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…

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…
