So first things first – after trying this beef and broccoli, the sous chef immediately states that this “tastes like real beef and broccoli…” I couldn’t help but laugh, because it is really, really difficult to make beef and broccoli taste like chicken, cupcakes, seafood, or anything other than beef and broccoli – because, you…

Mediterranean Chicken Salad with a Red Wine Vinaigrette
Sooooo it’s Thursday, and I have a totally beauteous salad to share with you – bursting with color and texture – that’s going to give you that extra umph to get through the rest of the week. And maybe springtime generally. Because it’s that good. And I know exactly what you’re thinking: this is the best news…
Spicy Enchilada Meatballs
My favorite dishes are ones that are most practical to eat with a spoon rather than a fork. Because, you know, the spoon’s a vehicle for sauce, duh [um, #saucegamegoals]. And be still my heart, the sous chef suggested the spoons. So many reasons why I married this guy. This one is up there. I was…

White Bean and Spinach Braised Chicken Thighs [One Pot Dish!]
So simple, and so easy. Almost embarrassingly so – but just almost. If this recipe wasn’t totally delicious, embarrassment may appropriate. But it’s not… so we’re safe. *phew* So recently, the sous chef has been giving me a hard time about “all the butter, cream, cheese, and oil” that I cook with [insert eye roll here]….
Buffalo Chicken and Jack Cheese Salad
Buffalo wing sauce is basically what my dreams are made of. It’s pretty much sacred to me. As are many condiments – but this one is right up there at the top of my list. Throw it on a salad with a dollop or five of ranch dressing, and I’m in heaven. Oh, and can we…

Spring Cobb Salad with a Champagne Vinaigrette
Nothing to see here, friends. Nothing to see here. EXCEPT THIS INSANELY GORGEOUS AND CRAZY DELICIOUS SPRING COBB SALAD. Whew… sorry, had to get that out. This is definitely worth seeing. And even better: worth making. As in, stop everything you’re doing, find a cutting board, pour a glass of wine, fry up some bacon, and…
One Pot Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
Pleaseeee don’t be mad at me. I know, I know. I’m supposed to be moving onto spring, and here I am, whipping up one of the yummiest comfort food recipes ideal for, like, you know, January. But in my defense, even though it’s mid-March, mother nature in her crazy way drops snow and ice on…
Pesto Chicken with Spaghetti Squash and Kale
So, I’ve made no secret of my love for pesto. In fact, I profess it quite often: take exhibit A. But I insist on basil pesto. I love arugula, kale, and spinach – you name it – as much as the next person. But it shouldn’t go in pesto. Basil goes in pesto. That’s my story, and…
Grilled Red Onion and Zucchini Salad with a Smoked Balsamic Vinaigrette
I don’t know about you, but I’m still trying to grasp that it’s already March. It feels like we were literally just carving pumpkins and making gingerbread waffles. And yet, here we are, getting our vegetable gardens prepped and dusting off our grills. So, the sous chef is a bit of a grill fanatic and loves…
Balsamic and Rosemary Marinated Flank Steak
I literally make this all. the. time. It’s so simple, and so flavorful. So of course it’s on our regular menu rotation [duh, no-brainer]. And yet, I totally have a confession: It’s never thought to blog about this beauteous recipe because it’s just so easy. But, um, if I love easy recipes, I have no doubt that you do,…
Slow Cooker Barbacoa Beef Tostadas
FRAAANDDSSS… I have the best news ever to share with you. And I think you might love me for it. I think I love myself for it? I know, this display of humility is startling. But trust me, if there’s anything that calls for love, it’s undoubtedly this barbacoa beef, and that goes without question….
