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…
Kale Chicken Caesar Salad
My friends! This is so simple, and so easy. No frills. No bells. No whistles. That is, of course, if you don’t consider a dreamy Caesar dressing something to write home about [and it totally is!!]. I, for one, absolutely love Caesar salads. Of course, it’s without question because of the salty, smooth, creamy dressing that gives…
Swedish Meatballs
Helllooooo, frands! We’re officially over one week into the new year, so it’s totally cool to eat carbs again. You’re welcome. Detox soup and kale salad were fun for a few days, don’t get me wrong, but these Swedish meatballs and creamy pasta was everythinggggg I needed in my life: juicy little nuggets of meat swimming…
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…
Creamy Three-Cheese Macaroni with a Parmesan-Bread Crumb Topping
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 +…
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…
