skinny) - room temp 2 sticks of butter (I prefer Kerrygold - salted) 1 cup of sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 large egg 1/2 tablespoon vanilla 4 ..read more

When growing up every single holiday, special occasion or birthday required french toast made by my daddio! With the holidays right around the corner, I have been trying to perfect his french toast recipe (with a twist) so I can impress the people on Christmas morning!  I was scrolling through Tik Tok one day and I saw someone making French Toast on their grill!!!! Like what?! OMG Smokey French Toast, need I say more?!  We recently upgraded to The Traeger Timberland 1300 Grill! TraegerGrill is a convection-based wood pellet grill where high tech meets old fashioned grilling. But I ..read more

With the holidays quickly approaching, our house is becoming entertaining headquarters. Mind you, I am not complaining, I actually love having everyone here to celebrate because: 1. Because I’m a control freak 2. I just love making new dishes and signature cocktails for all to enjoy!  I am thrilled to partner with The Home Depot to show you one of my favorite dips that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser! If you are new around here then you probably don’t know that we have been cooking on our Traeger Grill for a little over a year now and we recently upgraded to The Traeger Timberland 1300 Gril ..read more

I partnered with The Dairy Alliance to showcase one of my favorite #homegating (tailgating at home) snacks. (The Dairy Alliance is a nonprofit funded by dairy farm families of the Southeast. They work diligently with dairy farmers, schools, sports teams, health professionals, local organizations, state leaders, the media, and the public to promote dairy foods and knowledge about the dairy industry.) We all know I love a good glass of milk (I used to collect GOT MILK posters when I was a child)… can we bring that back? Here is the recipe below. Don’t skimp on the ingredients (no low-fat option ..read more

This easy summer salad is perfect on its own or for a little dippy dip. I enjoy dipping with Siete Grain Free Chips for a healthy little snack. This recipe takes under 15 min and is a definite crowd-pleaser. As a skinnier option, you can leave out the mayo + sour cream. If you don’t prefer onions, you may also leave them out. Ingredients 2 ear of corn  1/4 cup mayo 1/4 cup sour cream or crema 1/8 cup of cotija cheese ½ teaspoon ancho chile powder ½ teaspoon cumin 1 tablespoon cilantro 1 bucket of cherry tomatoes  1 avoca ..read more

It's taken me being quarantined to finally attempt this recipe and, for that matter, cooking in general. I love food so I can't exactly say why it's taken me so long but I am beyond impressed with myself and the result! (insert pat on the back ). I took a mixture of the Carbone Spicy Rigatoni + Bon Appétit alla Vodka recipe. I take my carbohydrates very seriously so please take into account these are the ingredients on hand in these strange times and we are making it work. Side Note: The bowl I am using is my childhood pasta bowl. Whenever I didn’t feel well or was craving pasta, this was the ..read more
