Hellooooo, fraaaaands! I have a big announcement — decision, if you will — and I can’t wait to share the gooey deets. I mean, this is big. I’ve struggled, grappled, waffled, and FINALLY came to a determination: this *ridiculous* macaroni and cheese would hands down be my choice for a final meal on planet earth. Ooey, gooey, creamy,…

Slow Cooker Red Wine Pot Roast
So it’s supposed to get down to 23 degrees tonight, and this is *everything* I need to cope. And by cope, I mean, bring on the cold weather, give me three heaping bowls of this hearty, rich, melt-in-your mouth, ah-mazing pot roast — and sure, twist my arm, a bottle of red wine, too. *Immediately…
Creamy Lobster Bisque with Sherry and Thyme
Lobster bisque is one of my absolute FAVORITE things to devour. If it’s on the menu, I order it. And naturally compare, judge, and pretend as if I’m the arbiter for all lobster bisques that have ever lived. Totally legit, yeah? I clearly have an incurable obsession with soup [exhibits A, B, and C +…
Sage and Butternut Squash Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken pot pie IS fall. Winter, too, for that matter. But definitely fall. I mean, I’d eat chicken pot pie on the 4th of July in sweltering heat because I’m actually incapable of NOT devouring chicken pot pie… i.e. having thirds for that matter. It really is the ultimate comfort food. And it reminds me of so much…
Broccoli and Cheddar Spaghetti Squash Boats
MY FRIENDS! This is everything. By everything, I mean my new favorite dinner. Ever. And that will hold true until my next new favorite dinner [as per usual]. But that’s beside the point! The point is: these babies are DELICIOUS. Like, I wanted to eat dinner soooo slowly so that I could savor every bite….
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…
Asian Beef Stir Fry
Y’all, I am forever in search of quick, easy, saucy [read: DELICIOUS], lower-carb [more carbs for wine, duh] recipes. And this, my friends, pretty much checks all of those boxes. It’s also prepared in one dish, so seriously no fuss here. It’s warm, spicy, filling — probably as close to healthy comfort food as it gets [minus…
Classic Homemade Apple Pie
Is it inappropriate to post apple pie recipes during 80 degree weather? ABSOLUTELY NOT. In fact, in my humble opinion, mother nature should be the one apologizing for her inappropriate behavior… um, hi, it’s October. And so let’s just say I am MORE THAN HAPPY partaking in fall festivities despite this savage summer weather. We’re basically doing anything we…
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…
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…
