Simple Beef Stuffed Poblanos with Jalapeno Dressing

I think poblano peppers are my ingredient for the summer. Every time I see them in the grocery store I can’t help but throw a few in my cart. I used to be hard-pressed to find them but now I am seeing them everywhere – the Ralphs, the Whole Foods, even the Trader Joe’s! I…

Cracker-Crusted Chicken Cutlets

We all have those dishes we revert back to time and time again. For me, it’s cracker-crusted chicken. Although not as simple as grilling or baking chicken, there is something so satisfying about the crunchy, salty coat that it makes the extra 10 minutes of preparation worth it. I could probably chalk this obsession up…

Crustless Chicken Pot Pie Skillet

I thought long and hard about what to call this one… and am still not convinced it’s the right name! On theme with the last two weeks, when I was on maternity leave I spent the time to try some of the harder recipes I have been wanting to make from the cookbooks collecting dust…

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…
