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

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…

Lemon Cauliflower-Rice Soup
Another summer soup coming in hot for you guys as the sunny season continues holding strong here in Venice. It’s funny, I am seeing fall decor and recipes already being pumped on social media but for many of us here in socal, summer is still in full swing! Blame it on May Gray and June…

Chicken Nachos with Quick Corn Salsa
On 4th of July weekend, my friend Lauren made an epic nacho spread. I can’t even remember all the ingredients she used at this point but the notion of summertime inspired nachos stuck with me. As someone who has spent many a drunk late night in college gobbling down hole-in-the-wall nachos listening to Nickelback (not…

Baked Spaghetti Squash Bowls with Sausage & Peppers
Sometimes I am inspired to make elaborate meals. Other times I could care less. Enter my Baked Spaghetti Squash Boat-era. If you are on social media you may remember the viral feta and tomato dip trend where you simply bake feta with tomatoes, garlic and olive oil then mix together and add to pasta. Well…
