So, the sous chef is absolutely obsessed with this salad – and for good reason. For starters, it’s packed with, um, avocado and bacon… [i.e. a match made in heaven]. I mean, that’s pretty much as close to chocolate and peanut butter, or wine and cheese as you’re going to get. So yeah. Now, I’m…

Fresh Basil and Garlic Pesto
Hi, do you have a second? Because I am in dire need of professing my love for fresh basil pesto. Basil period. But when you basically turn basil into a condiment, I’m all over it. You’re biggest cheerleader, loudest fan. Because basil pesto is so delicious on literally everything – you cannot go wrong: pasta, pizza,…
Hot Italian Sausage, Kale, and White Bean Soup
Let’s talk about our favorite indulgences. I’ll go first. I’m going to go ahead and just skip over soup altogether, because, um, that one was obvious. And wine. I don’t even need to go there. Other than that, I’ve got one word for you: sausage (and bacon, but I’m really focused on the sausage right…
Tomato Bruschetta with Mozzarella and Basil
So, I love tomato bruschetta. What’s not to love? It’s literally everything I can’t live without in one dish. Minus bacon. And red wine. But rest assured, we consume plenty of both in our spare time – just not in our bruschetta. Which is a good thing, my friends. Trust me. Now, I love tomatoes –…
Smoky Chicken Enchilada Soup
I love everything about Mexican food, period. Tacos, burritos, ceviche, taquitos, fajitas, every kind of salsa under the sun, and enchiladas are no exception. You name it, I’ll eat it. But what’s equally as delicious as enchiladas, and just a teensy weensy bit healthier? This smoky chicken enchilada soup. Because, well, it’s low-carb, and pretty…
Shrimp Cocktail with White Wine and Garlic
Hiiiii….. So glad you’re here. Because, um, enter the most delicious little nuggets of savory goodness (i.e. shrimp cocktail… my fave) you’ll ever meet. I mean, seriously. The sous chef will totally vouch for me here. These are hands down, delicious. And I gotta be honest: we love this recipe in particular because of how…
Roasted Greek Chicken Thighs with Artichokes and Bacon
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…
