Heellloooooo! Are you basking in August tomato glory? I sure am… I’ve basically been over here debating whether these gorgeous heirloom tomatoes are just too gosh darn beautiful to eat. I mean, stunners right here. But honestly, they’re even more delicious than they are beautiful, so they kinda didn’t even stand a chance.I absolutely L.O.V.E. going…

Spaghetti Squash Aglio E Olio with Sausage and Kale
My friends, the struggle is real. My heart says pasta, and my diet says wine no. This is one of my favorite lightened up versions of aglio e olio to make. And in my opinion, it’s just. as. satisfying. Is it because there’s three pounds a [very generous] cup of cheese in it? Maybe. And…
Rigatoni Pasta in a Sun Dried Tomato and Basil Cream Sauce
Oh, hi! Fancy seeing you here… when there just happens to be the best ever dreamy pasta recipe… fortuity, I’m sure… Now they say there are pros and cons in every situation, right? So can we just chat about it for a hot second? When it comes to this pasta dish, the pro is pretty…
Grilled Hot Italian Sausage, Caramelized Onion, and Pesto Pizza
I’m totally going to redeem myself with this pizza after posting so. many. salads. This was ridiculously delicious, and oh so indulgent. So the sous chef is originally from New Jersey, and whenever we decide to order a pizza, he swears I have a completely unsophisticated pizza palate and like “garbage” pizza. Because, you know, being…
Skillet Beef and Broccoli
So first things first – after trying this beef and broccoli, the sous chef immediately states that this “tastes like real beef and broccoli…” I couldn’t help but laugh, because it is really, really difficult to make beef and broccoli taste like chicken, cupcakes, seafood, or anything other than beef and broccoli – because, you…
Spicy Enchilada Meatballs
My favorite dishes are ones that are most practical to eat with a spoon rather than a fork. Because, you know, the spoon’s a vehicle for sauce, duh [um, #saucegamegoals]. And be still my heart, the sous chef suggested the spoons. So many reasons why I married this guy. This one is up there. I was…
One Pot Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
Pleaseeee don’t be mad at me. I know, I know. I’m supposed to be moving onto spring, and here I am, whipping up one of the yummiest comfort food recipes ideal for, like, you know, January. But in my defense, even though it’s mid-March, mother nature in her crazy way drops snow and ice on…
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…
Thai Shrimp Red Curry Bowls + Zoodles [Whole30]
HALPPP! It’s official. I need to sign up for soupaholics anonymous pretty much stat. Like, soup is overflowing in pots, tupperware, it’s everywhereeeee. I try and break it up with normal-ish food, like Mexican cauliflower rice, or the cheesy meatball skillet, but I’m basically putting on a front and deceiving everyone into thinking I don’t have a soup problem….
Smoked Ham and White Cheddar Fritters with a Mustard-Cheese Sauce
So the sous chef and I are very much so looking forward to vacation in Mexico, and have been diligently working on our beach bodies. But ‘beach bodies’ is really open to interpretation, right? And if our diet has consisted solely of cheese-filled nuggets, and our goal is to wear moo moos on the beach, I’d…
