Crispy Baked Bison Tacos

Now the last two weeks I’ve shared some recipes that are a bit more involved. But as I see the end of my maternity leave tunnel later this month, I am switching gears to super simple meals that I can whip out once I am juggling work and childcare at the same time. I have…

Mochiko Chicken with Cabbage Slaw

Well, friends, it has been a few weeks since I last posted. I was blissfully enjoying maternity leave meets an extended spring break in Maui when my husband came to join us after 10 days apart… and brought covid/the flu with him. He refuses to admit it but is constantly getting sick and when he…

Sheet Pan White Chicken Casserole

Okay so remember when I said I was going to only share salads this February? Then proceeded to share a pasta dish. Well here is another pasta dish! Sorry not sorry. But this breastfeeding mama is also a hungry hippo who is craving comfort foods. All. the. Time. And I love cheesy chicken and broccoli…

Green-y Protein Pasta

Okay so I know I said I was going to dedicate this month to a salad series but I am interrupting the regular programming for a salad inspired pasta! Yes you heard that right. This pasta dish does not taste like a salad in the slightest but it does kind of look like one. It’s…

Spicy Tuscan Kale Spaghetti Squash

As we swing back into post holiday routines this month, I am finally finding my footing back in the kitchen post partum. Shout out to my mom who feed us for days once we got back home and were completely gobsmacked by trying to keep a tiny human alive and well-fed. Then shout out to…

Bahn Mi Smash Tacos

A few months ago I saw a similar recipe to this on Instagram and immediately saved it. Time is warping but I recall smashed In’N’Out style burger tacos going viral at some point… which I tried of course. But these – these are superior. The regular burger flavors + a tortilla felt off to me.…

Baked Spaghetti Squash Bowls with Sausage & Peppers

Sometimes I am inspired to make elaborate meals. Other times I could care less. Enter my Baked Spaghetti Squash Boat-era. If you are on social media you may remember the viral feta and tomato dip trend where you simply bake feta with tomatoes, garlic and olive oil then mix together and add to pasta. Well…

Pesto Chicken & Spinach Pasta

Let me tell you… sometimes I wake up on Sunday ready to take on the world. I’ll clean the house, grocery shop, meal prep, do laundry. Other times I wake up and have a bad case of the Sunday Scaries. This dish is perfect for the Sunday Scaries. While I’ve been invigorated to be back…

Crispy Carnitas (+Tostadas)

Nick and I recently returned from 2+ weeks in Italy and while I cannot say enough good things about the food and culture there, I am ready to get back to my usual routine. I am equally sad it’s over and excited to be eating home-cooked meals with a variety of different flavors. It also…

Deconstructed “Chicken Parm”

I don’t even know why I called this Chicken Parm. It doesn’t even have parmesan in the recipe! But I guess it was a simpler way to name it than “Cracker-Crusted Chicken Cutlets over Marinara Sauce and Zucchini.” I’ve been making a version of this every month for the last few years. Ever since Rachael…
