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…

Crispy Feta

Well, it’s been a busy March so far. I don’t know how it’s already the 21st or how I got here… Actually, I do. Life. Life happens. Day job duties get busy. Some intermittent travel. Nick and I have actively been saying YES to as much as possible. But admittedly, I am tired. I am…

Crockpot Thai-ish Shredded Beef Bowls

I have to give credit where credit is due, and the credit to this masterpiece goes to Alex Snodgrass of The Defined Dish. She is a legend. You can find her social media but unlike the slew of influencers who cropped up over the last 5 years, who’ve made a following from algorithm-pleasing 60 second…

Salsa Verde Chicken Soup

Are you a red sauce or green sauce kinda person? Do you prefer red salsa or green salsa? Well, I can unequivocally say that our household goes green – every time. No knock on red sauces or salsas, I can get down with a good pico de gallo, but green just warms me from the…

Crockpot Sundried Tomato Shredded Chicken Bowls

Is it just me or has this year been a turbulent start? Despite my best intentions to quick of 2024 with renewed energy, vigor, determination, and focus, I feel like the last 6 weeks have been ones of immense emotional fortitude. Not that everything is going horribly, no we are not in the dumps yet,…

Thai Papaya Salad

Okay, as my last Thai-inspired recipe of the month I thought I would go out with a bang with a dish I could eat every damn day. Sorry for the swearing but it’s just that good. Nick and I rarely eat out when at home but when we do, it’s Thai food. I also can’t…

Spicy Basil Chicken Larb

This is one of Nick’s favorite meals. There are only two things we order takeout from and this is the recipe that included 50% of the time. So I was determined to learn how to make it on my own. This recipe is tried and true. I have made it too many times to count,…

Baked Crispy Rice Salad

As an exciting third recipe in the series, let me introduce you to Crispy Rice salad. In previous iterations of this blog, I have attempted recreations of the iconic LA eatery Night+Market’s crispy rice. Which, if you are ever in LA, is a must-eat restaurant. Fantastic food, great prices, and not pretentious. But that recipe…
