Also known as, the best fit-back-into-your-pre-holiday-pants recipe, without missing a flavor beat. That’s right. This is so. so. so. good. I’ve made variations of shrimp cauliflower fried rice recipes in the past, and I can tell you right now: this is leaps and bounds more delicious, and SO satisfying [more on my secret ingredients in a…

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…
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…
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…
Chinese Dumpling Soup
YESSSSS! It’s no secret soup is my jam. I’ll take a hug in a bowl any day. And with 2018 peeking around the corner, we all know we’re going to kick-start that 4 day-long diet/gym routine before we don’t see results and immediately revert to old habits [read: exercise = lifting 8 oz. glasses of…
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 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 +…
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…
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…
