Filet with Serrano Peanut Sauce

I had to restrain Mr. KMW from drinking this Serrano Peanut sauce. Not physically, but with the death looks that I pull out that are oh so powerful. I definitely didn't blame him for loving it, but I wanted to save some for future dipping.

It was the perfect combo of sweetness from the peanut butter and heat from the Serrano, and all together an awesome dipping sauce. It would work great with chicken skewers, in a stir fry, on veggies, or just go ahead and drink it...just don't tell Mr. KMW I said that's okay though.

I've mentioned this before, but we are absolutely in love with our thermapen. I know, sounds ridiculous to spend that much on a thermometer, but it's worth it, we've been cooking meat perfectly thanks to that little gadget.

Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Sweet Potato Boats

Let's talk about easy weeknight dinners. I don't know about you, but I need more of them in my life and these BBQ Chicken Sweet Potato Boats are officialy in the rotation. What's your favorite easy weeknight dinner?

I kind of cheated, I used my Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken to top a sweet potato that I cooked in the microwave...does it get any easier than that? I'm just trying to give you some proof on how versatile that slow cooker chicken is, as I pair it with my love for sweet potatoes.

Bacon Wrapped Chili Lime Shrimp

I'm a little behind on posts so you're going to see some recipes that were taste tested at my Super Bowl party popping up the next couple of weeks. Good news is, you can eat dips and appetizers anytime of the year!

I'm generally a dip fanatic, but these shrimp brought some competition to the table. They were a pop of flavor in my mouth! I can't wait to make some for myself...when I'm home alone...and don't have to share them with a dozen people.

Chef Andi brought the shrimp to the party, and can we talk about her plating skills? I need to invite her over more often, just to make my food look prettier for you all! Oh, and know what else she brought?

Butternut Squash Hash Browns

You know we love our Butternut Squash around here. We usually go through one squash a week, and this time around I decided to make it for breakfast. If you're a butternut squash fan, KMW is the place for you.

I also put one of my latest favorite kitchen gadgets to use, the shredding disc on my food processor. I love that thing. Oh, I need to shred this block of cheese? 20 seconds and done. Shredded the heck out of some potatoes for this Bacon, Egg & Cheese Hash Brown Skillet. It can help you make coleslaw in no time at all. I'm a shredding machine lately, well I guess my food processor is more the shredding machine...you get it.

So get out your shredding attachment, shred up some butternut squash and make yourself some hash browns!
