TJ’s Vegan Dill Potato Gratin

In honor of my in-laws coming down for a weekend of LA adventures, walks, delicious meals, and of course, the list of honey-do’s we’ve been building up around the house for the last few weeks, I am sharing a recipe I like to make for the effortless backyard BBQ dinners for a group. As the…

Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Please forgive me for these photos. I am still working on making my dishes look aesthetically pleasing. A difficult task if you are not cooking meals in the middle of the day with time to let it cool completely and ‘artfully curate’ the plate. I am not a food stylist. I am a mother of…

Caesar Salad Smash Tacos

If you have tried my Bahn Mi Smash Tacos, then you know how amazing the viral smash taco trend can be. It’s a taco but it’s a different flavor profile than your usual Latino cuisine. I will admit I tried the In’N’Out smash taco recipes going around online awhile back that required you to make…

Irish Taco Bowls

Forgive me if I have already said this – my brain is quickly disintegrating in the final weeks of pregnancy – but this time around I have had the (dis)pleasure of experiencing food aversions and cravings.

Baked Spinach & Feta Potatoes

Looking for a fun side to your holiday meals? Look no further than these baked potatoes. I love a good baked potato dish as a side when you hit that time of year when your meals need to feed more bellies than you are used to cooking for. I never know how much rice to…

Tortilla-less Chicken Soup

If there is one thing about our household that holds true around this time of year it’s that we love a good soup. Doesn’t everyone? The only problem with soup season is that sometimes I get bored of the usual 4-5 on rotation. I know, I think I am bit psycho that way. I am…

Miso Braised Crockpot Pot Roast

Well we are a week out from what I consider the start of the holiday season and I am in denial that this year has gone by so fast. Wasn’t it just yesterday I was making reservations for my first Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant, belly so big with Koa I could barely waddle down…

Sheetpan Turkey Kebab Bowls

Ever see a recipe online and think, why didn’t I think of that? This is one of those recipes. Well, the dressing I thought of a long time ago, I use it all the time on top of Paella when I am looking to be healthier. I honestly should just make a batch of the…
