What I'm Craving and Cooking in the Kitchen
This Prosciutto Burrata Pasta with Peas is for the cheese lovers. Not only does it have chunks of melty Burrata Cheese throughout, but it also has lots of fresh grated parmesan. With each bite you get fresh green peas, some melty cheese, and a little […]
Meet your new weekend breakfast or brunch addition? Lemon Blueberry Breakfast Cake is so tender and moist from the buttermilk and the lemon zest provides just the right amount of subtle lemon flavor. Not overpowering lemon, but just right. And of course, LOADS of blueberries. […]
This Quinoa Chicken Fajita Bake is going to be your new fave weeknight dinner recipe. Full of tons of fajita flavor and veggies, quinoa, salsa, and cheese… how could you go wrong. We use one skillet to cook everything up (minus the quinoa) and then […]
This Roasted Shrimp Thai Kale salad is light and refreshing, yet filling and big enough to serve a crowd. Filled with lots of crunch and color. Not to mention all the nutrients from the variety of mix-ins. This is one of those “everything that is […]
Summertime means lots of fresh fruit and berries. And in my book that means we’re eating them for every meal. Classic Strawberry Shortcakes requires a light and tender biscuit, sweet and sugary strawberries, all topped off with fluffy whipped cream. We elevate the traditional Strawberry […]
I love a classic basil pesto. Chock full of basil and pine nuts, there is a reason it is such a staple. I toss it with pasta, spoon it over chicken breasts, you name it. But, why does basil get all the love? It’s fun […]
Be instantly transported down South when you take a bite of this crispy, sweet with a slight kick, Hot Honey Oven Fried Chicken. Baked in the oven instead of fried in oil makes it healthier and guilt-free. How do we achieve the crispy breading? Corn […]
Combination of two of my favorite things. Chocolate Chip Cookies + Cheesecake. All layered up in bar form. I give you Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars. By layering cookie dough with an easy cheesecake batter, we’re left with wonderfully rich, decadent, and indulgent dessert bars […]
I’ve got your one-pot meal or meal prep covered. Warm, comfort food may not be the go-to in the summer. But you know what is? Not heating up the kitchen with the stove or oven. Enter your Pressure Cooker (Instant Pot). I love how easy […]
I love quiche. It’s one of those rare dishes that is perfect for any time of day. Breakfast? Obvious great choice. Brunch with mimosas? The perfect dish to impressive your friends. Lunch or dinner? Absolutely! There are endless quiche filling options – cheese, meats, veggies, […]
Summertime means the calendar is filled with barbecues, cookouts, block parties, pool parties you name it. It is the season of gathering with friends and family and eating outside. Because I know at least here in the Midwest, we EARN our warm weather. So gosh […]
Is there ever such a thing as too many Slow Cooker recipes? Especially ones that are essentially dump and go? I think not. Chuck Roast cooks low and slow in the crockpot and results in a tangy, slightly spicy, shredded Italian Beef that your family […]
There’s a reason that pasta salad is a summertime, cookout, block party go-to. No heating up your kitchen, takes just minutes to toss together, and is best served straight from the fridge. Where could you go wrong? I love making this Italian Pasta Salad for […]
I. Love. Takeout. I really do. And my GO-TO is Chinese Takeout. Is there anything more satisfying than eating Sesame Chicken straight out of the takeout container while watching the 4th episode of the Netflix show you just started that day… (I know you’ve been […]
Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of delicious granola options at the grocery store. BUT, do you know how easy it is to make homemade granola make yourself? And then you can customize with your favorites. Combine your favorite nuts, seeds, dried fruit, maybe […]
