Holiday’s aren’t complete without pie, but how many of you crave the flakey crust and sweet filling throughout the year? Us too! I mean, let’s face it, there is nothing better in life than a perfect pie. How about a pie that is full of summer time flavors? Oh, hello there, we saw you drool [...]

Summer Market Salad with Honey Coriander Chicken
Tinsley recently was selected to attend a tasting event at Chick-Fil-A. She was part of an exclusive panel to help select their new summer salads (and was even interviewed to be in a commercial). One Tinsley’s favorite salads from the tasting was their Market Fresh Salad – filled with the flavors of summer. That inspired us [...]
Strawberry and Crème Mini Pies
Strawberry and cream cheese are best friends and we figured out a way to bake these decadent flavors into adorable mini pies. We made these on a Sunday morning and they were gone by noon. They are INCREDIBLE. The cream cheese gave the dough a tangy flavor, while the filling is bright with flavors of [...]
Herb Chicken with Strawberry Salsa
Strawberries with chicken? It might sound a little different, but after one bite you’ll be so impressed and going back for more. Give it a try – you’ll wonder why you’ve never tried this flavor combination before. This sweet and savory entrée is perfect for a summer picnic.
Peach Cobbler Crumble
Nothing says summer comfort like Peach Cobbler. And nothing says peach cobbler like Grandma’s classic recipe. This peach clobber was, is and will always be a family favorite. Handed down from Tinsley’s grandma, this dessert has become a summertime cookout staple. Everyone loves it and begs for us to make it. We have even received [...]
Cider and Cinnamon Glazed Ham
The glorious, beloved holiday ham. It’s the centerpiece to a feast surrounded by comfort foods, classic drinks and, most importantly, family and friends. Every year, we work hard to re-invent the holiday ham to make it new and exciting. We have sort of become the “Piggy King and Queen” among our group of loved ones. [...]
Chocolate and Caramel Pretzel Sticks
Looking to get some extra presents under your tree? Treat Santa with something besides those boring milk and cookies. My Chocolate and Caramel Pretzels will do the trick. Place them out with a glass of sparkling champaign and he might leave even more gifts. Santa will love with these sweet and salty treats so much [...]
Santa’s Trail Mix
HO HO HO, Santa is on his way. Crossing the globe in one night to deliver presents to all the girls and boys of the world is exhausting. My “Santa” needs a snack to help keep him on task. This is a perfect sweet and salty mix to set out for Santa. You can serve [...]
Peanut Butter Truffles
These peanut buttery bites are a favorite in our family. Every time Jason’s grandmother comes to visit, we make her a huge batch. She freezes them and pulls a couple out when sweet tooth is calling.
Thanksgiving Recipe Guide
Thanksgiving. It conjures up a variety of images, some good, some not so good. For many, it’s a time for family to gather around a specially prepared feast to give thanks and blessings. For others, it’s all about family feuds and black Friday deals. No matter how you view Thanksgiving, we wanted to share a [...]
Wilted Baby Spinach
This amazing side dish only takes a few minutes and it’s perfect for those busy days when you don’t have a lot of time in the kitchen. Even though it has a short cook time, it’s packed full of flavor. I love to pair my wilted spinach with a quick cooking protein such as [...]
Stuff and Bake Granny Smith Apples
CookingShorts has re-invented the apple pie! Well, maybe not, but we are super proud of this fun twist on a classic. We took all the flavors that we love from our favorite Thanksgiving dessert and instead of filling up a pie shell, we stuffed them inside of a tart, Granny Smith apple. This is a really fun [...]
Roasted Radish and Carrot Medley
I have always considered the radish just as a pretty garish for salad, not necessarily as a main vegetable. Boy, I have been missing out on an amazing flavor profile! Roasted radish taste nothing like its spicy, raw flavor. When roasted, the radish becomes delicate and sweet. If you’ve only been using radish in salads, [...]
Asian Glazed Wings
Sunday football is back and we’re so excited because that means good times and amazing food with friends and family. We love to have the whole crew over to cook up some CookingShorts favorites. This recipe is a favorite among our crew and is soon to become a favorite to yours. Now just one question [...]
Blue Moon Braised Beef and Onion Stew
Braising is a cooking technique that CookingShorts has traditionally avoided. As we like to keep our recipes simple and easy, we didn’t think that a braised recipe would fit with our mission. Recently, I’ve been experimenting more and more with beef and pork products. I was looking for a few different cooking methods rather than just [...]
