This drink is special enough for a party (scale it up for a crowd), or special enough to make 2 for a date night at home. I actually like this sangria hot or cold! If you’re making it warm, leave off the optional sparkling wine floater at the end. I first had sangria when I lived outside Napa in graduate school. I love fruity cocktails, and I love wine, so I wasn’t even shocked at how much I loved fresh pieces of fruit in my wine!...

Quick & Easy Chili Recipe A few weeks ago, I was feeling under the weather with a unique mixed bag of misery that is allergies, sinus trouble and toothaches all at once. Even though I hid from everyone, my Mom still picked up in my text messages that I was down and out. My parents came over to my house with all the ingredients to make this beef chili. I was overjoyed beyond belief....

Hi friends! I’m bringing you a bit of a different post today, because, well — January. I’m going to be working to bring you some really insanely useful recipes and posts. There are times (did you see my December??), where I really like to bring you fun, creative, sometimes indulgent recipes — and I’m still going to bring you some of those, too! But it seems like January is a time when a lot of people are buckling down and getting back to a routine, and there is this big part of my Type A personality that loves routine....

Freezer Recipe: Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes This method for make-ahead mashed potatoes is extra special because it uses an entire 5 pound sack of potatoes. What is it doing on a blog about cooking for two, you might ask? Well, because I’m going to give you options on how to store these potatoes for any size meal! If you strictly cook for two people, I recommend using mini loaf pans, to store small portions of mashed potatoes in the freezer....

I am so freaking ready for cookie baking season! The ‘cookie season’ lasts from the day after Thanksgiving until New Year’s Eve, in case you didn’t know. On January 1, you guys get all healthy on me and swear off cookies, so I just crawl back into a hole and wait for chocolate season (AKA Valentine’s Day). My cookie baking season spans all cultures, all holiday traditions, and all flavors....

Mini bread puddings in a muffin pan. With whiskey sauce. I feel like the first thing we need to talk about today is that sauce. I’m going to say the name of it, but I want you to be sitting down first. Ok, are you ready? Brown sugar whiskey caramel sauce. I know. Just roll me out of here when I’m done bathing in it. The mini bread puddings underneath the sauce are just as incredible....

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER I think one of the worst parts of being a food blogger is having to think about back to school in the middle of summer. And because I’m a little obsessive and like to work ahead (you know, so I can enjoy my summer), I actually start thinking about back to school in Spring! Since these Lemon Blueberry Energy Bites are the only energy bites recipe on The Recipe Rebel, I decided I needed another!...

Y’all trust me when it comes to desserts, right? I thought so. So, believe me when I say that pineapple + buttery bread crumbs + cheddar cheese is delicious. I found this little gem of a recipe in my Mom’s recipe collection. My Mom is a little uneasy sharing recipes with me. Maybe it’s because she’s afraid I’m going to make them better (by adding cheddar cheese) or maybe it’s because she’s worried I will mess up her meticulously organized recipe cards....

I checked with the food gods to see if it would be okay if I started sharing this year’s best pumpkin recipes. Good news: they said yes. The bad news is, though, that you will eat this entire small batch of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies by yourself. In one sitting. I mean, if you’re anything like me and lack self-control. They’re soft, chewy and spicy, and I couldn’t get over how easy they were to stir together....
