Let Me Tell You About My Air Fryer Meatball Phase So, a while back, there was this week when all I could think about was meatballs. Weird, right? But picture this: it’s Tuesday, everyone’s already cranky because of school or work or the neighbor’s dog yapping (again), and I just want to make something hearty, …
How Honey Sriracha Ground Chicken and Broccoli Became My Weeknight Hero Look, I get it, weeknights can be a hot mess. Between racing back form work (yeah, I spelled it wrong, but I’m leaving it in for realism!) and trying to avoid the sad pasta trap again, I started making this Honey Sriracha Ground Chicken …
Hey There, Salad Lovers! (Or Reluctant Leaf Nibblers…) So, last week, I found myself staring into the fridge at 9pm (don’t ask) searching for, well, anything that could pass for a meal that wasn’t toast. Somehow, a big bunch of kale called my name, so I started tossing things in a bowl, doing one of …
Pork Chops Worth Turning the Oven On For Let’s be honest for a sec, okay? There are days when I want to impress but can’t quite face the idea of a five-step marinade, three sauces, and a pan that’ll take all night to scrub. Enter: oven baked bone-in Pork Chops. My mom made these on …
Oh hey there! Have you ever braved a roasted beef tenderloin for the holidays (or just because you found one on sale and thought, ‘why not?’)? I clearly remember the first Christmas I tried it—everyone hovering in the kitchen, my cousin sneaking pieces of dough as I tried to tie the roast, and that slightly …
Let Me Tell You About These Buffalo Tenders… So, funny story—the first time I made these Blazing Buffalo Chicken Tenders, I completely underestimated how much sauce I’d need. I mean, there I was, splatters of hot sauce everywhere (even in my hair, somehow?), and the whole kitchen smelling like a pub on wing night in …
Let Me Tell You About This Pork Tenderloin Thing… Okay, you know that feeling when you can’t decide what to cook but you want something that looks like you tried a little? That’s how I ended up making pork tenderloin in the oven for the first time—totally on a rainy Tuesday night, couldn’t be bothered …
The story behind my favorite pork chop fix Oh my word, if I had a dime for every time I made these pork chops (and another dime for every time someone asked for the recipe), I’d at least be able to buy a better pan. True story: the first time I ever tried to bake …
If You’ve Never Made Smothered Chicken Like This… Okay, I have to admit—my first attempt at Texas Roadhouse Smothered Chicken was born from a bout of hangry (that’s hungry + angry, in case you didn’t know) desperation after a long workday. I’d had the real deal at the actual restaurant a couple of weeks before, …
Catching Up Over Chicken and Noodles So, let me just say it off the bat: if you’ve had one of those days (and who hasn’t?), this One-Pan Chicken with Buttered Noodles is about to be your new best mate in the kitchen. I honestly can’t count how many times this has rescued me from dinner …
