So rewind probably seven or eight years ago, and I had Indian food for the first time [I know, so uncultured]. I can’t even remember what it was about the dinner, but I swore off curry for years [thinking back, I’m legit convinced it didn’t even have curry in it — not to mention, still regretting…

Thai Chopped Chicken Salad with a Ginger-Peanut Dressing
Hello…! I’m so excited to share this salad with you. This beautiful bowl of a rainbow is sure to brighten your Tuesday. And aside from this being a super healthy salad [read: more calories saved for dessert wine], it’s also so so yummy. You know, mid-summer, I find nothing more refreshing than a crisp, cool salad…
One Pot Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
Pleaseeee don’t be mad at me. I know, I know. I’m supposed to be moving onto spring, and here I am, whipping up one of the yummiest comfort food recipes ideal for, like, you know, January. But in my defense, even though it’s mid-March, mother nature in her crazy way drops snow and ice on…
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…

Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Soup with Bacon and Thyme
My sweet, sweet friends, this cauliflower chowder is e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. This is seriously so healthy (pretty much because of the bacon, duh), and you wouldn’t even know it, because it’s just that yummy. I think I “taste-tested” half the pot of soup, which is totally okay and normal, so no guilt here (#yolo). And listen, if you…
Spicy Black Bean Soup with Avocado & Sour Cream
The sous chef and I are going to Mexico in February, so channeling my inner excitement to eat Mexican food and drink wine [Corona’s] on the beach for days, I thought I’d whip up a batch of spicy black bean soup. Okay, okay, in the back of my mind was I thinking Ohmygosh Mexico is only…
Coq Au Vin with Red Wine & Pearl Onions
My friends, after battling traffic during my commute home – for, um, let’s just leave it at too long – I came home and set aside a small chunk of time to make this beauteous Coq au Vin recipe. It was worth every second. And the sous chef, who has a more brutal commute…
