Sheet Pan Veggie Marinara Bake

Well what a doozy this week has been! After a very fun first annual Kelly family trip last week (destination: Florida), Nick and I immediately jumped back in to deep end of work. Nick flew to Boston less than 12 hours after returning from the Sunshine State to the Golden State and I was trekking…

Chicken Calabacitas Zucchini Boats

Over Labor Day I went to Santa Fe to celebrate my mom’s 60th birthday. For those of you who keep up each week, you probably remember my reflections on leaving my son and husband for the first time since giving birth. The short trip was wonderful, and I was once again reminded how much I…

Halloumi Chop Salad

I’ve said before and I will continue to keep saying it – I refuse to let go of summer. It was 90 degrees in our upstairs bedroom today! And we don’t have AC… Painful at night but oh so nice for evening walks and weekends at the beach. Nick and I have been all over…

Baked Hasselbeck Chicken & Poblano Skillet

As I sit here at the airport waiting on my first flight ALONE since having a baby, I am feeling quite emotional and reflective on the past 8ish months. I cannot believe time has flown by so quickly. And yet, it feels like years since I have sat at the bar of an airport without…

Hot Honey Chicken Burgers

Is it just me or does the internet like to jump into the fall season wayyy too early every year? I cannot tell you how much it irks me to see influencers posting fall recipes right now… August is still the summer! And if anything, September is when it really feels like summer here in…

Chicken Artichoke Bean Soup

I love a good summer soup. Mostly because soups are so easy to make. And this one is no exception. It is also exceptionally delicious! This is one of those recipes that I threw together at the end the week because I had a hodge podge of ingredients around and couldn’t deal with more than…

Grilled Chicken & Corn Salad

What gives off a more summer vibe then grilled chicken and corn? Until recently I haven’t really given much thought to summer recipes versus winter ones. I have no problem cooking hearty soups in July or fruit-forward desserts in December. But recently I have embraced the flavors and colors of summer’s delicious produce. Going to…

Crispy Potato & Kale Caesar Salad with Chicken

Welp, I took an unexpected two week hiatus from as changes at my day job doubled my workload overnight! Not a bad thing persay, just an unforeseen change that I was definitely unprepared for. All of a sudden Koa’s nap hours became precious time to catch up on emails or wrap my head around a…

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…
