Helloooo, my frannnnds! This recipe is so colorful, so bright, SO delicious, andddd…. it’s pretty much perfect [so modest, I know]. The sous chef and I have been going a teensyy weensy bit overboard on cauliflower rice [because, hello, Trader Joe’s pre-riced cauliflower has been nothing short of life changing] and this will give you every….

Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Pasta
Welp, my friends. Spring is here. And in honor of sabotaging all bathing suit season goals, I bring you this insanely delicious recipe. Truth be told, I think we all just need to agree that bathing suit season is overrated [I-will-sit-on-the-beach-in-sweats, thankyouverymuch. #trendsetter]. But you know what’s not overrated? Lucky for us, this creamy, spicy,…
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?…
Corn, Tomato, & Avocado Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette
BEHOLD, my friends. Because today I bring you the most delicious – and SIMPLE – salad ever. Like, it’s almost embarrassingly easy. Just almost. Not to mention, it’s also stunning. And SO good. I could probably eat this every single day and die a happy person. I mean, is there a better way to eat…
Grilled Cedar Planked Salmon with Asian Glaze
Ya’ll, it’s *almost* officially grilling season, and the sous chef, for one, is THRILLED. Is it because there are fewer dishes to be washed? Probably. But more than that, he’s basically obsessed with grilling/smoking/anything where he can play with woodchips/charcoal/fire [*boys will be boys*]. And hey, I am totally on board, because I can sit…
Spring Spaghetti Squash Alfredo with Shrimp
Spaghetti squash is my JAM. Is it because I mostly use it as a vehicle for sauce? Without a doubt…. andddd I wouldn’t change a thing. But seriously, this spaghetti squash alfredo doesn’t disappoint. Creamy, decadent alfredo sauce, tossed with spaghetti squash, asparagus, peas, Parmesan cheese, and delicious little nuggets of shrimp? Yesssssssssssssss. [Brb, heating up…
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,…
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…
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…
