Zucchini Lasagna

I am not one for gimmicky food - you know trendy food that is trying to be different just for the sake of being different. Like for example carrot hotdogs, if I want a hot dog, I will eat a hot dog. Maybe that is a bad example because vegetarians want hot dogs sometimes ( I would imagine) but you know what I mean. Or here is a better example - a ramen burger. A ramen burger is a hamburger that uses ramen noodles instead of a bun. Consider me old and uncool but that is not my jam at all. Give me an amazing hamburger or an amazing bowl of ramen - just don't give me a hybrid to both of them.

Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

I was cleaning out my fridge recently, something that I need to do more of, and discovered a bottle of buffalo wing sauce. I bought this bottle for a recipe development project a couple weeks ago and since I was in search of a relatively healthy dinner, I decided to make some buffalo chicken in my Instant Pot. I served it with a vinegar based cole slaw and a pretzel hamburger bun and it hit the spot.

Sweet Potato Nachos

Who can resist any dish with the word nacho in it, right? I swapped out the corn tortilla chips for sweet potato wedges and topped the sweet potatoes with avocado, radish, sprouts and black beans. I also threw on some some fried eggs, because a perfectly runny egg yolk will convince even the pickiest of eaters that this dish is worth eating

Yogurt Marinated Chicken with Tzatziki

I think in a past life I lived some exotic gorgeous Mediterranean or middle eastern country. I know that sounds crazy, but I am totally drawn to that type of food - food that is loaded with olive oil, chickpeas, yogurt, pomegranate, spices, lemons, dates, tahini - the list could go on. Flavorful and simple food. When I see something with any of these flavors on a menu I automatically order them. I recently had this amazingly delicious chicken dish at a California/Mediterranean restaurant in San Francisco and I had an epiphany, the secret to juicy chicken is yogurt.

Instant Pot Turkey and Sweet Potato Chili

Pretty much everyone in my family got an Instant Pot as a gift for the holidays. They were seriously discounted on Amazon just in time for the holidays. Since I don't want my family to starve I thought I would start writing up recipes for them and put them on here as well. There is already a killer chicken taco recipe on my site, but up next is turkey and sweet potato chili.

Three Cheese Mac & Cheese

We serve mac-n-cheese at any and all holiday dinners. I know that some might consider that blasphemy but I love it... because it is mac -n-cheese! It is the perfect comfort food and when you make it homemade, it is a total game changer. Looking at the food that I like to eat, especially at the holidays, I tend to skew Southern. I am not sure why, I didn't really grow up in the South but when it comes to food, Southern food is my total comfort food. This mac-n-cheese is no exception.

Shrimp Scampi with Zucchini Noodles

I am trying to eat a little healthier for the next couple of days given last week's Thanksgiving feast and the upcoming holidays. This shrimp scampi with zucchini noodles is on heavy rotation.

One Pot Butternut Squash, Sage and Walnut Pasta

I am back with another one-pot pasta recipe, because one-pot anything seems to be my jam these days. This pasta has butternut squash, sage and walnuts - it is perfect for fall. Couple things to note about the recipe.

Asian Chicken and Rice Bowl

I met a pet pig named Oliver recently, (that sounds like the start of a joke, right?) Well no joke, I met a real life pet pig - evidence here and here. We hung out for a bit and snuggled and I realized that I need to lay off the pork for a while. Because he pretty much was the cutest thing ever. And that is what I am doing for a little while at least.

Easiest Chicken Tacos Ever

My sister came to visit me last week and we were talking food (what else do I talk about) and she told me about this new appliance that she is obsessed with. The appliance is an electric pressure cooker called Instant Pot. I was totally intrigued by this thing (it has almost 10K positive reviews on Amazon!) so I snapped one up and decided to discover what all the fuss was about. Well long story short, I am sold...
