First recipe of the year! And it’s a salad. Bahahahah. oh. But listen, the crunch in this thing is enough to convert anyone. It is alive, I tell you. A lot happening in here. And don’t get weird at the word fennel. We thinly slice it, so it’s not like you’re madly chomping into licorice. […]

Niçoise Pasta Salad
Hi, hello, spring’s about to land in your mouth hole. This is one of those recipes where you can sort of fiddle (my mom says words like fiddle) with the amounts to get it just right for you. I’ll give you the guide, and you amp up and hold back or bonkers out or stay […]
Seared Green Beans with a Lemon Butter Parmesan Sauce
And a crunchy buttery panko topping (!!), but I feel like that long title would have given you a stroke. So much butter! It was election day when I made this so I just went for it. But it’s real butter, none of that fake alien mess in a tub. So yeah, all the butter. […]
Cheesy Sausage, Green Bean and Potato Bake
Laaaawd have mercy. Because this is absolute heaven and I know it’s so going to be your jam. I just know it! Know it. Hi, it’s *almost* a one-pan bake. Basically is. Completely weeknight friendly, has EVERYTHING you want in it, and is blanketed with Roth’s creamy dreamy Original Gouda cheese whaaaaat. Remember this Cheesy […]
Bacon-Wrapped Beans with a Chardonnay Cream Sauce – And My Wine Trip with ALDI!
WINE. There’s just no other way to begin this blog post (or any blog post for that matter). I went to Washington! Washington State. Wine country. Don’t you just love the words wine and country back to back? A few weeks ago, I had the incredible opportunity to fly to Washington (and sleep in a […]
Chicken and Green Beans with a Garlic Ginger Pan Sauce
Another pan sauce! Did you think I’d forgotten all about my brand new borderline-psychotic love for pan sauces? Because I haven’t. I haven’t forgotten. One quick thing – please forgive how blurry these photos are. It was the most bizarre thing – as I shooting this recipe, a giant cave cricket with fangs and a […]
Grilled Summer Vegetable Bruschetta
Mmmmm Earth eating! (that sounded better in my head) First of all, it was McStormy-doo while I was shooting this recipe, so I opted for my phone to make things easier. So, if things seem slightly blurry, it’s definitely your eyes. Not my phone. It’s you. All you. Glad we got that out of the […]
Thai Three-Bean Salad
I’ve been just Thai-ing to show you this. You’re already mad at me. I created this recipe for my in-laws’ huge annual 4th of July pool party in Fayetteville. I was absurdly excited about it, until I set it down on the serving table next to exactly 38426534 other salads. Blast! It was still good […]
Creamy Vegetable Pasta
Fridaaaaay! Time for something creamy. Also, there’s frost on the ground. FA-ROST. I guess it makes sense, as it’s late October, but whoa-train. Also, how gross that I just said whoa-train. It might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever vocalized (but probably not) and I officially recoil it now. Oh! Name this movie: “ReeeeeCOIL, reeeeeeVERSE, […]
Shrimp Nicoise Salad
This salad occurred last week. And it occurred le big. Have you ever nicoised your pants off before? UGH, before we continue, I can’t figure out how to make that little hooky thing under the c in nicoise. Ya know what I’m talking about? That little hook? It’s like a little crow bar? Half of […]
