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
During a recent vacation in Thailand and Myanmar (i.e. Burma) with my fiancé and two of our best friends, we ate a ton of noodles. We definitely had noodles at LEAST once a day if not more. For instance this delicious Pad See Ew: Like this pad see ew, a lot of Thai noodle dishes we had are those … More Burmese Coconut & Chicken Noodle Soup (Ohno Kawkswe)
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
On my last grocery trip, I was meandering in the cheese section, as one does, when all the sudden I stumbled upon burrata with black truffles. Of all things good in the world, burrata is really close to the top. Put some burrata on a piece of bread and it’s dinner. Look at this glorious baby: The … More Truffle, Mushroom & Burrata Pizza with Ham
Lately, Andrew and I have started incorporating one meatless or vegan meal into our weeknight repertoire. Typically that means we focus on legumes like lentils or beans, so when I found this recipe for a coconut chickpea and sweet potato curry I was sold instantly. Not only does it come together pretty quickly (the active time … More Chickpea & Sweet Potato Coconut Curry
Once the cold weather hits, I’m 100% on board with every delicious spicy, hot, baked casserole-type dish. I’ve been following Juli from PaleOMG for awhile now on Instagram, and she often shares when people make dishes from her cookbook. Once I laid my eyes on this buffalo chicken spaghetti squash casserole, I couldn’t get it … More Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash
Football has begun! Besides focusing on my two fantasy teams, I’ve been totally immersed in finding great football watching snacks, meals, sweets, and drinks. A lot of my previous gameday recipes require standing over the stove, or heating up the oven. Since New England isn’t quite ready to give up on summer (not complaining!), I thought … More Slow Cooker Beef Carnitas Tacos
Football is officially less than one month away! My fantasy teams are being reactivated and Aaron Rodgers’ brother is winning the Bachelorette. I don’t actually watch the bachelorette, but just bear with me 😛 Football season is basically the only excuse I need to eat anything and everything delicious. I saw this chex mix recipe and thought … More Parmesan Ranch Chex Mix
Pretty much anytime I’m in a mall, I’m about 50% focused on shopping. The rest of my brain is reserved for locating the nearest Auntie Anne’s and ordering pretzel nuggets with cheese sauce almost instantly (even better when I can sniff it out). If I had known, all these years, that I could make an … More Soft Pretzel Nuggets with Cheese Sauce
When I first started my blog, I shared a brussels sprouts recipe that, at the time, was one of my very favorites. While I do still eat a ton of roasted brussels sprouts, I’ve fallen in love with eating them raw. Shredding the brussels sprouts (by slicing them into julienne strips) gives them a super palatable texture … More Brussels Sprout Salad with Grapes & Almonds
I’ve been trying over the last few weeks to start getting in meal planning mode so that weeknight dinners can come together really quickly. I pretty much always have a protein and a veggie planned, but almost always overlook a starch. I’ve never been too into carby things like pasta and potatoes, but served a certain … More Super Easy Sesame Noodles
Ever since Gina posted about the Instant Pot before the holidays, I knew it was something I had to have. It serves as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker…and on and on! Andrew and I make rice all time, so we knew we’d get a ton of use from this from our rice … More Brown Sugar Short Ribs with Peanut Butter
I read a post on Smitten Kitchen (my go-to cooking blog, for the 1 person out there who isn’t familiar) awhile back, and she basically stole all the words out of my mouth regarding the cooking of eggs. She mentioned that for all of her life, up to this point, she’s avoided any sort of … More Spaghetti with Spicy Breadcrumbs and Crispy Egg
I don’t know about you guys, but when it comes to guilty pleasure food I am ALL about french fries. Specifically, McDonald’s french fries…but let’s not tease ourselves. Obviously fries are one of those things you ‘should have sparingly’, so I’ve done a bunch of research to figure out how to make delicious fries at … More Crispy Seasoned French Fries
While everyone around the U.S. is happy that Spring has begun, apparently Boston didn’t get the memo, considering we woke up to about 5 inches of snow. So, before I get too excited about all the spring foods and my garden which will be overflowing with herbs in just a few short…months, I wanted to … More Roasted Carrots with Feta and Pomegranates
