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 […]

For years I have used homemade chicken broth and stock for cooking. It’s convenient, it’s low-stakes and I found some pretty good store-bought brands over the years. But this past fall I thought I’d revisit making my own chicken stock at home just to see if I really could tell the difference. And I am […]

To no one’s surprise, we can thank my cravings for this one! I have been dreaming of the French Onion soup I had in Lyon, France last month but I wanted less of a soup vibe and more of a hearty roast vibe. And that was when I was like what about French Onion soup […]

We are fully entering soup season and for my next one in the queue I’m ladling up a broccoli cheddar soup that is so decadent you will cancel all your plans and spend the evening with your new bestie, this soup. This Broccoli Cheddar Soup is everything I want on colder, darker days: it’s creamy […]
