Pepperoncini & Kale Hash

It may seem like I am a pepperoncini kick these days and you wouldn’t be wrong. I don’t know what it is but something about the salty, briny peppers are just doing it for me. So of course, I had the brilliant idea to add pepperoncinis to one of my many Saturday morning hashes (Nick’s…

One-Pan Mediterranean Rice Bake

Some days I have the energy to cook a dinner with a handful of elements, other days I want a meal that I can dump into a pan and forget about until it’s piping hot and ready to eat. This is one of those dishes for days when you simply cannot be bothered with spending…

‘Lightly Creamy’ Sausage Kale Pasta

I’ll be honest, I am not much of a pasta fan. It’s not about taste, it’s a texture thing. Give me pizza, a sandwich, a crunchy salad…. But hold the pasta. For the handful of times a year that I do indulge in a pasta dish, I also prefer something light, packed with vegetables and…

Thai Quinoa Salad

As some of you may know I have been toiling with the idea of creating a substack or figuring out how I can send a monthly email that culls the recipes I’ve posted for the month in one place for you all to see it all in one place and so I am not filling…

Sesame Shiitakes & Beef (and Broccoli)

We don’t eat a ton of red meat in our household. Not for lack of desire, but because we are always prioritizing lean meals during the work week. But every time I grocery shop at Trader Joe’s I am enticed by their selection of cut meats – perfectly sliced flank steak, shaved steak, filet rounds…

Yoshii’s Caesar Salad with Hot Crispy Cracker Chicken

I love Caesar Salad. Always have, always will. Top it with chicken tenders and WOW – it brings me back to my childhood days. Growing up my grandparents lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico and although I could go on and on about the incredible Tex Mex plates there now, when I was younger I…

Air Fried Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus

I never liked asparagus. Growing up asparagus was probably one of my least favorite vegetables. Now if you wrapped it in bacon? Okay, I’ll bite. There is nothing fancy about this recipe… there are only two ingredients and one cooking vessel. So why the need to post? Because if you don’t have an air fryer,…

Adeena & Chrissy’s Green Stir Fry

One of my intentions every year is to implement one to two meatless meals into our daily rotation. Not only is eating vegetarian food more sustainable for the environment, it’s a great way to reset your digestive system. Like many people, I was afraid that I wouldn’t feel full or satisfied with plant-based foods only…

Paella Stuffed Peppers

Posting these beauties has been a long time coming! Shout out to our old neighbors Neal and Thais who introduced us to the wonderful world of paella making. Our lovely (and sorely missed) neighbors are some of the most welcoming, kind, and generous people, who moved in next door and immediately made an effort to…

Lemon Chicken Feta Rice Bowls

As a follow up to the crispy feta I shared a few days ago, this is my favorite dish to pair it with! But let me be honest, I cannot take credit for this recipe. The basis of this one is the one and only Tiegen from Half Baked Harvest. She has inspired me to…
