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…
Dinner
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…
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…
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….
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…
Spicy Sriracha Vietnamese Pho Soup [30 minute recipe!]
Growing up in the Washington, D.C. area, pho soup is a staple at densely populated Vietnamese restaurants across the region. So of course – my favorite thing being a homebody and drinking copious amounts of wine with the sous chef and our dog-child – why go to a restaurant, when you can make it right…
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…
Pan-Seared Rib-Eye Steaks in a Brandy & Rosemary Cream Sauce
My friends, this is one of my absolute favorite dinners – and with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, this has your special someone’s name written all over it. Listen, there’s no denying I am a huge fan of serving sauce with a side of protein. Yes, in that order. And I may or may…
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,…
