MARCH! Finally, March. I’m one of those people who loves winter for mostly one reason: snow. And snow days. Cozy, snuggly snow days with wine hot chocolate and lots of snowmen [I typically leave the shoveling to the sous chef, naturally]. But that said, we’ve maybe had a DUSTING of snow all winter — which…

Kale Chicken Caesar Salad
My friends! This is so simple, and so easy. No frills. No bells. No whistles. That is, of course, if you don’t consider a dreamy Caesar dressing something to write home about [and it totally is!!]. I, for one, absolutely love Caesar salads. Of course, it’s without question because of the salty, smooth, creamy dressing that gives…
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…
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….
Classic Eggplant Parmesan
Helloooo, frandsss! It’s almost Thanksgiving! A day to give thanks, a day to celebrate family and friends, and oh! oh! Food, too, of course! I am a huge lover of Thanksgiving classics: the bird, the stuffing, the gravy [GIVE ME ALL THE SAUCE]. But y’all. This is a PERFECT vegetarian option to have available — and…
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…
Classic Penne alla Vodka
I know what you’re thinking… vodka?! But not to worry, I haven’t changed my allegiance from red wine [WHEW]. I just figure, you know, vodka sauce = more red wine for you to enjoy. Perfect logic, right? But in all seriousness, you cannot go wrong with classic penne alla vodka. Hearty pasta swimming in a…
Chicken Mozzarella with a Hearty Tomato Sauce
Are you as excited about this chicken mozzarella as I am? WHEW. So glad to hear it. My most favorite thing about this: the ridiculous texture + CHEESE + SAUCE = goals. And that’s all I have to say about that. Okay, not really. I have a lot more to say. Because I’m basically gushing about…
Spaghetti Squash Bolognese
Ya’ll. I know it’s still August, but I’m so overly excited for fall that it’s probably bad form — but I’m totally alright with that. I’m basically over here sitting in a hay field waiting for a tractor full of pumpkins in a chunky scarf and boots, sipping on wine pumpkin-flavored coffee, frolicking in the leaves. Are hay fields…
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…
