This is probably as close to a one-pot dish as I’m going to get [minus the slow cooker… but even then I struggle. Exhibit a) red wine braised short ribs]. As much as the sous chef would have loved for me to actually create a one-pot dish, I am obsessed with browning food first because, well,…
Thai Shrimp Red Curry Bowls + Zoodles [Whole30]
HALPPP! It’s official. I need to sign up for soupaholics anonymous pretty much stat. Like, soup is overflowing in pots, tupperware, it’s everywhereeeee. I try and break it up with normal-ish food, like Mexican cauliflower rice, or the cheesy meatball skillet, but I’m basically putting on a front and deceiving everyone into thinking I don’t have a soup problem….
Red Velvet Cake Truffles
Roses are red, violets are blue, these sweet little nuggets were made just for you! Okay, okay, my next career may not be in poetry, but I’m alright with that. I just turned 29, and am completely accepting of the fact that my favorite hobby includes photographing food and mastering the art of writing about food…
Baked Goat Cheese Marinara [3 Ingredient Appetizer!]
This might be the easiest “recipe” I’ve ever posted. And when I say recipe, I use that term very very lightly – almost embarrassingly so. But hey, this is just an earnest effort to give you a no-brainer recipe – which, by the way, is SO delicious – so you have more time for the other things…
Cream of Mushroom Soup with Red Wine and Thyme
This is literally one of those insanely easy recipes that comes together in 30 minutes. It’s a perfect appetizer – and even better dinner. I don’t know about you, but the sous chef and I love having soup for dinner. Not only does it come together in a snap, and is typically a one pot…
Smoked Ham and White Cheddar Fritters with a Mustard-Cheese Sauce
So the sous chef and I are very much so looking forward to vacation in Mexico, and have been diligently working on our beach bodies. But ‘beach bodies’ is really open to interpretation, right? And if our diet has consisted solely of cheese-filled nuggets, and our goal is to wear moo moos on the beach, I’d…
Spicy Sriracha Vietnamese Pho Soup [30 minute recipe!]
Growing up in the Washington, D.C. area, pho soup is a staple at densely populated Vietnamese restaurants across the region. So of course – my favorite thing being a homebody and drinking copious amounts of wine with the sous chef and our dog-child – why go to a restaurant, when you can make it right…
Mexican-Style Cauliflower “Rice” with Chorizo
NEW FAVORITE DINNER ALERTTT…. um, sorry for shouting, but the whole world should really here this (consider it a public service announcement…). This Mexican-style cauliflower “rice” is seriously so delicious – and I don’t even feel guilty for eating it [read: I’m allowed another glass of wine]. And if there’s a way to cut calories, make…
Pan-Seared Rib-Eye Steaks in a Brandy & Rosemary Cream Sauce
My friends, this is one of my absolute favorite dinners – and with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, this has your special someone’s name written all over it. Listen, there’s no denying I am a huge fan of serving sauce with a side of protein. Yes, in that order. And I may or may…
Broccoli & Cheddar Soup
I’ve found a new way to consume copious amounts of cheese, and it comes in the form of soup (no surprises there…). This may actually be cheese, disguised as soup, and it couldn’t make me any happier. And the broccoli? That’s just for show. It’s part of the disguise. Now I clearly have a soup obsession,…
