Baked Brie with Prosciutto & Hot Honey

I hope everyone is have a great holiday season! As I finish out the last of my holiday recipes this year, I am moving away from desserts and back into savory — honestly, where I feel most comfortable. More sweet treats next year ha! Are you looking for a last minute appetizer to add to…

Baked Olive & Soppressata Dip

I’d be hard pressed to name a cheesy appetizer I didn’t like. Well maybe something with blue cheese… not a huge fan of stinky cheeses over here. And while I absolutely love a charcuterie board, I admit it can feel a bit run of the mill after your third holiday party. So I’ve been on…

Orange Chicken & Broccoli

I’ve mentioned this in a previous post but I try to incorporate one asian-style dish to our menu each week. It’s Nick’s favorite cuisine and it’s one I find gets easier the more reps you put in. Not that asian dishes are hard to make. They are actually quite simple when it gets down to…

Crockpot Chicken Lime Soup

I’m sitting here today less than motivated to do my usual routine – work, personal to dos, cooking. Let’s be honest. Some days we wake up ready to take on the world, romanticizing our routines. Other days, it feels like walking through quick sand. And sometimes the last thing we want to do on a…

Peanut-y Kale & Cabbage Simple Salad

As I think ahead of life with a newborn, even shorter daylight hours, and lack of time or energy to cook elaborate meals, I am leaning into building up my arsenal of beloved SIMPLE recipes. Not only for my sanity (though don’t get me wrong, I still loooove cooking regardless of the time it takes)…

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.…

Hawaiian-Style Slaw

In true Nick and Casey fashion, we are back in Hawaii and milking it for as long as humanly possible. We finnagled the ability to work remotely for a few weeks, sweet talked grandpa into letting us use up his visitor days, begged friends to watch our beloved cat, and booked last minute flights, leading…

CK’s Perfect Guacamole

Fun fact: Nick and I met while working in a small bar & grill at our local tennis club. Nick spent many a summers working at the tennis club, moving his way through the kids camp to the kitchen. Funny how he never cooks anymore… I have vivid memories of walking in in the mornings…

Crockpot Chicken Salsa Verde Tostadas

This isn’t the first time I have raved about crockpot dinners and it definitely won’t be the last. Who doesn’t love a set it and forget meal that cooks while you are at work, running errands,keeping children alive and entertained, etc. I have a weak spot for crockpot bowls. If you haven’t tried my Thai-ish…

Everyday Chunky Cinnamon Almond Granola

Granola and I have an on-again off-again relationship. As someone who grew up on cereal, nothing says comfort food like a big bowl of cereal with milk. But I simply cannot buy cereal and milk anymore. The reason? I will eat the entire box in one sitting. Every time I walk by the aisle at…
