Dr. J's Kitchen I love to cook and teaching others simple tricks in the kitchen is my passion.

🔥🧀 Buffalo chicken meets creamy mac & cheese!

This one checks all my comfort-food boxes: tender chicken, elbow macaroni and a creamy homemade cheese sauce with Buffalo sauce, cheddar, American cheese and blue cheese.

And here's my little twist: 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.

It doesn't make the mac & cheese sweet—it helps balance that Buffalo heat. ❤️

Dr. J's tip: Your sauce may look a little loose when you first add the pasta. Don't panic! Give it 3–5 minutes and the pasta will absorb some of that sauce and it'll thicken beautifully.

🔥 Would you put Buffalo sauce in your mac & cheese?

🥗 Stop buying French dressing—make this instead!

This is one of my favorite homemade salad dressings, and it couldn't be easier. Add everything to a mason jar, put on the lid and SHAKE!

Sweet, tangy and perfect over a big crisp salad. ❤️

Kim's Favorite “French” Dressing Recipe:

⅓ cup rice w**e vinegar
⅓ cup granulated sugar
½ cup ketchup
½ cup avocado oil
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Pinch of kosher salt
Ground black pepper

That's it—no blender required!

What's your favorite salad dressing: French, Ranch, Italian or Vinaigrette? 👇

24+ ingredients…or just 8? 😳

I love those little packaged Hawaiian rolls too—but when I looked at the ingredient list, I decided to make my own.

These homemade Hawaiian rolls use just 8 ingredients, and my bread machine does most of the hard work. 🍞❤️

🦃 What if the turkey didn't take up your oven this Thanksgiving?

This juicy boneless Turkey Breast cooks right in the Instant Pot — and then we use those flavorful cooking juices to make the gravy in the same pot.

It serves about 4–6 people, making it perfect for a smaller Thanksgiving dinner.

🍲 Comfort-food season is here!

Tender beef, mushrooms, pearl onions and egg noodles in a rich, creamy sauce — all cooked right in the Instant Pot.

And here's one of my favorite parts: no flour or cornstarch needed. The noodles help thicken the sauce as it rests.

$55 for Shrimp Fra Diavolo?! 😳🍤

We found this classic Italian dish locally for anywhere from about $26 to $55.

So I made it at home.

Tender shrimp, San Marzano tomatoes, garlic, white w**e, crushed red pepper and fettuccine—and it works out to only about $4–$5 per serving.

Restaurant-quality dinner without the restaurant price. ❤️

Would you pay $55 for it—or make it at home? 😂

These wings may look dark, but they’re NOT burned! 😂

The brown sugar in my homemade sweet & smoky rub caramelizes as the wings cook, giving them that deep color—and so much flavor.

And yes, I made homemade ranch to go with them. 😋
