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…
Mexican-Style Cauliflower “Rice” with Chorizo
NEW FAVORITE DINNER ALERTTT…. um, sorry for shouting, but the whole world should really here this (consider it a public service announcement…). This Mexican-style cauliflower “rice” is seriously so delicious – and I don’t even feel guilty for eating it [read: I’m allowed another glass of wine]. And if there’s a way to cut calories, make…
Cheesy Meatball Skillet in a Spicy Tomato Sauce

But this one of those dishes that practically warms the…
Spicy Black Bean Soup with Avocado & Sour Cream
The sous chef and I are going to Mexico in February, so channeling my inner excitement to eat Mexican food and drink wine [Corona’s] on the beach for days, I thought I’d whip up a batch of spicy black bean soup. Okay, okay, in the back of my mind was I thinking Ohmygosh Mexico is only…
Lobster Ravioli with a Creamy Parmesan-Tomato Sauce
I’d give just about anything to drown in this creamy tomato sauce – like, literally. So last night, I’m hovering over the range “taste testing” the sauce by the spoonful, and I ask the sous chef if I need to make more (for the two of us, by the way…) – because I have a serious phobia…
Chicken Chili Stew with Sweet Potatoes & Kale
I don’t even have words. Okay I found a couple: I was hoping – really HOPING (as in fingers crossed) – this would be delicious. And it was better than delicious. I was a bit skeptical of chicken chili – because who doesn’t love beef chili with bacon and stuff – but you guys, this…
