Crispy Carnitas (+Tostadas)
Nick and I recently returned from 2+ weeks in Italy and while I cannot say enough good things about the food and culture there, I am ready to get back to my usual routine. I am equally sad it’s over and excited to be eating home-cooked meals with a variety of different flavors. It also…

Baked Tri-Fries
Why have one type of potato when you can have three?! I love a good homemade french fry but struggled for a long time figuring out how to make them crispy. The trick – soaking them in ice water beforehand! It helps remove any excess potato starch so they don’t stick together and get extra…

Healthier Homemade Hummus
I’ll admit I go in phases when it comes to hummus. Some months I am ravenous for it, others it never crosses my mind. Growing up I was all about that Sabra Red Bell Pepper Hummus, so creamy, so salty, so addictive. But now that I am older and am way more conscious of the…

One-Pan Mediterranean Rice Bake

‘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…
