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
Now that the days are longer, and it’s supposedly starting to get warmer out (it was like 40 yesterday, so hoping that comes soon…), I find myself craving more fresh veggies and lighter meals. I’ve been making this salad for a few years, ever since I saw it posted on Lottie + Doof. I love the … More Snap Pea and Radish Salad
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
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
Two or three years ago, Andrew and I were having dinner at a new restaurant in our neighborhood, and one of the dishes on their appetizer list was roasted chickpeas. We aren’t super into hummus, or other chickpea-based things (only on occasion, when the mood strikes), so we were kinda like ‘meh’ about ordering them. When … More Cheesy Roasted Chickpeas
You read that ^ correctly. We’re putting buffalo wing in our caramel corn, and we’re not going to apologize. In fact we’re going to wonder why we haven’t always done this for all of time!! Now – before I get to the delight that is spicy caramel, let me give you some context. As you all … More Buffalo Wing Caramel Corn
Happy new year! Over the past two weeks, I’ve been in New York and Maine for Christmas, and celebrated the new year in Boston with my sisters, brother-in-law, and niece and nephew. I hope you all had wonderful holidays as well! Now, down to business 😀 Last year, I told you guys that my ‘resolution‘ … More Spinach Pie
If you asked me my favorite cuisine, It would certainly be difficult to pick one, but I’d land on Mexican or French, maybe Greek…unlike most people, Italian doesn’t rank in my top 5. I rarely eat pasta, and red sauce is something I crave only once every few months. However, the one dish I find … More Very Veggie White Lasagna
Living in Salem, MA, the home of all things Halloween, requires me to go all out for the holiday. I’m definitely not complaining, and I celebrated Halloween pretty nicely this year! Let’s just say 7 bags of candy is already gone, and we didn’t have trick-or-treaters 😛 So, after all the decorating and celebrating was … More Spicy BBQ Pumpkin Seeds
I’m on day 17 of my 20 day reset and all I want is some pasta, bread and cheese 😛 In the meantime, I made this super garlicky spaghetti squash. Honestly – it was SO delicious, and I almost (almost…) forgot I wasn’t eating pasta. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the squash in a … More Garlicky Spaghetti Squash
The last time I posted a carrot recipe, it was one of my all-time favorite recipes ever. Again, I found myself at Trader Joe’s staring at the multi color carrots and was reminded of that lovely salad. I made it last week and am still enjoying today! With the leftover carrots, I decided I’d give … More Spicy Maple Roasted Carrots
Welp. It was only a matter of time before work completely took over my life and the kitchen became only a room I passed through to enter and exit my house. I finally was able to take a breather this past weekend, and despite the fact that it was about 80 degrees inside, I cranked the … More Sweet and Salty Double Chip Cookies
I’m back! Work got a bit crazy last week, with an unexpected trip to NYC, so unfortunately I had no time to cook. But after an amazing and long Memorial Day weekend I was able to whip up some awesome recipes I can’t wait to share with you guys! A couple weeks ago, I found … More Deviled Eggs (and Special Sauce!)
Ever since I increased my zoodle consumption, I’ve been buying zucchinis by the dozen. While I do love my replacement noodles, I wanted to find some other ways to use up what Andrew would call an excessive amount of zucchini. I came across these zucchini chips and I knew I was sold. Back when kale chips had their … More Zucchini Chips
With Easter on the horizon, I’ve been doing my best to ignore the taunting colorful bags of candy seemingly everywhere. Don’t get me wrong, I will absolutely destroy a Nutrageous or Snickers, but in an effort to control ingredient quality and enjoy something a TAD healthier, I bring you these almond butter cups. Most people … More Almond Butter Cups With Sea Salt
Crunchy Salty Sweet
