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…

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…

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. Ever since Rachael…
