Tex-Mex Pasta Salad
Frankly, I may be biased – and have a mildly unhealthy addiction to tex-mex food [which, I’m totally okay with, for the record] – but this pasta salad is basically the QUEEN of pasta salads. Because let’s just say that the dressing we tossed this baby in made all my sauce dreams come true. Sauce…
Grilled Hot Italian Sausage, Caramelized Onion, and Pesto Pizza
I’m totally going to redeem myself with this pizza after posting so. many. salads. This was ridiculously delicious, and oh so indulgent. So the sous chef is originally from New Jersey, and whenever we decide to order a pizza, he swears I have a completely unsophisticated pizza palate and like “garbage” pizza. Because, you know, being…
Kale and Crispy Chickpea Salad with a Creamy Basil Dressing
WAITTTTT! Please don’t run away. I know this is scary [the salad doesn’t even have cheese]. And… it’s another salad. We’ve been on such a salad kick – similar to our soup habit this past winter that we haven’t seemed to kick just yet – but we’re going to get through this together, and I think…
Fajita Chicken Salad with a Chili-Lime Vinaigrette
Y’ALL. Beach season is right around the corner. And I can’t promise one way or the other whether this is going to help your diet, or hurt your diet. I have a LEGIT salad problem. And it basically stems from my inability to stop piling on cheese, avocado, and everything else delicious under the sun…
Spicy Shrimp with an Avocado-Cilantro Dipping Sauce
This is basically a summer shrimp cocktail. And it’s a perfect combination: spicy shrimp with a cool, avocado dipping sauce that discernibly tastes like heaven. The end. Okay, okay – though that sums it up to a tee, this dipping sauce deserves a bit more of a shout out. So the sous chef and I shamelessly…
Spring Marinated Asparagus with Hard Boiled Egg, Capers, and Basil
Hi! So happy you stopped by – because this asparagus recipe is a game changer for your spring recipe rotation. Now, the sous chef and I love just grilling and roasting plain asparagus [olive oil, salt, pepper — you can’t go wrong] – but this is such a perfect side dish with a little extra…
Roasted Bell Pepper and Mozzarella Summer Salad with an Herb Vinaigrette
So the sous chef and I officially have our summer vegetable garden planted, and we’re very excited – the only thing that more exciting would be if we were able to grow cheese. You know, mozzarella cheese or something. Okay, I’d take any cheese [kind of a cheese-aholic]. But we can’t, so we’ll have to…
Cauliflower, Leek, and White Cheddar Soup with Thyme
My fraaanndssss! Helloooo! I’ve missed you, dearly. But so glad we’re reunited again. And there couldn’t be better circumstances for our little parley. Because today, we’re whipping up this completely delicious cauliflower and leek soup. And if you take out the cheese [WARNING: DON’T DO THIS, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. CHEESE IS LIFE.], it basically has negative calories….
Rib-Eye Steaks with a Mustard Cream Sauce and Spring Vegetables
Hellloooooooo! May I give you the run down on this gorgeous dinner you should totally make tonight? K, great, here we go: I’m steak-crazed, and this nothing short of amazing This totally rad mustard cream sauce is everything You’ll get your yearly quota of chlorophyll, and will love every bite Did I mention the sauce? oh, and STEAK. Whew! Glad that’s…
BBQ Chopped Chicken Salad
Can you keep a secret from the sous chef? Pretty please [with the recipe for this salad on top]? I have several loves in my life – not just him [I know, shhhhh…..]. There’s our fury four-legged son [yes, to be expected], and then this beautiful bowl of spicy, crunchy goodness [GASP]. I know what…
Zucchini Noodles with a Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce
STOP THE PRESSES: We’ve got ourselves an impasta on our hands! Get it? Zoodles? Fake pasta? [… and on today’s episode of my favorite [and oh so terrible] corny jokes to tell…] Please tell me you just laughed? Maybe a chuckle? A smile, at least? No? Just an eye roll? #storyofmylife. And as much as I’m all about…
