Thai Meatball Egg Drop Soup
I love nothing more than a heart-warming soup, even in the (albeit late) summer time. But during the summer, I opt out of the hearty, dense loaded soups that could moonlight as a chili if you use less chicken broth you know what I mean? Instead, I Iike broth-forward, light soups that still hit all…

Pesto Chicken & Spinach Pasta
Let me tell you… sometimes I wake up on Sunday ready to take on the world. I’ll clean the house, grocery shop, meal prep, do laundry. Other times I wake up and have a bad case of the Sunday Scaries. This dish is perfect for the Sunday Scaries. While I’ve been invigorated to be back…

Crispy Carnitas (+Tostadas)
Nick and I recently returned from 2+ weeks in Italy and while I cannot say enough good things about the food and culture there, I am ready to get back to my usual routine. I am equally sad it’s over and excited to be eating home-cooked meals with a variety of different flavors. It also…

Deconstructed “Chicken Parm”
I don’t even know why I called this Chicken Parm. It doesn’t even have parmesan in the recipe! But I guess it was a simpler way to name it than “Cracker-Crusted Chicken Cutlets over Marinara Sauce and Zucchini.” I’ve been making a version of this every month for the last few years.

Healthier Homemade Hummus
I’ll admit I go in phases when it comes to hummus. Some months I am ravenous for it, others it never crosses my mind. Growing up I was all about that Sabra Red Bell Pepper Hummus, so creamy, so salty, so addictive. But now that I am older and am way more conscious of the…

Loaded Greek Bowls with Feta Dip
My in-laws came to Southern California recently for their first visit to see us since before covid. 2019 feels like a flash in the pan but honestly, that’s almost 5 years! Wild to think about. As both they and my own parents lament, it’s because we haven’t had a room for them to stay in.…

Chicken Saltimbocca with Sundried Tomatoes & Spinach
Nick and I recently moved into a new townhome that is almost triple the size of our last apartment. I loved our old place – we had great neighbors, converted our garage into a gym, and felt very safe. But it was tiny. And dark. Our new place has so many windows, it’s light and…
