Summer has arrived! We’ve been loving 80 degree sunny days, but I haven’t been loving doing anything related to turning on the oven or stove. This recipe is sooo easy and besides soaking the chickpeas overnight, you’re under 30 minutes away from dinner (and most of that is hands off). Feel free to omit the … More Bacon & Tomato Chickpea Stew with Pesto (Instant Pot)
Like many of you (I’m assuming), I have a list of “to make” recipes that’s about a mile long at any given time. The list spans from appetizers to desserts and full dinners to cocktails, and the range of healthy to unhealthy is fully covered. When it comes time to decide what to tackle next, … More Savory Bacon Gruyere Monkey Bread
I go through somewhat extreme phases when it comes to food. For example, I ate brussels sprouts every week for months (maybe even years) but randomly hit a brussels sprout wall and didn’t touch them for like 6 months following. I’m finally back in brussels sprouts land, and diving in head first. This recipe is nothing new, … More Sweet and Spicy Bacon Brussels Sprouts
Happy new year!! A little late I suppose, but better late than never! 😁 In just 6 days, I’m headed on a vacation to Phuket and Bangkok, Thailand and Bagan and Yangon, Myanmar. My fiancé, our friends and I have had this trip planned for awhile now, so I’ve been dreaming of noodles and other … More Healthy Loaded Baked Potato Soup
I apologize for coming into the new year filled with butter and cheese, but while everyone else is posting salads and smoothies…it’s not the worst to stand out from the crowd!

One of my favorite bloggers, Joy, recently posted that she was going to take part in a body ‘reset’. Basically, followers spend 20 days with no dairy, no gluten and no sugar. I’ve been a little excessive lately, since I’ve been traveling a lot to NYC for work (and there’s literally no bad food in NYC), … More Almond Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Dates
One of mine and Andrew’s go-to weeknight meals is burritos. Basically, whatever vegetables and protein can be sautéed and stuffed into a carb-y pocket is good with us. However, a couple years ago, in an effort to not eat a 300 calorie refined white flour bomb, I began a search for something healthier. These lavash wraps … More Breakfast Pizza
Typically when I think of cornbread, I think of spicy, bacony chili, football, and winter. However, there’s a whole other side of cornbread that pairs with BBQ, grilling and sunshine. Basically, I have come to realize that cornbread is the perfect year round side dish. Ever since I discovered cornbread made in a cast iron skillet, … More Cheddar, Scallion and Bacon Cornbread
With the super cold days starting in Boston, and football (and hockey) in full force – it is only appropriate to share my absolute favorite chili recipe. There’s nothing better than using (approx.) 1,000 corn chips to scoop up all of the deliciousness while snuggling on the couch watching the game. With just the right … More Spicy Bacon-y Game Day Chili
