Oh hellooooo, fall. I see you. This is what happens when you take chicken tenders, cut them up, sear them with olives and red wine and crushed tomatoes and ORZO. A heavy hand of parmesan and freshly chopped parsley to garnish, plus a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil? Stop. Stop it. It’s quite divine, I […]

Thai Coconut Turkey Noodles
Rich but not a total gut bomb, I’ve got an eaaaaasy Thai dish you can whip up yesterday. It almost doesn’t even look Thai, does it? The whole thing has this “spaghetti and meat sauce” feel but with a twist! Coconut milk. Ground turkey. And a ROASTED red chili paste. Not the regular red curry […]
Smoky White Bean and Tomato Soup with Bacon
We haven’t slurped in a while, have we. This soup. THIS SOUP is weep worthy. It’s smoky. It’s bean-y. It’s bacon-y. It’s tomato-y. It’s like, all the rustic in one pot. One pot! See how I take care of you? Never mind. Let us peepeth. Okay, two things: I forgot to label the onion in […]
Cheese Tortellini Soup with Beef and Spinach
I’m basically giving us the green light to get our slurp on. You good with that? (duh, you are.) Today’s kick-off to soup season is a simple, rustic, delicious doozy. I went to ALDI not long ago, completely salivating over the idea of a beefy soup, but with tortellini in it. Cheese tortellini. Had to […]
Skillet Chicken with Orzo and Yellow Squash
One pan. One love. (why am I feeling like listening to Bob Marley all of the sudden?) So, I made this for dinner a couple of weeks ago, because you know me and skillet dishes. And you know me especially with orzo and chicken situations. We’re like this. But this one seemed far too simple […]
Wine-Braised Sea Bass with Tomatoes and Squash
She fancy. (not) But it looks and sounds fancy, so we’re going with it! Also, it’s painfully simple. WEEKNIGHT simple. Less-than-30 simple. Have I convinced you yet? Maybe if I show you a photo of me picking cherry tomatoes out of our garden. Will that do it? Let’s see. Hold on. Here it is. Eh? […]
Skillet Chicken with Grains and Broccolini
Another single skillet situation for ya, Sally! (<–who is Sally?) Okay, remember this One Pan Orzo Chicken thang I made you from yesterlore? It is that again, once I put my thing down, flipped it and reversed it. Because we need options, man! More things to do with buttermilk chicken thighs, brah! More one-skillet meals […]
One-Pan Orzo with Chicken, Asparagus and Sundried Tomatoes
And now I give you, your new autumnal foodal obsession . . . al. Guys it is ONE PAN. I know how you love your one pan meals. And you know how I love my one pan meals. This has so little hooplah you will absolutely lose your mind in it. And I’m not sorry. […]
Cheesy Vegetable Gratin
I’m calling it a gratin because of the layering. And the cheese. You can call it a bake if you want! Or a gratin. Or just awesome. This is one of those side dishes that you’d probably have anyway, but not like this. And I want you to have it like this. Because this is […]
Shrimp Scampi with Tomatoes and Crusty Bread
Also known as, my five-year old daughter’s advanced tongue’s favorite food. SHRIMP. Isn’t that so bizarre?! She loves it. Craves it. Asks for it. And I’m always like, “SHRIMP? REALLY? Don’t you want peanut butter and jelly or cheese and crackers or like, candy? Here, open your mouth and let me pour this sugar straight […]
