If I break out in “UNDA DA SEA,” are you going to punch me? Look at those tentacles! I’ve never had tentacles on my plate before. I like tentacles on my plate. Don’t tell Ariel I said that. This dish is something ELSE, y’all. I know it might seem a smidge unapproachable, but a) you […]

Pasta Rings with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Bacon
This is your second chance in life. And it involves carbs and bacon. And brussels sprouts, which is green, so it’s basically a salad. Meals like this govern my life. Approachable enough for a weeknight, but disguised as a pretentious, laborious weekend undertaking that makes you stabby. It’s quite simple really! And you can juggle […]
Creamy Pasta with Sausage and Kale
Easiest creamy pasta! Ever. Well, today. At least right now. I bet you’re craving those kinds of meals that make themselves. You’ve got a lot to do, man! All your Christmas shopping, baking, party planning, outfit-laying-out, eggnog gulping (<–I’ve never had proper eggnog, can you believe that? Is it grody? Would it give me chest […]
Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff
More like, stroganOMG. I rarely beg on this website. (don’t disagree with me. I will win.) But I’m here, in holey yoga pants on bended knee, sobbing so viciously, salmon could swim upstream in my tears, b e g g i n g you to add this to your menu. Oh! You probably have a […]
Skillet Chicken and Creamy Bow Tie Pasta
I can’t wait ’til you see how this all goes down. Which is now. Aren’t you so excited? You know my obsession with one-pot ALL THE THINGS. And my rowdy habit of throwing raw pasta into a dish and baking it with everything else. Waaaayull, this takes the cake (pasta?) to a whole nother level. […]
Smokey Chili Mac Soup
Two more days until the official Slurpin’ Season begins! Everything I said just now was 100% true, except for the whole official part. So never mind everything I said just now. But you can still slurp if you want. You should slurp this! Let me tell you about it. I love this recipe. I had […]
Skillet Chicken with Orzo and Veggies
This is about to change the way you see the world. Your future. YOURSELF. First of all, you know how we feel about one-pot dishes. Well this is like, the Godfather of one-pot. Let us unleash the praises. (no horse heads were hurt in the writing of that paragraph.) Secondly, it has a bit of […]
Creamy Cajun Pasta with Roasted Okra and Sausage
I put roasted okra in a creamy Cajun pasta. You’re either going to high five me, or somehow forgive me. I get extremely squeal-y giddy at this time of year. School is back in sesh (<–not sorry), football season is lurking around the corner (<–don’t really care for the sport, just the overall spirit vibe), […]

This old thing? Oh, it’s just your new all-time favorite meal of ever. Even IF it’s 57,923,426,1524547643,0023857723,,,34356 degrees outside. Times 80. It’s still going to rock your mouth off. There IS one crucial thing to know about this recipe, and that is: you can go two different ways with it. Which, I guess there are […]
Chicken Pasta with a Roasted Tomato Béchamel
p a s t a !! (!) It’s been a minute since I’ve shown you pasta, hasn’t it? HOW DARE ME. How dare I? Anyway, this meal is a tooootal weeknight pleaser, plus a fancy little twist! Before I get to that fancy little twist, I have a confession to make. And I don’t take […]
