I clearly love chickpea stews and curries! Even in the heat of the summer, nothing is better than a comforting bowl of a soup, and even better when it’s garnished with creamy & crunchy toppings! This chickpea stew can be made in just about an hour (with most of that time being hands-off simmering time), … More Spiced Chickpea Coconut Stew
You can really never have too many biscuit recipes – and this one has to make it into your rotation! I always get a lot of scallions when I buy groceries. I love that they add a little freshness and crisp onion flavor to pretty much any meal I make. Whether I’m making Asian, Mexican, … More Sour Cream & Onion Biscuits
I don’t have a ton of pasta recipes here, because frankly we just don’t eat it very often. The other day though, I had a super specific craving for spinach artichoke dip. I did some digging online to see how I could turn this into a respectable dinner (don’t get me wrong I’d certainly plow … More Spinach Artichoke Pasta
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)

Sometimes it can be difficult to find recipes that don’t make a whole ton of something. With cookies, I often end up freezing half the dough (like here), but with something like muffins that’s not really an option. Luckily, the recipe this is based from had 2 eggs, so I was easily able to divide … More Small Batch Corn Muffins
Maybe it’s just a symptom of the times, but I’m typically not a potato-unless-it’s-a-french-fry-fan… and all the sudden I’ve been craving potatoes in all different ways! I remembered eating frozen cheese & potato pierogi as a kid and how buttery and comforting they were. I wanted to recreate them, but honestly didn’t feel like going … More Easy Pierogi Style Wontons
I’m not sure how in the world I don’t have this recipe on my site. I truly make a variety of this every week – it’s such a staple meal in my house. It’s so flavorful and easy, and I love that I can basically use whatever I have in the fridge and pantry. In … More Easy Thai Green Curry
I use my instant pot a few times a week, usually to make rice, shredded meat, or dried beans. This week I decided to go for a bit of a combo situation. This soup is probably one of the easiest recipes I’ve made in my instant pot. It’s also super healthy and filling! Let me … More Chicken, White Bean and Spinach Soup (Instant Pot)
In a shock to no one, I’ve found it extremely hard to get out of my holiday eating routines. Obviously each meal should have a dessert! And a bag of chips before bed…wonderful! HA So I’m making every attempt to find creative and fun (lol) ways to bulk up my veggie intake. Trader Joe’s had … More Sugar Snap Pea Salad
During the hot summer months, almost every night of the week, Andrew and I will sit on the patio outside and grill anything and everything in our fridge. Recently, we had some corn on the cob and instead of just grilling it and eating off the cob, I decided to whip up a salad using … More Grilled Corn and Avocado Salad
I don’t know about you guys, but my weekday lunches are typically whatever sad leftovers remain from the previous night’s dinner. Every once in awhile though, I make something for dinner that I’m pumped to have the next day for lunch. This easy Greek lentil salad is one of those things. In fact, it actually … More Greek Lentil Salad
Nine times out of ten on my weekly grocery runs, I consistently grab the same veggies. You can almost always find: spinach, broccoli, and brussels sprouts in my cart. Last week, we started getting some warmer weather in new england, and the thought of turning on the oven and roasting veggies was NOT an idea … More Shredded Brussels Sprout and Lentil Salad
Even though spring has finally arrived, the northeast obviously didn’t get the memo. So until we actually see some greenery, I’m still 100% on the comfort food train. I’m not the biggest eggplant fan, but we’ve been trying to eat less carbs lately so I figured it was worth a shot. I’ve gotta say, you … More Healthy Eggplant Rollatini
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
