Well, isn’t this fun? Savory, cheesy stuffed sweet potatoes. A new recipe! I am officially posting a new recipe. It’s only been since July.  Listen, with moving across the country and settling into our new home, creating recipes has been a little less than a priority. But what I realized is I have a great […]

I am an extra creamy chicken piccata kind of girl. More sauce! More cream! This is basically my life motto. Chicken Piccata was one of the first dishes I learned to make when we got married. It is quick and easy. I keep most of the ingredients on hand at all times. We eat this […]

Listen, I have craved chili approximately 0 times in my life. And that’s being generous. But the weekend after Thanksgiving I wanted two things, cold weather and chili. I could not do much about the cold weather because it is Southern California. But we did put our tree up after basically rearranging our tiny space […]

This title is a little  misleading. What is more important than noodles? Exactly. Fall is here and I am finding my worn path back to the stove. I love that path. It’s been finding respite because this past summer I was making new trails to the grill, to the grass for picnics, to the countertop […]

We made it. We came out the other side of the holidays. Maybe some of us came refreshed. Others rugged and worn. A few just plain cold (yup! yup!). But here we are. Hi 2016! Comfort is always the name of the game after a lapse of time in the kitchen. And these paleo (optional) […]

Bacon. Wrapped. Sweet. Potatoes. I should just stop writing and give you the recipe. But let me prove their worth. I have taken these things to no less than 4 holiday parties over the past two weeks. They never last. They always please. What more do we need? The best part is how simple they are. […]

Listen. Take the day off and make this. Sometimes Jeremy and I find ourselves with an overabundance of fruit that is… near death. And I am like, “SAVE ALL THE FRUIT!” The first thought that occurs is a no brainer. Fruit salad. Except my fruit salad might look a little different than the world’s fruit […]

When Jeremy travels, the first night he’s gone I have to make comfort food. I almost always go to our local meat market and get a filet mignon make drool worthy, buttery steak. Steak is my happy place. If I don’t want to do steak then I almost always default to pasta. All. The. Pasta. […]

Someone asked me this week why I love my 30s so much. I had a lot to say about that. But I think Ann Quindlen really said it, “Failure is so terrifying to the young. So is unpredictability. They’re afraid they’ll get it wrong. You have to use cookbooks for a long time before you realize that […]

Whew – this post. ALL THE RESEARCH went into this post. All the questions I wanted to know about why and how to make chicken broth is in here. I hope this becomes your one stop guide for broth. Ever since stepping into the kitchen and starting to learn a little bit more about cooking […]
