Little saucy balls, aka my street name. Just kidding (maybe). These are some yummy teriyaki meatballs I made using ground turkey, ginger paste, garlic, and teriyaki sauce. You can make this into an easy dinner (under 30 minutes, woohoo) by making teriyaki bowls and pairing them with veggies of your choice and rice. Or double …
Risotto: creamy, cheesy, and carb-0-licious. How can you possibly say no? Also, surprisingly easy to make. I’ll show you how to make risotto in less than 30 minutes and you can have a gourmet meal on your table sooner than the Italian place across the street can deliver. Serve it as a main dish, or …
This is hands down one of my most famous, top requested recipes. This is the first meal I made for my boyfriend Zach and he claims it’s one of the reasons he knew he wanted to spend his life with me. It’s magic Alfredo people! This recipe is creamy and oh so cheesy. Make it …
Simple doesn’t have to mean boring or plain. This midnight pasta is only 5 ingredients, and takes around 10 minutes to make, but it is so delicious. My mom introduced me to this recipe; apparently a lot of chefs make this when they get home from the restaurant late at night and need to whip …
I’ve been eating a lot of really delicious things lately, but I felt like it was time to get back on track to having at least one healthy dinner this week. This salad is unique and it doesn’t feel like I’m eating a boring Caesar salad. Serve it as a side, or add your favorite protein to …

A light and fresh salad for hot days! The watermelon gives this salad some sweetness and the feta balances it out wonderfully with a sharp bite. Eat it as a side dish, or pair it with balsamic marinated chicken for a meal.
After a holiday season full of indulging, it’s hard to get back on track when all I’m craving are cookies, holiday feasts, and junk food galore. Here’s a soup that’s comforting, warm, and surprisingly thick and smooth (title of my next R&B album?). It’s packed with butternut squash, lentils, and kale which in my opinion …
A superb side dish or appetizer to serve for a crowd! These mini peppers are charred to perfection on the grill and topped with a delicious vinaigrette. Serve with a side of crusty toasty bread and your favorite mild cheese like fresh mozzarella, burrata, or even ricotta.
My mom is infamous for her potato salad. It’s made me a potato salad purist because I will not eat any recipe other than hers. But I needed a dairy-free recipe to make for some friends who don’t like mayo (I know, as a mayo lover myself I grasp my pearls at the thought). Wasn’t …
Another savory pumpkin dish comin atchu! This pumpkin risotto is topped with crispy pancetta and savory sage brown butter mushrooms. Can it get more fall than that?
The perfect fall side dish! Spicy roasted pumpkin topped with feta, pumpkin seeds, and a hot honey drizzle. If you’re not a pumpkin fan, you can also swap out the pumpkin for butternut squash or sweet potatoes. This goes perfect in a fall salad too- toss it with more fall veggies and roast chicken to …
