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…

Salsa Verde Shredded Chicken Enchilada Bake
Well, last week I started work and this week we have a bout of chicken pox in our household! So needless to say, it’s been a wild few days. And unfortunately, we are still in the thick of it. Nothing like a few sleepless nights and conference call-packed mornings to really shock the system back…

Effortless Pesto Kale Quiche
Well it’s official, your girl is back at work! Part excited. Part exhausted already. Definitely nostalgic for the early days of babyhood. But mostly energized to tap back into the adult world. Don’t quote me on that though, I may be over it in a few short weeks, relishing my slow days walking the streets…

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…

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…
