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…

Pan-Seared Chicken in a White Wine and Sage Cream Sauce
Hellooooo, friend! This is the feel good, heartwarming, hug-for-dinner comfort food you’ve been looking for – and it will not disappoint. It is so so good. And so so simple. I have a motto in life that I hold near and dear to my heart [but closer to my stomach, obviously], and it goes something like this: extra sauce,…
Panko Crusted Pork Tenderloin with a White Wine-Mustard Cream Sauce
So the sous chef and I are pretty much permanently scarred from having leather-like pork chops as kids […love you, mom]. So in all the time we’ve known each other, pork chops are just not something we’ve ever had the desire to cook – probably because no amount of sauce could have saved them, and that’s an unfortunate deal…
Rigatoni Pasta in a Sun Dried Tomato and Basil Cream Sauce
Oh, hi! Fancy seeing you here… when there just happens to be the best ever dreamy pasta recipe… fortuity, I’m sure… Now they say there are pros and cons in every situation, right? So can we just chat about it for a hot second? When it comes to this pasta dish, the pro is pretty…
Cauliflower, Leek, and White Cheddar Soup with Thyme
My fraaanndssss! Helloooo! I’ve missed you, dearly. But so glad we’re reunited again. And there couldn’t be better circumstances for our little parley. Because today, we’re whipping up this completely delicious cauliflower and leek soup. And if you take out the cheese [WARNING: DON’T DO THIS, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. CHEESE IS LIFE.], it basically has negative calories….
White Bean and Spinach Braised Chicken Thighs [One Pot Dish!]
So simple, and so easy. Almost embarrassingly so – but just almost. If this recipe wasn’t totally delicious, embarrassment may appropriate. But it’s not… so we’re safe. *phew* So recently, the sous chef has been giving me a hard time about “all the butter, cream, cheese, and oil” that I cook with [insert eye roll here]….
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…
Pesto Chicken with Spaghetti Squash and Kale
So, I’ve made no secret of my love for pesto. In fact, I profess it quite often: take exhibit A. But I insist on basil pesto. I love arugula, kale, and spinach – you name it – as much as the next person. But it shouldn’t go in pesto. Basil goes in pesto. That’s my story, and…
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…
