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….
Lunch
Rosemary Chicken, Avocado, and Bacon Salad with Honey Mustard
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…
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…
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…
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…
Crispy Baked Buffalo Chicken Tenders
You guys, I have great news. Believe it or not, these baked buffalo chicken tenders are magical. The sous chef is a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan – born and raised, through and through. And this past Sunday, the Steelers won the divisional round against Kansas City – and guess what we whipped up for a game day…
Ginger & Scallion Pot Stickers
One of my favorite things about dining out is trying a zillion different things. I fully appreciate having multiple courses, sharing tons of appetizers, and eating off of the sous chef’s plate (bless his patience). For me, it’s about the experience, and being able to taste the many different flavors and dishes – not just…
