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…

Crispy Shrimp Tacos with a Sriracha-Chili Aioli
Oh my gosh, ya’ll. THESE TACOS. I am at a total loss for words to describe the insane deliciousness of these puppies. I’m talking life-changing tacos. Is that possible? It totally is. I mean, texture and flavor HEAVEN… *hears angels singing* This might actually be the most perfect recipe to ever come out of our kitchen [the sous…
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…
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.

Panko Crusted Pork Tenderloin with a White Wine-Mustard Cream Sauce
So the sous chef and I are pretty much permanently scarred from having leather-like pork chops as kids […love you, mom]. So in all the time we’ve known each other, pork chops are just not something we’ve ever had the desire to cook – probably because no amount of sauce could have saved them, and that’s an unfortunate deal…
Smoked Ham and White Cheddar Fritters with a Mustard-Cheese Sauce
So the sous chef and I are very much so looking forward to vacation in Mexico, and have been diligently working on our beach bodies. But ‘beach bodies’ is really open to interpretation, right? And if our diet has consisted solely of cheese-filled nuggets, and our goal is to wear moo moos on the beach, I’d…
Crispy Baked Buffalo Chicken Tenders
You guys, I have great news. Believe it or not, these baked buffalo chicken tenders are magical. The sous chef is a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan – born and raised, through and through. And this past Sunday, the Steelers won the divisional round against Kansas City – and guess what we whipped up for a game day…
