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 Crab Bisque with Sherry and Old Bay
My oh my, how I love thee. It’s rich. creamy. decadent. And packed with succulent crab meat. This has to be one of the most satisfying and delicious soups known to man. I’m talking 15 out of 10 would make this every single day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Weird? Maybe. The best decision ever?…
Slow Cooker Chicken and Wild Rice Stew
How do we celebrate fall, my friends? That’s right, we break out the sweatpants, and eat ourselves into a beautiful food coma. And of course, enjoy every single carb-loaded bite along the way.

Classic Creamy Potato Salad with Bacon
Let’s just be totally clear: potato salad is not photogenic. I almost didn’t even share this insanely creamy, rich potato salad with you because it’s, um, not so easy on the eyes. BUT! The more I thought about it, the more I knew I needed to [knowing you would totally understand it’s not the prettiest recipe…

Split Pea Soup with Smoked Bacon and Thyme
Honestly, I’d contemplate moving to Antarctica to justify making split pea soup year-round. Extreme? Maybe. Would Canada suffice? Probably. But I’m not taking chances here, my friends. This rich, hearty, earthy soup is pretty much what my dreams are made of. It’s soul warming. But it also presents a MAJOR conflict: do I trust my…
Slow Cooker Red Wine Pot Roast
So it’s supposed to get down to 23 degrees tonight, and this is *everything* I need to cope. And by cope, I mean, bring on the cold weather, give me three heaping bowls of this hearty, rich, melt-in-your mouth, ah-mazing pot roast — and sure, twist my arm, a bottle of red wine, too. *Immediately…
Creamy Lobster Bisque with Sherry and Thyme
Lobster bisque is one of my absolute FAVORITE things to devour. If it’s on the menu, I order it. And naturally compare, judge, and pretend as if I’m the arbiter for all lobster bisques that have ever lived. Totally legit, yeah? I clearly have an incurable obsession with soup [exhibits A, B, and C +…
Asian Beef Stir Fry
Y’all, I am forever in search of quick, easy, saucy [read: DELICIOUS], lower-carb [more carbs for wine, duh] recipes. And this, my friends, pretty much checks all of those boxes. It’s also prepared in one dish, so seriously no fuss here. It’s warm, spicy, filling — probably as close to healthy comfort food as it gets [minus…
Slow Cooker Lentil and Kale Soup
I make no secret of my obsession with soup. And I’m 97% convinced mother nature is doing her damnedest to test my fortitude for whipping up everything cozy this fall — which is completely fine with me — because I’m up for the challenge. Did I mention IT’S 80 DEGREES IN OCTOBER? So, step 1…
