Happy Friday! The weekend is finally here and in just a few days Stephen and I are headed to Italy (I’ve never been, so basically I’m crazy excited) I plan on eating a TON of pasta there (because, duh, ITALY!) and so I’ve decided to start my carbo-loading early with this spinach and orzo pasta salad!…
Spiralized Zucchini Pasta with Garlic Peas and Polenta
Happy Friday! I am so excited for this Memorial Day weekend and can’t wait to hang out with my family and spend sometime in the sun! And with all of the craziness of getting ready to move I think Stephen and I could use a few days of down time. So I am going to…
Italian Salad With Creamy Garlic Dressing
I almost feel bad about today’s recipe because, guys it is so simple. But, when Stephen and I don’t know what to eat for dinner and want something simple and light, we almost always eat this salad with some form of protein. I know it doesn’t look earth-shattering but the reason I’m actually sharing this…
Loaded Nachos With Creamy Jalapeño Queso
Happy Friday! It’s official, we’ve made it to the weekend and I for one am celebrating with these. Loaded nachos, topped with creamy jalapeño queso, black beans, roasted sweet potato, and spicy mango salsa. And let me tell you, these are how you start the weekend off right. And with Cinco De Mayo coming up,…
Cuban Rice Bowl
Well, friends it’s Tuesday. And Tuesday is pretty much Monday which means I can safely assume you guys could use an energy boost and maybe something to distract you from the long week ahead (sorry!). Luckily I’ve got both. I mean, obviously these Cuban Rice Bowls are some awesome eye candy (especially with Cinco De…
One-Pot Fettuccine (Or Fettucine On Crack)
If you noticed, I didn’t post as I usually do on Thursday. Whelp. Let’s just say I’ve had quite the week. I hate to start off a Friday post with a rant….but let me just get this out of my system and we can move on. Cool? So basically, my hard drive crashed. And I…
Sofritas Tostada (30 Minute Recipe)
How is everyone today? I know it’s a Wednesday, and we still have a few days until we get to the weekend but for some reason I’m in a crazy good mood! It’s probably because Stephen comes home today after a few days away traveling for work! I’m not going to lie, being alone in…
Jalapeño Fritter Burger with Garlic Aioli
So remember when I said those jalapeño fritters from yesterday were going to be used in a mind-blowingly good way?Did I fulfill that promise, or what? I’ve been wanting to do another hamburger on the blog since forever, and with the onset of warmer temps I thought I would make some summer food to get us…
Grits, Two Ways
Alright guys, today is all about some MAJOR comfort food. Creamy grits!And, no, these aren’t your average from-the-box grits (although those are pretty darn delicious, too). These babies are made from scratch (easier than you might think) with butter, a touch of salt and creamy delicious whole milk. When I say that this dish will…
Cheesy Risotto Bake (One-Pot)
So, I totally meant to post this yesterday. But then we got hit with an ice storm. So I spent my day-off (we are starting to have more days without school than with around here) cooking/running errands and totally forgot that I hadn’t published this! Whoops! But the goods news is, I’m sharing it with…
