Mexican Salsa Verde Chicken Casserole

Doesn't it always seem that every time you are in Costco you happen to be unbelievably starving and everything seems incredibly enticing. Well yeah, that happens to me a lot. I'll be aiming to replenish my three gallon vat of ketchup like every normal Costco attendee, but I'll inevitably get distracted by the thousands of bite size options of food.

Chi​potle CHicken Enchiladas

Mexican flavors and my soul really jive together.  I love spicy and I love fresh and I have some internal guilt over the fact that I have never, in my entire life, stepped foot into a Taco Bell. Before you raise your pitch forks and educate me with information that Doritos Locos Taco Supreme is not authentic Mexican food, believe me, I know...

Apple Cider Braised Pork Chops

The current forecast for the next three days is 80 degrees! The leaves are almost completely off the tree in my front yard, yet I had to take out my shorts again. In fact, as I type out this post, it is 8pm and I have both of my windows open. Something isn't right here. I feel like I am getting gyped out of the fall season. I can guarantee you that next week we will be in the 30s and boom it will be Winter...

Mushroom and Bok Choy Udon Noodles

It only took me like a half hour to think of that headline.  But in all seriousness, I'm kind of obsessed with these new noodles.  Just about one Sunday a month I treat myself and my stomach to an all you can eat Sushi session.... 

WIld mushroom balsamic chicken piccata

Last weekend I was browsing around Home Depot like every twenty-something single girl does on a Saturday night and I stumbled on something intriguing.  A cardboard box, that was promising to grow me full on oyster mushrooms in 11 days....

Pesto and Sun-Dried Tomato Gnocchi

This was my request Sunday around 10am on a drive home from Church from my brother. Sunday mornings are tough for me.  I wake up at an earlier hour than most weekenders for Church.  We live a half hour away and my stomach essentially rejects food before 10am so I hop in the car without eating...

Healthy Detox lentil soup

There are few times that the words detox come into my vocabulary. Sure I'm all about salads, but the thought of liquifying my food to "cleanse" my body just isn't that appealing. As fall comes around I have the opposite weight-gain fear as most individuals.

LEMON RISOTTO

When I was young and in elementary school I would get super depressed on Sunday nights knowing that I have to go back to school Monday Morning.  My mom conveniently dubbed this feeling the "Sunday Night Blues." To make things even worse, I'm coming back from a week long vacation...

Cider braised chipotle chicken tacos

This was one of the moments where I totally agreed.  Yah of course, that's totally normal that your chicken lays 12 eggs a day.  I've seen chickens lay twenty a day.  Once I got home I googled "how many eggs can a chicken lay in one day."  Google informs me that you'll get 1 egg at best.  So the summary of this story is that today I either met a liar or someone who has a magical chicken....
This is my go to fast, tasty meal. Like the epitome of go to.  Like the "I make this once a week" kind of go to. I've been wanting to share this pasta with you guys on the blog but honestly, every time I make it, my brother and I immediately eat it all...

Old bay creole shrimp stew

When living in Connecticut one is often faced with the age-old question "Red Sox or Yankees." This is fitting considering we are right smack dab in the middle of New York City and Boston.  I went to school in Boston and was thrusted into the Red SAHWX Nation fandom....
