Dinner

My husband declared this “Maybe the best salad I’ve ever made.”  And I make a LOT of salads. Granted, it’s basically Mexican Street Corn in a bowl, and a popular dish in Mexico called Esquites.  It is easy to make, filled with rich flavors that…

I love a good summer barbecue, don’t you?  Here in New England, we wait months for the privilege of al fresco dining, and it’s a very welcome change each time the weather gets warmer. As much as I crave summer desserts like this one, and…

It’s finally summer, which means less meals roasting in the oven and more of these light, refreshing suppers around here. This recipe is a perfect weeknight dinner, as the shrimp get a quick 30 minute marinade and then cook on the stovetop for under 5…

If, like me, you want to incorporate more plant based meals in your life without being vegan or vegetarian, this is an excellent dish to try.

I know you’re reading this because the idea of using three ingredients to make a delicious dish is appealing to you.  I don’t blame you, it’s appealing to me too. Unfortunately, many dishes marketed this way feel forced, and even incomplete.  Not so here.  I…

Oh, tacos, how I love thee. With Cinco de Mayo coming up, of course I was going to bring you a Mexican inspired recipe.  However,  I had these cauliflower tacos locked and loaded to post in the next few weeks anyway because they are SO…

When I posted a preview of these on my Instagram stories, I got so many messages asking for the recipe that I knew I needed to get this one out quickly.  They are so easy, and so good. Portabello mushrooms are filled with traditional pizza…

I’m back with another pasta dish that I think you’re going to LOVE. This Baked Goat Cheese Pasta with Lemon + Crispy Proscuitto is really something.  It is absolutely delicious, with a sauce made from goat cheese garlic, pasta water, and lemon that clings to…

The internet has been going a little crazy for one-pan pastas lately. You may have heard of the Baked Feta Pasta trend, which I’ll admit, is actually worth the hype.  I’ve adapted a few recipes based on that method and will be sharing one very…

This is a perfect, cozy dish for March when the winter temperatures are still lingering and spring hasn’t made its arrival yet.  Every year I remember that March is still quite cold, and warming dinners like this 30 minute Coq au Vin are very much…

With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, how could I not provide you with a potato recipe?   I know that mashed potatoes are classic in my household, but sometimes I like to switch it up, and this is an easy, impressive way to do just…

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, so I’m bringing you the first of two dinner ideas that are sure to impress even the pickiest eaters. This Spicy Fusilli Pasta with Tomato + Cream is luxurious and hearty, tasting like it took hours to make, but coming together…

Just when you thought you didn’t need another chili recipe… Here we go!   This chili recipe has been my go-to for years, and it never disappoints.  It’s incredibly flavorful, thanks to both tomato paste and cocoa powder which add a complex depth of flavor.  It’s…

This week we’ve got another comforting, healthy dinner coming your way.  It’s safe to say that will be a theme this winter, as it’s very much how we eat at home on a regular basis.  I’ve heard from many of you that’s how you like…

Now that the holidays are behind us, I can get back to regularly scheduled programming:  easy, healthy dishes with familiar ingredients made in a new way.  Truth be told, it’s my favorite way to cook, and my favorite type of recipe to share because it’s…

If you want a festive side dish for Christmas Eve dinner and green bean Christmas trees aren’t your thing, this is the dish for you. I like holiday meals to feel celebratory and seasonal, but not overly gimmicky.  Maybe it’s because I’m not terribly crafty,…

Sweet potatoes have my heart.  I love them prepared so many ways, and this is one of, if not my absolute favorite.  The tender, creamy flesh of the sweet potato make it ideal for roasting and lends a mellow sweetness on its own, but pair it…

Just when you thought you’d hit your “all things pumpkin” limit for the year, I’m here to prove you wrong.  We are taking pumpkin in a different direction here, a savory one, that is just as comforting and cozy as your favorite pumpkin bread or…
