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…

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,…
