This creamy ham and potato chowder was born from leftovers, pantry staples and a desire to still be in my soup era, so honestly, the trifecta! The leftovers in question? Ham. Over the holidays I made a small ham and we still had…leftover ham! So soup was born! It was so good that I was […]

For someone who loves going out to eat (🙋‍♀️), my least favorite day to go out to dinner is…Valentine’s. Between the overpriced prix-fixe menus, the desperate scramble for a 6:00 PM reservation, and my sky-high expectations (sorry, Jeremy!)…the stakes seem just a little too high.  My favorite way to celebrate? Ditching the crowds and treating […]

A few weeks ago I realized I had half of a baked potato, precisely 5 frozen chicken nuggets left, and about 1/4 of a bag of frozen corn. So naturally I made a KFC Bowl and I could not believe how yummy it was! The first time I made this it was basic, but basic […]

Just in time for the Super Bowl, I finally had to try the viral smash tacos, and let’s just say, I waited too long. These deserve all the hype! I had to put my own twist on them and so I made In-N-Out Animal Style Smash Tacos! The beef is seasoned from within, then gets […]

Introducing a dish that is high-flavor, low drama, and a one pan wonder. Everyone wins! This is the kind of dinner that makes you feel wildly competent for a Tuesday night. The oven does the heavy lifting, the spice cabinet shows off a little, and suddenly your kitchen smells like you planned this all week […]

I’ve finally tried the crispy rice that has taken the internet by storm! I knew I wanted to pair it with a spiced meat situation and so here we have my Crispy Rice Mediterranean Bowls! Making crispy rice is super easy! I use 2 cups dry rice to get about 3-4 cups cooked rice. I […]

Apparently I am turning everything into soup, and this has proved to be a very good idea! Recently, I wanted Chicken Marsala (specifically from The Cheesecake Factory and also, Cheesecake Factory hate will not be tolerated on this page!), but I also wanted soup and so we got my Chicken Marsala Soup.  A few weeks […]

This year for New Year’s Eve we’re staying in and I knew I wanted to create a new dish that was as sparkly and bright as the holiday! I wanted to steer away from beef or roasts because, we’ll get our fill of that for Christmas. But I still wanted something fun or on theme! Then […]
