Let Me Tell You About My Sweet Potato Fries Obsession Alright, confession time: I never really loved sweet potatoes growing up. Not sure why – maybe it’s that weird marshmallow casserole thing people make at Thanksgiving? But anyway, my friend Charlotte (hi, Char, if you’re reading this!) showed me how easy it was to make …
Let Me Tell You the Tale of the Burrito Bowl You know those times when you stare at the fridge, mentally rearranging the contents, low-key wishing dinner would make itself (it never does)? That’s usually what’s going on when Chicken Burrito Bowls show up in my kitchen. I started making these when I realized my …
Let Me Tell You About This Pasta Primavera Habit… Pasta Primavera isn’t just a recipe in my house, it’s sort of an unofficial ‘end of fridge clean-out’ with a pretty epic return rate. I remember the first time I made it—I’d run out of patience and ideas, and my fridge looked like a lost-and-found for …
Alright, So Here’s the Story Behind This One… Picture this: it’s a drizzly Tuesday night, I’ve got about as much energy as a cat in the sun, and the pantry is making that echo-y empty sound.

Spoiler: it never does. But! I do usually have some chicken thighs squirreled away, and that’s …
Catching Up Over Salmon (And Why This Recipe Exists) I have this weird tradition of making Brown Sugar Soy Sauce Salmon whenever I can’t quite decide what’s for dinner but still want folks to think I pulled off something fancy—usually a Friday, when my brain’s about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Once, years back, …
Let’s Talk Brussels Sprouts (& My Not-Guilty Obsession) If you’d told me ten years ago that I’d be waxing poetic about Brussels sprouts, I’d have laughed you right out of my kitchen. But a couple winters ago—I remember it was just after the radiator finally stopped clanging like a haunted tuba—I tried making Maple Miso …
Let Me Tell You About This Ritz Cracker Chicken Casserole I don’t know about you, but some days I just need to make dinner that tastes like childhood, you know? This Ritz Cracker Chicken Casserole recipe is basically my answer to “Mom, what’s for dinner?” when I’m already running behind, juggling half a dozen things, …
How I Fell in Love With Four-Cheese Sausage Rigatoni Honestly, this recipe is my answer to cold feet and empty bellies. First time I made it, I was trying to impress my in-laws (no pressure, right?), and I somehow managed to splatter cheese sauce everywhere but the actual pasta. They still raved about it. Maybe …
