Bolognese Pasta
Homemade bolognese sauce is seriously oh-so good and worth the wait. The flavors in this sauce are deep and complex, and will take your favorite pasta to the next level. For some reason whenever a pasta sauce calls for wine or alcohol, I’ve always skipped it for whatever reason (I don’t have a bottle that...
Watermelon Feta & Arugula Salad
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.
Sheet Pan Sausage and Veggies
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...
Apple and Feta Salad
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...
Parmesan Crusted Lemon Pepper Chicken
Parmesan and lemon make for a delicious and tangy combo on these chicken cutlets! Serve with your favorite veggie (my favorites are asparagus, broccoli, or cauliflower with this recipe). If you’re keto, swap the flour for more parmesan! Or hey just add more parmesan if you’re like me and always want the most cheese.
Farmer’s Market Veggie Pizza
I absolutely love my local farmer’s market. Yes, I know, it’s basic but you know what I’m not ashamed! Living in California’s central valley, I’m so lucky that I have access to such amazing fresh produce. There’s something so fun to me about wandering and letting the food speak to you. “What am I having...
Lemon and White Bean Kale Salad
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...
Verde Chicken Enchiladas
Cheesy, delicious enchiladas. I could eat these for breakfast, lunch, dinner, midnight snack, second breakfast, elevensies, you name it. The queso fresco adds a creamy touch, and any excuse to add another kind of cheese seems like a good idea to me.
Nutella Stuffed Sugar Cookies
Hello. This week I needed to eat my feelings. Enter: the Nutella stuffed sugar cookie. Warm, gooey explosions of Nutella wrapped in a warm hug of a buttery sugar cookie. Need I say more?
Midnight Pasta
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...
