So can we just chat about this *perfect* fall salad? I know fall is supposed to be comfort food everything, and you’re probably rolling your eyes, asking yourself how there’s such thing as a perfect fall salad. Especially when everyone is pretty much focused on the perfect fall macaroni and cheese right about now [like, hi,…

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…
Slow Cooker Lentil and Kale Soup
I make no secret of my obsession with soup. And I’m 97% convinced mother nature is doing her damnedest to test my fortitude for whipping up everything cozy this fall — which is completely fine with me — because I’m up for the challenge. Did I mention IT’S 80 DEGREES IN OCTOBER? So, step 1…
Curried Butternut Squash Soup with Bacon and Sage
So rewind probably seven or eight years ago, and I had Indian food for the first time [I know, so uncultured]. I can’t even remember what it was about the dinner, but I swore off curry for years [thinking back, I’m legit convinced it didn’t even have curry in it — not to mention, still regretting…
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,…
Classic Penne alla Vodka
I know what you’re thinking… vodka?! But not to worry, I haven’t changed my allegiance from red wine [WHEW]. I just figure, you know, vodka sauce = more red wine for you to enjoy. Perfect logic, right? But in all seriousness, you cannot go wrong with classic penne alla vodka. Hearty pasta swimming in a…
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…
