I’ve been rocking various Jar Scraps recipes for almost two years now and have amassed a few favorites. This PB Salad Dressing made from the tail-end of a peanut butter jar immediately vaulted into the top few recipes because it’s SO delicious and a massive upgrade to what would otherwise go in the trash. This […] The post Jar Scraps PB Dressing appeared first on Crunch Time Kitchen ..read more

We missed our annual trip to North Carolina with Betsy’s family last year and it has left me completely craving shrimp. We usually go on the beach trip every year and I always try to eat my weight in seafood since it’s so fresh and delicious. Normally, I keep the shrimp steamed, but sometimes I […] The post Beer Battered Shrimp appeared first on Crunch Time Kitchen ..read more

Happy Memorial Day weekend! I wanted to bring a fresh take on the traditional burger your way and this Bulgogi Inspired Burger will do just fine! Instead of marinated steak, I like to mix aromatics and sauces into the ground beef and make large burgers. Those bulgogi burgers end up being slightly sweet, spicy, and […] The post Bulgogi Inspired Burger appeared first on Crunch Time Kitchen ..read more

Pretty much every year when the summer days get very hot, I decide that the Pimm’s Cup should be the drink of summer. I have absolutely no idea, to this day, why Pimm’s Cups aren’t more popular. They are refreshing, light, and easy to make individually or for parties.  It’s the perfect cocktail for a […] The post Cucumber Ginger Pimm’s Cup appeared first on Crunch Time Kitchen ..read more

Breakfast sandwiches are my true love language. I’ve made dozens of them over the years and I still enjoy coming up with new variations on a good breakfast sandwich. This Fried Feta breakfast sandwich hits all the high notes and is also SO fast to make. There are only three layers to this sandwich: Baby […] The post Fried Feta Breakfast Sandwich appeared first on Crunch Time Kitchen ..read more

Betsy’s family has been going to the same beach every summer for a family reunion/vacation for over 40 years. It’s an epic retreat and anywhere from 30-50 family members make it every year. We essentially rent an entire block of houses. It’s a great tradition. Steamed shrimp are always a popular appetizer and over the […] The post How to Steam Shrimp Perfectly appeared first on Crunch Time Kitchen ..read more

I don’t wish to wade into the chili crunch debate and I would rather not get a letter from Momofuku so I’m topping this Edamame Dip with chili crisp instead of crunch. Same deal, I guess! This is the time of year when having a great easy-to-make dip in your recipe list is so important. […] The post Edamame Dip with Chili Crisp appeared first on Crunch Time Kitchen ..read more
