Think sugar cookie meets margarita. Or something like that. And just as difficult to stop at a single taste.
Olivia Bleitz, Recipe Tester
A list of all the recipes Olivia Bleitz has tested.
Olivia Bleitz is a St. Louis native that has always loved food but struggled to boil water until her mid-twenties. She fell hard and fast for time in the kitchen: exploring new ingredients, cuisines, and loving the hunt for a particular ingredient or creating overly detailed multi-course menus. She has had the opportunity to further leverage her Type-A personality in the kitchen by helping to test recipes with Leite’s Culinaria and others for the past three years.
Sherry-Braised Chicken with Artichoke Hearts
Every bit as comforting and satisfying now as it was 60 years ago, this classic recipe marries tender braised chicken, artichoke hearts, and mushrooms with a sherry and vermouth sauce.
Kentucky Butter Cake
This sweet, buttery Southern pound cake is infused with rum extract and topped with a buttery vanilla sauce. Thankfully, it makes a big cake because it’s nearly impossible to stop after just one slice.
Stout and Soy Roasted Chicken
A marinade of soy sauce, stout, onion, and garlic takes your average roast chicken dinner to new heights.
Quick Skillet Chicken with Bacon
Change up your chicken game with this easy skillet meal of pan-fried chicken, bacon, buttery white wine sauce, and broccolini on the side.
Chocolate-Covered Popcorn
This easy-to-make, more-ish snack just earned its rightful place on our Super Bowl menu.
Broccolini with Tahini Sauce
Boiled broccolini just got a whole lot more interesting thanks to a tahini, garlic, and lemon sauce.
Baklava Granola
Like baklava, this baklava granola is filled with nuts, honey, cinnamon, and spices. Imagine, baklava for breakfast!
Superfood Breakfast Cookies
The best part of waking up are these super-charged breakfast cookies loaded with oats, bananas, berries, and chocolate chips.

“11/10!!!” “Ridiculously fast! Ridiculously good!!” “Where has this recipe been my whole life!?” “The flavors, the simplicity.” That’s what we’re hearing about this quickie of a salmon supper.
