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…
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…
Sweet Potato Gnocchi with a Rosemary and White Cheddar Cheese Sauce
Y’all… these are basically delicious little pillows of sweet potato joy. Morsels of heaven, if you will… you know, drowning in a rich, creamy cheese sauce [*wishes I was drowning in this cream sauce… jealousy immediately sets in*]. Honestly though, gnocchi is one of my most favorite things to make/eat/all of the above. I guess…
Goat Cheese Risotto with Caramelized Onions and Bacon
In the spirit of the season, I feel morally compelled to start out by saying what I’m thankful for: and let’s just say that stretchy pants is right at the top of my list. I’m also so relieved it’s seasonally appropriate to carb-load, because risotto has never been SO creamy and SO decadent [enter: the stretchy pants]….
Creamy Ricotta and Sage Mashed Cauliflower
I’m a big fan of mashed cauliflower. I’m generally obsessed with roasted cauliflower anyway [you get that delicious caramelized golden crust on those puppies, and yes, puhleazzeeee], and mash it up with some cheese, butter, herbs, and a teensy bit more CHEESE? Dee-lish. We served this over top of my absolute fave: steaks slathered in…
Crispy Parmesan-Bread Crumb Brussels Sprouts
Ya’ll, brussels sprouts are my jam. AS THEY DESERVEDLY SHOULD BE. *these crispy parmesan-bread crumb brussels sprouts to be exact* but we’ll get to that… And even though they’re available year round, I love when they’re in season and grocery stores carry the huge, fresh stalks of them! I get irrationally excited about the stalks…
Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore
Oh. my. goodness. gracious. This recipe. It’s basically comfort heaven. Or chicken cacciatore heaven. I absolutely love chicken cacciatore, and this recipe is pretty much the exclamation point on that statement. First of all, it simmers for hours, creating this hearty, stew-like yumminess PACKED with melt-in-your-mouth chicken thighs, onions, peppers, mushrooms, herbs — just so, so…
Fall Harvest Kale Salad with a Honey-Apple Cider Vinaigrette
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,…
