My friends! A hiatus it has been for sure. But very happy to be reunited with you – and mostly because these ridiculously delicious General Tso nuggets are comin’ in hot (with any luck to YOUR kitchen). These babies might be slightly labor intensive, but trust me, it’s labor of love. One very well worth it….

Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Pasta
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,…
Swedish Meatballs
Helllooooo, frands! We’re officially over one week into the new year, so it’s totally cool to eat carbs again. You’re welcome. Detox soup and kale salad were fun for a few days, don’t get me wrong, but these Swedish meatballs and creamy pasta was everythinggggg I needed in my life: juicy little nuggets of meat swimming…
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,…
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…
Skillet Beef and Broccoli
So first things first – after trying this beef and broccoli, the sous chef immediately states that this “tastes like real beef and broccoli…” I couldn’t help but laugh, because it is really, really difficult to make beef and broccoli taste like chicken, cupcakes, seafood, or anything other than beef and broccoli – because, you…
Roasted Greek Chicken Thighs with Artichokes and Bacon
This is probably as close to a one-pot dish as I’m going to get [minus the slow cooker… but even then I struggle. Exhibit a) red wine braised short ribs]. As much as the sous chef would have loved for me to actually create a one-pot dish, I am obsessed with browning food first because, well,…
Pan-Seared Rib-Eye Steaks in a Brandy & Rosemary Cream Sauce
My friends, this is one of my absolute favorite dinners – and with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, this has your special someone’s name written all over it. Listen, there’s no denying I am a huge fan of serving sauce with a side of protein. Yes, in that order. And I may or may…
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…
