Crockpot Chicken & Kale Pesto Soup
If you tuned in last week, you may recall my declaration of simplicity when it comes to recipes. As my maternity leave comes to a close and the work anxiety slowly builds, I am reminded that making dinner is an act of joy for me. As with most things, it ebbs and flows. I remember…

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…

Bahn Mi Crispy Rice Bowls
We are back home and back on the dinner grind! I always love going to Hawaii to get creative with the local vegetables and easily accessible Asian ingredients, but I also get excited to come home to my kitchen full of gadgets and fully stocked cabinet of spices and grains! Now I will admit that…

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…

Mango Avocado Salsa
As I continue to pretend I am on official spring break here in Maui, I am leaning into the fresh ingredients I can find on the island and pretending summer is almost here. Though it is decidedly not anywhere near summer back on the mainland. I’ll keep it simple this week with a light, fresh,…

Kimchi Fried Rice
Well helloooo everyone from my little slice of paradise here on Maui. Yes we are back again! Thank you grandpa for buying a place decades ago and thank you Kelly family for never letting him sell it. Maui has become our home away from home over the past few years. We got married on the…

Manchego Dip
If you Google good restaurants here in Venice, you will inevitably come across Gjelina. It’s an institution here and beloved by many. I personally don’t find it all too gluten-free friendly but alas, I will not let that stop me from enjoying what I can! Gjelina just so happens to have a sister daytime spot…

Crispy Garlic Shaved Brussel Sprouts
Coming at you this week with another easy vegetable side to add in to the mix. And trust me, brussel sprouts have never been a favorite ingredient. Growing up, my grandfather hated eating anything “green” and my father had a particular distaste for the vegetable… or maybe it’s just kale he hates… still to this…

Peanut Tofu Satay
Looking for a fun way to spice up meatless mondays? Look no further than Peanut Tofu Satay. Tofu on skewers? How fun! I may not seem like a creature of habit with my cooking repertoire but I am a creature of habit when it comes to preparing my meats (and tofu) the same each time.…

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…
