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….

Slow Cooker Moroccan-Spiced Sweet Potato and Kale Detox Soup
My friends, if you’re looking for something dull and boring, keep on movin’. Because this soup right here is anything but — it’s zesty, hearty, soul-warming, AND even good for you. Not to mention: easy, peasy! Does it get better than that? A satisfying guilt-free dinner? Nuh-uh. No way. So the sous chef totally has…
Classic Eggplant Parmesan
Helloooo, frandsss! It’s almost Thanksgiving! A day to give thanks, a day to celebrate family and friends, and oh! oh! Food, too, of course! I am a huge lover of Thanksgiving classics: the bird, the stuffing, the gravy [GIVE ME ALL THE SAUCE]. But y’all. This is a PERFECT vegetarian option to have available — and…
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…
Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore
Oh. my. goodness. gracious. This recipe. It’s basically comfort heaven. Or chicken cacciatore heaven. I absolutely love chicken cacciatore, and this recipe is pretty much the exclamation point on that statement. First of all, it simmers for hours, creating this hearty, stew-like yumminess PACKED with melt-in-your-mouth chicken thighs, onions, peppers, mushrooms, herbs — just so, so…
Chicken Mozzarella with a Hearty Tomato Sauce
Are you as excited about this chicken mozzarella as I am? WHEW. So glad to hear it. My most favorite thing about this: the ridiculous texture + CHEESE + SAUCE = goals. And that’s all I have to say about that. Okay, not really. I have a lot more to say. Because I’m basically gushing about…
Spaghetti Squash Bolognese
Ya’ll. I know it’s still August, but I’m so overly excited for fall that it’s probably bad form — but I’m totally alright with that. I’m basically over here sitting in a hay field waiting for a tractor full of pumpkins in a chunky scarf and boots, sipping on wine pumpkin-flavored coffee, frolicking in the leaves. Are hay fields…
Spaghetti Squash with a Ricotta and Roasted Tomato Cream Sauce
Heellloooooo! Are you basking in August tomato glory? I sure am… I’ve basically been over here debating whether these gorgeous heirloom tomatoes are just too gosh darn beautiful to eat. I mean, stunners right here. But honestly, they’re even more delicious than they are beautiful, so they kinda didn’t even stand a chance.I absolutely L.O.V.E. going…
Summer Chicken Cacciatore
Y’all. You know when it’s mid-summer, sweltering, and all you want is a salad good ol’ comfort food pretty much appropriate for February? Whew. I knew it wasn’t just me. See, we bond over so many things – SO glad we have each other. Welp, good news, my friends. This summer rendition of chicken cacciatore is just…
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]….
