Another easy weeknight meal idea coming at cha… grilled barbecue chicken topped with a spicy mango citrus avocado salsa. This is a recipe inspired by Wellness with Courtnie: iIt’s a perfect mix of tangy, sweet, spicy, and savory. Serve with rice or over a bed of fresh lettuce to make a yummy salad. It’s a …
I’m going to admit something, and I hope you won’t think less of me. Up until about a year ago, I had never had stuffed peppers. That’s right, I went 23 years of my life without knowing how amazing these are for delicious weeknight dinners. You can stuff a pepper with almost anything, but my …
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 trying to get back on the healthy meal game but it’s also still way too hot to turn on my oven (thanks, Fresno in August). This is a quick and easy salad that will leave you full and happy (as happy as a salad can make anyone… I mean it’s not a cookie …
Work has been really crazy lately, and it’s making me feel extra drained when I get home. Add the 105 degree heat to my already dwindled energy (I will complain about Fresno Summers until the day I die) and it’s really hard for me to muster up the energy to cook. For days like this …
My parents have been eating a mostly Mediterranean diet, which inspired me to make some delicious grilled chicken tzatziki bowls! Tzatziki is a delicious creamy dill and cucumber yogurt sauce that adds a delicious tang to anything you put it on. I get mine pre-made from Trader Joe’s and it’s one of my favorite dips …
Let’s all take a moment to thank Gigi Hadid for inventing pasta! Ok I’m obviously kidding, but she did share her recipe a while back for a vodka pasta sauce that casually went viral. With everyone under the sun taking a stab at the recipe, I wanted to share my version with you all. Honestly, …
This Greek inspired salad is a little different than your traditional Greek salad, but just as delicious (maybe even more so?). A greek yogurt lemon tahini dressing is the star of this salad, making it creamy, bright, and tangy. Paired with lemon grilled chicken breast, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese to make for a …
Another pasta recipe? Groundbreaking. But seriously, this is my favorite way to make pesto pasta. It’s creamy, spicy, bright, and suuuper easy. Add this to your weeknight pasta recipe rotation! This pasta is pretty filling on its own, but you can add some lemon herb chicken or salmon to make it a bigger meal, or …
This recipe is a crazy combination of flavors. There’s a LOT going on in the best way: bitter shishito peppers, sweet corn, spicy jalapeños, salty pistachios and parmesan, and brightness from fresh lemon, basil, and mint. But this is a symphony of textures and flavors that’s surprisingly subtle. It sneaks up on you and leaves …
Basically a version of bacon, onion, and cheese pasta that feels fancy but is still super easy to whip together! Leeks are mild onion varieties, almost like something in between a green onion, a yellow onion, and a shallot. Pancetta is kind of like an Italian bacon, but I really like it because I buy …
When I’m picking dishes for a dinner party, I like to pick ones that are super easy to prep ahead of time and take very little effort to finish up when it’s time to eat. That way I can actually, you know, spend time with the people I invited over to my house for dinner! …
Meat eaters and plant based friends unite! This lentil bolognese is hearty, layered with flavor, and an easy one pot meal. Serve it with your favorite pasta. To make this recipe vegan – omit the parmesan for your favorite plant based cheese or nutritional yeast.
Gochujang is a spicy paste that’s a staple in Korean cooking. It’s a savory, slightly sweet, spicy fermented condiment. You can pick it up at your local Asian grocery store, in the Asian food section of your grocery store, or Trader Joe’s seasonally carries it. Today I’m using it to make a sticky sauce for …
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?
Light, sweet, tart, and perfect for summer! This tart looks like it came straight from the bakery but it couldn’t be easier to make.
