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 Crab Bisque with Sherry and Old Bay
My oh my, how I love thee. It’s rich. creamy. decadent. And packed with succulent crab meat. This has to be one of the most satisfying and delicious soups known to man. I’m talking 15 out of 10 would make this every single day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Weird? Maybe. The best decision ever?…
Slow Cooker Chicken and Wild Rice Stew
How do we celebrate fall, my friends? That’s right, we break out the sweatpants, and eat ourselves into a beautiful food coma. And of course, enjoy every single carb-loaded bite along the way. So GOOD NEWS on that front… this slow cooker chicken and wild rice stew will answer all of your comfort food prayers, and comes…
Creamy Pumpkin-Sage Pasta Alfredo
Welp, it’s mid-October and it FINALLY feels like fall. I mean, I was literally on the verge of finding a sacrificial lamb to send up to mother nature to put an end to this swamp-like weather (which we’ve been suffering through since, like, April I’m pretty sure #survivors, amiright?). But ANYWHO, let’s all take a moment…
Bangers and [Cauliflower] Mash with a Stout-Onion Gravy
MARCH! Finally, March. I’m one of those people who loves winter for mostly one reason: snow. And snow days. Cozy, snuggly snow days with wine hot chocolate and lots of snowmen [I typically leave the shoveling to the sous chef, naturally]. But that said, we’ve maybe had a DUSTING of snow all winter — which…
Bacon and Cheddar Pierogies with Caramelized Onions
Pierogies! It’s what’s for dinner! Maybe an appetizer would be more appropriate? Appropriate, shmappropriate. I’D EAT THESE BABIES FOR BREAKFAST. We can go ahead throw appropriateness out the window — right alongside any notion of traditional pierogies. Because listen, I don’t proclaim to be a pierogi aficionado by any stretch of the imagination [cough, sous chef,…
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…
Sweet Potato Gnocchi with a Rosemary and White Cheddar Cheese Sauce
Y’all… these are basically delicious little pillows of sweet potato joy. Morsels of heaven, if you will… you know, drowning in a rich, creamy cheese sauce [*wishes I was drowning in this cream sauce… jealousy immediately sets in*]. Honestly though, gnocchi is one of my most favorite things to make/eat/all of the above. I guess…
Smoked Gouda and Bacon Cauliflower Au Gratin
Fraaanndsssss, hello! Happy hibernation! No? That’s just me who wants to sit in the corner, eating heaping spoonfuls of this drool-worthy cauliflower gratin this winter? Well, if you haven’t already gotten on board with this extreme sport [that I’m clearly a huge proponent of], you’re welcome to take part in this glory with me any day…
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…
