Cracker-Crusted Chicken Cutlets

We all have those dishes we revert back to time and time again. For me, it’s cracker-crusted chicken. Although not as simple as grilling or baking chicken, there is something so satisfying about the crunchy, salty coat that it makes the extra 10 minutes of preparation worth it. I could probably chalk this obsession up…

Kimchi Fried Rice

Well helloooo everyone from my little slice of paradise here on Maui. Yes we are back again! Thank you grandpa for buying a place decades ago and thank you Kelly family for never letting him sell it. Maui has become our home away from home over the past few years. We got married on the…

Spicy Tuscan Kale Spaghetti Squash

As we swing back into post holiday routines this month, I am finally finding my footing back in the kitchen post partum. Shout out to my mom who feed us for days once we got back home and were completely gobsmacked by trying to keep a tiny human alive and well-fed. Then shout out to…

Orange Chicken & Broccoli

I’ve mentioned this in a previous post but I try to incorporate one asian-style dish to our menu each week. It’s Nick’s favorite cuisine and it’s one I find gets easier the more reps you put in. Not that asian dishes are hard to make. They are actually quite simple when it gets down to…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
