Let’s just be totally clear: potato salad is not photogenic. I almost didn’t even share this insanely creamy, rich potato salad with you because it’s, um, not so easy on the eyes. BUT! The more I thought about it, the more I knew I needed to [knowing you would totally understand it’s not the prettiest recipe…

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.

Because listen, I don’t proclaim to be a pierogi aficionado by any stretch of the imagination [cough, sous chef,…

Helllooooo, frands! We’re officially over one week into the new year, so it’s totally cool to eat carbs again. You’re welcome.

Asian Kale Salad with a Sriracha-Peanut Dressing
This is almost too pretty too eat. *just almost*. Because this salad is so delicious, and so satisfying! I clearly have an obsession with kale salads (exhibits A, B, C, for starters), and this one does not disappoint. In fact, I think this is my new favorite dinner [and obvs should be yours, too]. It’s literally…
Antipasto Salad with an Italian Red Wine Vinaigrette
Well, hello 2018! Can we just talk about WHERE IN THE WORLD 2017 WENT?! I feel like I blinked, and it was gone. For me, the new year is always a simple reminder of how precious time is, and to truly appreciate every single day. Super sappy, I know. *sips wine, wipes my tears* KIDDING….
