Easy Weeknight Meals

There are soups you make because it’s cold. There are soups you make because you forgot to meal plan. And then there is this soup! This is my Heal Me Now Chicken Soup and I make it when I am feeling a little under the weather, either physically or emotionally. There is something about bringing […]

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 […]

The 15-Minute “Umami Bomb” Fried Rice: Your Weeknight Glow-Up Has Arrived! It has been a minute since I made fried rice but I have always loved it. It’s quick, can be perfect for cleaning out the fridge of veggies on their last will to live, and deeply satisfying! This quick, flavorful fried rice features browned […]

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 […]

I’m convinced that anyone who says they do not like salad, has never had a good salad. You can fight with me about it in the comments! When I make a salad that is the main event, I want it to present like a 5 course meal. I don’t want anyone even close to thinking, […]

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 […]

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.
