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…

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…

Delicata Squash & Kale Salad

Just the other week I posted my current recipe obsession – Baked Delicata Squash & Pistachios. Dare I say delicata squash has french fry qualities? Blasphemy I know, but it is just so addicting and snackable. I was making so much of it that one day I found myself with leftovers. So I thought –…

Peppadew & Chickpea Kale Salad

Is it just me or did we all live an entire year in the month of January? I know it’s one of the longest months of the year that always feels a bit like a let down after the buzz of the holidays wears off. But this year in particular the month felt like it…

Crispy Artichoke, Brussel Sprouts & White Bean Salad

I always enjoy a salad when it’s served right in front of me, ready for consumption. But to be honest, I don’t get excited when I think about making them. Maybe after a few days on the road or a week of travel but on a regular weekday evening, salads usually aren’t calling my name.…
