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]….
Slow Cooker Red Wine Pot Roast
So it’s supposed to get down to 23 degrees tonight, and this is *everything* I need to cope. And by cope, I mean, bring on the cold weather, give me three heaping bowls of this hearty, rich, melt-in-your mouth, ah-mazing pot roast — and sure, twist my arm, a bottle of red wine, too. *Immediately…
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 +…
Slow Cooker Chicken Curry
FRIENDS! I feel like I’m on a comfort food bender and let’s just say I wouldn’t have it any other way. My pants, on the other hand, may feel slightly different — just a hunch I have — but I wouldn’t want to jump to conclusions [#spandexforlyfe]. Also, pro tip for the holidays: you don’t…
Sage and Butternut Squash Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken pot pie IS fall. Winter, too, for that matter. But definitely fall. I mean, I’d eat chicken pot pie on the 4th of July in sweltering heat because I’m actually incapable of NOT devouring chicken pot pie… i.e. having thirds for that matter. It really is the ultimate comfort food. And it reminds me of so much…
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,…
Classic Homemade Apple Pie
Is it inappropriate to post apple pie recipes during 80 degree weather? ABSOLUTELY NOT. In fact, in my humble opinion, mother nature should be the one apologizing for her inappropriate behavior… um, hi, it’s October. And so let’s just say I am MORE THAN HAPPY partaking in fall festivities despite this savage summer weather. We’re basically doing anything we…
Zucchini Noodle Chicken Alfredo
Hi, hi! So, pasta is a total weakness of mine, and I can’t help but indulge from time to time. I mean, we’re talking dreamy, creamy, ridiculously decadent pasta dishes. Because you know, #yolo. And while my heart basically says pasta all day erry day, the mirror says no way girlfraand. So, you know, compromise!…
Steamed Kale and Summer Vegetable Salad with a Lemon-Basil Vinaigrette
Hello, fraaaands! I bring to you the most delicious salad ever that is sure to cool you off in this crazy heatwave. I don’t know about you, but it’s like 250 degrees [maybe minus 150, but we’re close here, we’re close, okay?] in Washington D.C. and we are in full-on SWAMP mode. Like, I’ve permanently hibernated…
