Welp, my friends. Spring is here. And in honor of sabotaging all bathing suit season goals, I bring you this insanely delicious recipe. Truth be told, I think we all just need to agree that bathing suit season is overrated [I-will-sit-on-the-beach-in-sweats, thankyouverymuch. #trendsetter]. But you know what’s not overrated? Lucky for us, this creamy, spicy,…

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…
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…
Pan-Seared Chicken in a White Wine and Sage Cream Sauce
Hellooooo, friend! This is the feel good, heartwarming, hug-for-dinner comfort food you’ve been looking for – and it will not disappoint. It is so so good. And so so simple. I have a motto in life that I hold near and dear to my heart [but closer to my stomach, obviously], and it goes something like this: extra sauce,…
Taco Salad
My friends, we seriously need to taco bout this [insert photo of everyone laughing at my joke. Pictured: only me.]. Taco salad is my jam. My bread and butter. The yin to my yang. Okay, okay, you get it. And I love this salad for so many reasons. Salty, spicy, crunchy. It’s what salad dreams…
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…
Sun Dried Tomato and Basil Hummus
My fraaands, this sun dried tomato and basil hummus is errrrythang. It’s exactly what every appetizer should be this summer: first and foremost, EASY. So simple. And packed with flavor. Flavor that is literally better than any store bought version of hummus — without question. Something everyone can loveee on [like, actually… it’s vegan, y’all]. I always…
Roasted Greek Chicken Thighs with Artichokes and Bacon
This is probably as close to a one-pot dish as I’m going to get [minus the slow cooker… but even then I struggle. Exhibit a) red wine braised short ribs]. As much as the sous chef would have loved for me to actually create a one-pot dish, I am obsessed with browning food first because, well,…
Spicy Sriracha Vietnamese Pho Soup [30 minute recipe!]
Growing up in the Washington, D.C. area, pho soup is a staple at densely populated Vietnamese restaurants across the region. So of course – my favorite thing being a homebody and drinking copious amounts of wine with the sous chef and our dog-child – why go to a restaurant, when you can make it right…
Pan-Seared Rib-Eye Steaks in a Brandy & Rosemary Cream Sauce
My friends, this is one of my absolute favorite dinners – and with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, this has your special someone’s name written all over it. Listen, there’s no denying I am a huge fan of serving sauce with a side of protein. Yes, in that order. And I may or may…
