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
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)
Cook your rice noodles (or rice or other pasta) according to package instructions. Whisk together the sauce ingredients, using a couple tablespoons of warm water to thin slightly. In a large pan, add your oil along with the ginger and garlic and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes. Be careful not to burn. Add … More Easy Peanut Noodles
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)
I am addicted to watching people bake on their Insta-stories. I especially love the arial-view, no-commentary, maybe some music in the background, Insta-stories. Two of my favorite accounts who do this so soothingly are @zoebakes and @alexandracooks. I’m not kidding when I tell you I could watch them for hours. Alexandra does a lot of bread-making, … More Easy Homemade Focaccia
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
I’m back! If you saw on my instagram feed, I recently got married 🙂 I didn’t anticipate taking a break from the blog, but wedding planning (especially in the last few weeks leading up to the big day!) kind of overtook my life for a little while. I’m happy to say Andrew and I had … More Sweet and Spicy Pepperoni Pizza
After coming back from a 2 1/2 week trip to Thailand and Myanmar, Andrew and I have found ourselves being much more adventurous in terms of flavors and ingredients that we cook with. Since eating so much good food across the globe, I realized that despite some differences, we all essentially like and eat … More Baby Bok Choy & Rice Noodle Bowls (with Teriyaki Steak Tips)
During a recent vacation in Thailand and Myanmar (i.e. Burma) with my fiancĂ© 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)
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
