Greek Chicken and Potatoes is one of those comforting one-skillet meals that takes care of business on gloomy winter days.

One of my favorite meals as a kid was Cacio e Pepe! Today I'm upping the ante with Cacio e Pepe with Brussels Sprouts. Because really, it's the right thing to do! Cacio e Pepe is quite simply pasta with pepper and a whole boat load of cheese. Can you complain? I think not. Except [...]
I often crave burgers. Big fat juicy burgers, sweet potato burgers burgers, bean burgers, chicken burgers, turkey burgers... if it's sandwiched in a bun, it's on my list. I'm flexible on what kind of meat is in between the bun but one thing that no burger is complete without it avocado. Obviously. Duh. Veggie burgers [...]

We've got less than 72 hours until the big day. Until party time. Until it's socially acceptable to start drinking prosecco at noon. Until it's time to stuff our faces with stuffing and turkey and gravy and potatoes. Until we all have to un-do the top button of our pants. Unless of course you're going [...]

So last weekend Thomas ditched me for his bachelor party. In any other circumstances this would have been perfectly acceptable. Except for one giant problem. He went to Austin. Yes. Austin, Texas.

Back when I was in culinary school, I used to make soups like it was my job. I made soups that were pretty much every color in the rainbow and I was one happy camper. But recently I haven't been making any soups and it's totally unacceptable. I've decided that this is because in culinary [...]

Cobblers are probably one of my all time favorite desserts. I think it's because I convince myself I'm eating just fruit and then I don't really think about the sugar or butter that goes along with it 🙂 Well, I guess it doesn't really matter, because there is just no way I could ever say [...]
Raise your hand if you have a weakness for all things Ben and Jerry related! I sure do. And one of my biggest weakness is Chunky Monkey.

A few weeks ago, during a Sunday Funday outing with Jen, we encountered this new-to-us dip called Muhammara. Being the curious people we are, we obviously ordered it and then scarfed it down.
