Helloooo, my frannnnds! This recipe is so colorful, so bright, SO delicious, andddd…. it’s pretty much perfect [so modest, I know]. The sous chef and I have been going a teensyy weensy bit overboard on cauliflower rice [because, hello, Trader Joe’s pre-riced cauliflower has been nothing short of life changing] and this will give you every….

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. We can go ahead throw appropriateness out the window — right alongside any notion of traditional pierogies. Because listen, I don’t proclaim to be a pierogi aficionado by any stretch of the imagination [cough, sous chef,…
Swedish Meatballs
Helllooooo, frands! We’re officially over one week into the new year, so it’s totally cool to eat carbs again. You’re welcome. Detox soup and kale salad were fun for a few days, don’t get me wrong, but these Swedish meatballs and creamy pasta was everythinggggg I needed in my life: juicy little nuggets of meat swimming…
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…
Slow Cooker Moroccan-Spiced Sweet Potato and Kale Detox Soup
My friends, if you’re looking for something dull and boring, keep on movin’. Because this soup right here is anything but — it’s zesty, hearty, soul-warming, AND even good for you. Not to mention: easy, peasy! Does it get better than that? A satisfying guilt-free dinner? Nuh-uh. No way. So the sous chef totally has…
Greek Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki
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,…
Summer BLT Kale Salad with Garlic Croutons & Creamy Ranch
My friends, summer just got that. much. better. This salad is everything. And you’re totally going to have major FOMO if you don’t whip this baby up — so let’s not waste any time. Massaged kale salads have been a thing in our house recently, because they’re so good. And let’s be honest: the kale is basically a perfect…
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…
Tex-Mex Pasta Salad
Frankly, I may be biased – and have a mildly unhealthy addiction to tex-mex food [which, I’m totally okay with, for the record] – but this pasta salad is basically the QUEEN of pasta salads. Because let’s just say that the dressing we tossed this baby in made all my sauce dreams come true. Sauce…
Slow Cooker Barbacoa Beef Tostadas
FRAAANDDSSS… I have the best news ever to share with you. And I think you might love me for it. I think I love myself for it? I know, this display of humility is startling. But trust me, if there’s anything that calls for love, it’s undoubtedly this barbacoa beef, and that goes without question….
