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
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
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
As I do every year when the super bowl and oscars are approaching, I’ve been thinking about the most important part of either of these events: the food. Yes the outcomes are “important”, but regardless of who you want to win…grazing around a table for hours is something everyone can get behind! In my opinion, … More Buffalo Artichoke Wings
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
We’ve been having a serious heatwave in New England (I think the whole northeast has, actually), and the last thing Andrew and I want to do in the 90+ degree heat is turn on the oven. We finally visited a local farmer’s market last weekend (after talking about doing it basically all summer…), and found … More Heirloom Tomato and Corn Salad
One of the most satisfying things in the world is discovering that something you’ve bought 1,000,000 times is one of the easiest things to make in your own kitchen. I mean don’t get me wrong, I always knew pickles were just cucumbers soaked in vinegar (for the most part…), but I just never took the … More Bread and Butter Pickles
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
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 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
