One-Pot Chili Mac
This one-pot wonder tastes like happiness, people. This is not the classiest of dishes, but it is unbelievably, devastatingly delicious. Eating this chili mac inevitably leads to one of those blissful food moments, where you forget about everything except the awesomeness in your mouth. Tender pasta shells get loaded with sweet corn, green pepper, mixed…
Read MoreSun Dried Tomato, Kale, and White Bean Skillet
I’m really grateful for this skillet meal, which is the ultimate cozy dinner. I’ve been making some version of beans and greens for dinner the past week, but this super simple sun-dried tomato and white bean version has quickly become my all-time favorite. I almost always have all of the (very basic) ingredients on hand,…
Read More20-Minute Vegetable Paella
Want to make paella at home but are intimidated? Here’s a supremely simple vegetable paella that’s perfect for entertaining and full of Spanish flavor. It’s not a fully authentic paella, but more of a “cheater’s” paella because I’ve been wanting to develop one that’s a little more accessible for everyday use. Smoky, earthy, and delicious.…
Read MoreBuffalo Chickpea Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
This meal is thanks to my slight obsession with buffalo sauce. These buffalo chickpea stuffed sweet potatoes are the perfect combination of sweet, tangy and spicy.

Read MoreThai Noodles with Peanut Sauce
Well, it’s still winter. This beauty, like most of my favorite recipes, was born from the need to clean-out-the-fridge so that I didn’t need to leave my house on a frigid afternoon to push a grocery cart through slush. And I must admit this version of Thai noodles far exceeded my expectations on their own,…

The combination of sweet caramelized potatoes and crunchy garlic infused broccoli is straight up delightful, and…
Read More10-Minute Curried Cauliflower Rice
Cauliflower “rice” is hot right now. In part because cauliflower rice can be enjoyed by pretty much anyone, regardless of whatever fancy program they happen to be following (paleo, gluten-free, plant-based, keto) but most likely because it’s ridiculously easy to make. There’s less than 10 minutes of actual cook time and this entire masterpiece only requires…
Read MoreSpring Tacos with White Beans, Red Potatoes, and Garlic Yogurt Sauce
There are tacos and then there are tacos. Forgettable tacos are usually the kind that come out of a box, with a packet for seasoning and not much else. While there’s definitely a time and a place for this, they don’t do the taco any justice. These Spring Tacos with White Beans, Red Potatoes, and…
Read MoreWarm White Bean, Tomato & Spinach Salad
You know that moment when you appreciate that spring is finally here? Your heart swells with joy, your cheeks take on a rosy glow, and the birds start to sing? And then you know that moment right after when you realize that it’s overcast, raining and you’re freezing, again? You, my friend, need this soul-soothing…
