Welp, it’s mid-October and it FINALLY feels like fall. I mean, I was literally on the verge of finding a sacrificial lamb to send up to mother nature to put an end to this swamp-like weather (which we’ve been suffering through since, like, April I’m pretty sure #survivors, amiright?). But ANYWHO, let’s all take a moment…

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…
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….
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…
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. I’ve struggled, grappled, waffled, and FINALLY came to a determination: this *ridiculous* macaroni and cheese would hands down be my choice for a final meal on planet earth. Ooey, gooey, creamy,…
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,…
Broccoli and Cheddar Spaghetti Squash Boats
MY FRIENDS! This is everything. By everything, I mean my new favorite dinner. Ever. And that will hold true until my next new favorite dinner [as per usual]. But that’s beside the point! The point is: these babies are DELICIOUS. Like, I wanted to eat dinner soooo slowly so that I could savor every bite….
Queso Fundido with Chorizo
First of all, queso is lyfe #wordsofwisdom. While that pretty much sums up just about everything for me, I can blab about queso probably forever… And ever. So of course when the sous chef and I order Mexican food, I naturally order an inappropriate amount of queso, and you know, my side order is basically the entree…
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!…
