Helloooo, my frannnnds! This recipe is so colorful, so bright, SO delicious, andddd…. it’s pretty much perfect [so modest, I know]. The sous chef and I have been going a teensyy weensy bit overboard on cauliflower rice [because, hello, Trader Joe’s pre-riced cauliflower has been nothing short of life changing] and this will give you every….

Crispy Shrimp Tacos with a Sriracha-Chili Aioli
Oh my gosh, ya’ll. THESE TACOS. I am at a total loss for words to describe the insane deliciousness of these puppies. I’m talking life-changing tacos. Is that possible? It totally is. I mean, texture and flavor HEAVEN… *hears angels singing* This might actually be the most perfect recipe to ever come out of our kitchen [the sous…
Slow Cooker Chicken Curry
FRIENDS! I feel like I’m on a comfort food bender and let’s just say I wouldn’t have it any other way. My pants, on the other hand, may feel slightly different — just a hunch I have — but I wouldn’t want to jump to conclusions [#spandexforlyfe]. Also, pro tip for the holidays: you don’t…
Queso Fundido with Chorizo
First of all, queso is lyfe #wordsofwisdom. While that pretty much sums up just about everything for me, I can blab about queso probably forever… And ever. So of course when the sous chef and I order Mexican food, I naturally order an inappropriate amount of queso, and you know, my side order is basically the entree…
Taco Salad
My friends, we seriously need to taco bout this [insert photo of everyone laughing at my joke. Pictured: only me.]. Taco salad is my jam. My bread and butter. The yin to my yang. Okay, okay, you get it. And I love this salad for so many reasons. Salty, spicy, crunchy. It’s what salad dreams…
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…
Grilled Summer Chipotle Corn Salad
Let me introduce to you one of my most favorite, simple, and embarrassingly easy side dishes. So as a general thing, the sous chef and I don’t eat a ton of starchy things — unless of course we’re carbloading on pasta to ensure we have enough energy to get through our favorite Netflix show — but…
Southwest Spatchcock Chicken with a Chipotle-Lime Crema
My friends, this is the stuff that dreams are made of. The smokiness of the chicken, the crispiness of the skin…. and yes, you know exactly where I’m going with this: the sauce. It is 100% acceptable [read: expected] that you use an inappropriate amount of sauce with this chicken. Because the sauce is just…
Tex-Mex Pasta Salad
Frankly, I may be biased – and have a mildly unhealthy addiction to tex-mex food [which, I’m totally okay with, for the record] – but this pasta salad is basically the QUEEN of pasta salads. Because let’s just say that the dressing we tossed this baby in made all my sauce dreams come true. Sauce…
Spicy Shrimp with an Avocado-Cilantro Dipping Sauce
This is basically a summer shrimp cocktail. And it’s a perfect combination: spicy shrimp with a cool, avocado dipping sauce that discernibly tastes like heaven. The end. Okay, okay – though that sums it up to a tee, this dipping sauce deserves a bit more of a shout out. So the sous chef and I shamelessly…
