Crustless Chicken Pot Pie Skillet

I thought long and hard about what to call this one… and am still not convinced it’s the right name! On theme with the last two weeks, when I was on maternity leave I spent the time to try some of the harder recipes I have been wanting to make from the cookbooks collecting dust…

Green-y Protein Pasta

Okay so I know I said I was going to dedicate this month to a salad series but I am interrupting the regular programming for a salad inspired pasta! Yes you heard that right. This pasta dish does not taste like a salad in the slightest but it does kind of look like one. It’s…

Crispy Artichoke, Brussel Sprouts & White Bean Salad

I always enjoy a salad when it’s served right in front of me, ready for consumption. But to be honest, I don’t get excited when I think about making them. Maybe after a few days on the road or a week of travel but on a regular weekday evening, salads usually aren’t calling my name.…

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…

Zuppa Toscano

Happy 2025 friends! Is it just me or did the holidays fly by this year? Perhaps it’s having a newborn in the house for the first time or perhaps that simply comes with age. By the time we gear up for the holidays (gift buying, cooking baking, decorating), the actual days of celebrating go quickly.…

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…

Peanut-y Kale & Cabbage Simple Salad

As I think ahead of life with a newborn, even shorter daylight hours, and lack of time or energy to cook elaborate meals, I am leaning into building up my arsenal of beloved SIMPLE recipes. Not only for my sanity (though don’t get me wrong, I still loooove cooking regardless of the time it takes)…

Lemon Cauliflower-Rice Soup

Another summer soup coming in hot for you guys as the sunny season continues holding strong here in Venice. It’s funny, I am seeing fall decor and recipes already being pumped on social media but for many of us here in socal, summer is still in full swing! Blame it on May Gray and June…

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…
