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)
I found these delicious coconut snacks at the grocery store a few weeks ago, and despite being super tasty, they were pretty expensive for not a large amount. I figured with all the kitchen time I have at the moment, I’d try my hand at a little recreation of them. I’m happy to say they’re … More Toasted Coconut Superseed Clusters
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’ve made many, many rice krispie treats over the years, and without fail every time they end up being kind of crunchy and frankly not that enjoyable. I came across this trick which incorporates sweetened condensed milk and I was blown away with how absolutely delicious and soft these remained over time (let’s be honest … More Brown Butter Soft Rice Krispie Treats
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
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
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
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
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
