• Coffee & Dish #21

    Hi Friends! It’s been a while since I’ve shared one of these posts and today is your lucky day because I’m sharing fun things for fall! I picked up one of these cozy knit tops at Target. I love that it is thinner than a traditional sweater but still cozy AND it looks adorable with my olive pants. I picked up a new (to me) cookbook by Joy the Baker while I was on vacation this summer and there are so many things I want to bake including the breakfast nachos and the apple pie with CHEDDAR-BACON crust! drooling yet? Looking for new fall decorations? I love the neutral color of these pumpkins and I…

  • Baked Chicken Chimichangas [with Instant Pot Salsa Chicken]

      One of my all-time favorite things to order at Mexican restaurants is a Chimichanga. They are filled with a cheesy chicken mixture, fried, and then smothered in queso. Oh man, I haven’t had a good, fried chimichanga in a very long time!     These days while I try to stay away from most fried foods, I don’t stay away from recreating my favorite restaurant dishes at home. When I saw the post that inspired today’s recipe I knew I had to try them (and put my own spin on it, of course).   Today’s recipe calls for pre-cooked chicken and I’ve included the recipe for my Instant Pot…

  • Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake

    Hi y’all! It’s been a while since we talked but if you were sitting in my kitchen today I’d make you a cup of coffee, serve you a slice of this cheesecake, and catch up on what’s going on in your life. But since we can’t sit down and chat today, here’s a recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake that is a favorite at our house. But first I have to warn you, this cheesecake is indulgent. It all starts with a rich and creamy cheesecake that is filled with cookie dough and chocolate chips. A small slice goes a long way, which means it will last longer or…

  • Sam’s Coffee & Dish – February 2017

    Welcome to February!   {ONE} Thanks for being patient with me as I find my blogging groove for 2017. While I didn’t post very many recipes in January, there were some good ones! These cookies are an absolute favorite of ours (and everyone else who has tried them) and we’ve been eating this BBQ for a while and I’ve finally perfected the recipe just how we like it!   {TWO} Have you ever ordered glasses online? I’ve seen other bloggers do it and I’ve always been intrigued. It’s time for me to order a new pair and I think I’m going to try it. I like that most companies will…

  • Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

    Happy Monday! Today I have another recipe for you that helps me get a hearty meal on the table despite my crazy schedule. I think by now you should have figured out that most days I don’t have time for fussy recipes with long lists of ingredients and crazy prep times. For these Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Sandwiches I think the magic is in the sauce or maybe the fact that you can put it all in the slow cooker and forget about it. But y’all, just putting chicken in the slow cooker doesn’t make me excited. But putting chicken in the slow cooker and smothering it with a delicious sauce,…

  • Spinach Dip

    Happy Monday! Today I’m sharing an easy appetizer that is not short on flavor. And since one of the main ingredients is a vegetable it’s got to be healthy, right?     This Spinach Dip can be made the night before, making it great for parties or just a treat for the weekend when you’re craving something creamy and scrumptious. I love serving this Spinach Dip with tortilla chips, but it can also be served with cubed bread.     The first time I tried this dip, my friend Tiffani served it at a party and I kinda fell in love. I love the extra creaminess that adding the cream cheese…

  • Cookies and Cream Cookies with White Chocolate Chips

    Y’all, I am so excited to share these cookies with you today! Variations of these Cookies and Cream cookies were all over the internet last year, I saw them on at least 4 different blogs. I knew if that many people were talking about them and loving them that I needed to try them too!     You start with a basic cookie dough batter and sub cream cheese for some of the butter and instant milk powder for some of the flour. These changes make the cookies moist and rich. I’ll admit that I had some reservations about putting store bought cookies, even though they were Oreos, inside my…

  • Saturday Coffee & Dish – January 2017

    Happy 2017! We’ve made it through the first week of January. I saw a meme the other day that said we need a day between December 31 and January 1 and I completely agree. I wanted to enjoy all of the fun of 2016, but also be prepared for 2017. Anyways, lets get  down to the first Coffee & Dish for 2017.   {ONE} It’s been a great first year for Sam’s Dish.

  • Sam’s Dish 2016 Favorites

      One year ago, this week, I took a risk and started Sam’s Dish. In 2016 I shared 71 (wow) recipes with you. Lots of cooking, baking and eating happened in my little kitchen. It was a good first year! Last night I sat down with my hubby and we looked through all of the recipes on the blog. I lost count of the number of times that he said things like “that was really good” or “you haven’t made that in a long time” or “we ate good last year”. lol. So today I’m sharing our (mine and my husband’s) favorite recipes from 2016.     Here are our…
