So I am absolutely in love with everything about these Greek gyros. First of all, the tzatziki is to die for… like, I kid you not, the sous chef literally eats this by the spoonful when I make it. And there’s a beautiful crunch from the tomato, cucumber, and red onion salad… you know, topped with crumbly,…

Thai Chopped Chicken Salad with a Ginger-Peanut Dressing
Hello…! I’m so excited to share this salad with you. This beautiful bowl of a rainbow is sure to brighten your Tuesday. And aside from this being a super healthy salad [read: more calories saved for dessert wine], it’s also so so yummy. You know, mid-summer, I find nothing more refreshing than a crisp, cool salad…
Summer Chicken Cacciatore
Y’all. You know when it’s mid-summer, sweltering, and all you want is a salad good ol’ comfort food pretty much appropriate for February? Whew. I knew it wasn’t just me. See, we bond over so many things – SO glad we have each other. Welp, good news, my friends. This summer rendition of chicken cacciatore is just…
Grilled Summer Chipotle Corn Salad
Let me introduce to you one of my most favorite, simple, and embarrassingly easy side dishes. So as a general thing, the sous chef and I don’t eat a ton of starchy things — unless of course we’re carbloading on pasta to ensure we have enough energy to get through our favorite Netflix show — but…
Southwest Spatchcock Chicken with a Chipotle-Lime Crema
My friends, this is the stuff that dreams are made of. The smokiness of the chicken, the crispiness of the skin…. and yes, you know exactly where I’m going with this: the sauce. It is 100% acceptable [read: expected] that you use an inappropriate amount of sauce with this chicken. Because the sauce is just…
Spring Marinated Asparagus with Hard Boiled Egg, Capers, and Basil
Hi! So happy you stopped by – because this asparagus recipe is a game changer for your spring recipe rotation. Now, the sous chef and I love just grilling and roasting plain asparagus [olive oil, salt, pepper — you can’t go wrong] – but this is such a perfect side dish with a little extra…

Spring Cobb Salad with a Champagne Vinaigrette
Nothing to see here, friends. Nothing to see here. EXCEPT THIS INSANELY GORGEOUS AND CRAZY DELICIOUS SPRING COBB SALAD. Whew… sorry, had to get that out. This is definitely worth seeing. And even better: worth making. As in, stop everything you’re doing, find a cutting board, pour a glass of wine, fry up some bacon, and…
Pesto Chicken with Spaghetti Squash and Kale
So, I’ve made no secret of my love for pesto. In fact, I profess it quite often: take exhibit A. But I insist on basil pesto. I love arugula, kale, and spinach – you name it – as much as the next person. But it shouldn’t go in pesto. Basil goes in pesto. That’s my story, and…
Grilled Red Onion and Zucchini Salad with a Smoked Balsamic Vinaigrette
I don’t know about you, but I’m still trying to grasp that it’s already March. It feels like we were literally just carving pumpkins and making gingerbread waffles. And yet, here we are, getting our vegetable gardens prepped and dusting off our grills. So, the sous chef is a bit of a grill fanatic and loves…
