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…
Cheese
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…
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…
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,…
Cheesy Meatball Skillet in a Spicy Tomato Sauce
Oh, that skillet of golden, cheesy meatballs buried in a wondrously delicious tomato sauce? That’s just my portion. No big deal. Just don’t ask where the sous chef’s is… These meatballs are completely addicting. Oneeeee more won’t hurt [read: I’m in total denial. I was stuffed.]. But this one of those dishes that practically warms the…
Grilled Hearts of Romaine with Smoky Caesar Dressing
So cooking and baking are really based on trial and error, right? Luckily, for me (and really the sous chef), these grilled hearts of romaine with smoky caesar dressing were spot on delicious – which is exactly why I’m sharing the recipe with you. I wish I could always say my recipes turn out great – but…
Roasted Asparagus with Thyme and Parmesan
Roasted asparagus with thyme and Parmesan is such an easy side dish. And delicious, too. This has been a staple for the sous chef an I – so much so, that he’s pretty much on asparagus duty when we make this. So these beauties you’re looking at? No credit to me! (Thanks, babe!) The sous…
Champagne Shrimp Alfredo with Rosemary & Gouda
Really, champagne and cheese in one magical dish? Sure, I’ll have seconds thirds. thankyouverymuch. Plus, it’s a New Year’s dream come true: champagne shrimp alfredo that has zero calories, zero carbs, and no fat. Alright, maybe I just told myself it was guilt-free after thoroughly enjoying every. single. bite. of this decadent dish. But truly,…
Whipped Sweet Potatoes with Gruyere
This recipe is a go-to for the sous chef and I. When we’re not eating bacon and drinking wine, we make an effort to err on the side of healthy. In moderation, of course (no, not the bacon and wine – I mean the whole being healthy thing). And the sous chef loves these sweet…
Creamy Mashed Cauliflower with Rosemary & Roasted Garlic
I know, I know. Mashed cauliflower is not nearly as sexy as gingerbread waffles, I get it. But you’re going to have to take my word on this one. This is the best mashed cauliflower I’ve ever had. And, I mean, I’m not trying to tout my number of cauliflower escapades (but I’ve been around the…
