Helloooo, my frannnnds! This recipe is so colorful, so bright, SO delicious, andddd…. it’s pretty much perfect [so modest, I know]. The sous chef and I have been going a teensyy weensy bit overboard on cauliflower rice [because, hello, Trader Joe’s pre-riced cauliflower has been nothing short of life changing] and this will give you every….

Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Pasta
Welp, my friends. Spring is here. And in honor of sabotaging all bathing suit season goals, I bring you this insanely delicious recipe. Truth be told, I think we all just need to agree that bathing suit season is overrated [I-will-sit-on-the-beach-in-sweats, thankyouverymuch. #trendsetter]. But you know what’s not overrated? Lucky for us, this creamy, spicy,…
Creamy Pumpkin-Sage Pasta Alfredo
Welp, it’s mid-October and it FINALLY feels like fall. I mean, I was literally on the verge of finding a sacrificial lamb to send up to mother nature to put an end to this swamp-like weather (which we’ve been suffering through since, like, April I’m pretty sure #survivors, amiright?). But ANYWHO, let’s all take a moment…
Spring Spaghetti Squash Alfredo with Shrimp
Spaghetti squash is my JAM. Is it because I mostly use it as a vehicle for sauce? Without a doubt…. andddd I wouldn’t change a thing. But seriously, this spaghetti squash alfredo doesn’t disappoint. Creamy, decadent alfredo sauce, tossed with spaghetti squash, asparagus, peas, Parmesan cheese, and delicious little nuggets of shrimp? Yesssssssssssssss. [Brb, heating up…
Bacon and Cheddar Pierogies with Caramelized Onions
Pierogies! It’s what’s for dinner! Maybe an appetizer would be more appropriate? Appropriate, shmappropriate. I’D EAT THESE BABIES FOR BREAKFAST. We can go ahead throw appropriateness out the window — right alongside any notion of traditional pierogies. Because listen, I don’t proclaim to be a pierogi aficionado by any stretch of the imagination [cough, sous chef,…
Seared Sea Scallops with a Bacon, Leek, and Pea Puree
Hi, hi! So spring is just around the corner, right [or so I tell myself, with miserably cold weather and no sign of snow… [unacceptable, I know!]]? These bacon fat-seared sea scallops are the *perfect* recipe to jump start springtime — even if mother nature isn’t on board [YES, mother nature, we’re all looking at…
Kale Chicken Caesar Salad
My friends! This is so simple, and so easy. No frills. No bells. No whistles. That is, of course, if you don’t consider a dreamy Caesar dressing something to write home about [and it totally is!!]. I, for one, absolutely love Caesar salads. Of course, it’s without question because of the salty, smooth, creamy dressing that gives…
Swedish Meatballs
Helllooooo, frands! We’re officially over one week into the new year, so it’s totally cool to eat carbs again. You’re welcome. Detox soup and kale salad were fun for a few days, don’t get me wrong, but these Swedish meatballs and creamy pasta was everythinggggg I needed in my life: juicy little nuggets of meat swimming…
Antipasto Salad with an Italian Red Wine Vinaigrette
Well, hello 2018! Can we just talk about WHERE IN THE WORLD 2017 WENT?! I feel like I blinked, and it was gone. For me, the new year is always a simple reminder of how precious time is, and to truly appreciate every single day. Super sappy, I know. *sips wine, wipes my tears* KIDDING….
Sweet Potato Gnocchi with a Rosemary and White Cheddar Cheese Sauce
Y’all… these are basically delicious little pillows of sweet potato joy. Morsels of heaven, if you will… you know, drowning in a rich, creamy cheese sauce [*wishes I was drowning in this cream sauce… jealousy immediately sets in*]. Honestly though, gnocchi is one of my most favorite things to make/eat/all of the above. I guess…
