So, Here’s the Story Behind My Cottage Cheese Lasagna Okay, so let me just say right off the bat—I didn’t actually grow up eating fancy ricotta Lasagna. Nope. My mom always made the Cottage Cheese version (probably because that’s what was in the fridge?), and honestly, it’s become my go-to comfort food. The first time …
That One Time I Burnt the Tortillas (And Made These Anyway) Let me tell you: crispy chicken tacos aren’t just a recipe; they’re basically my culinary safety net. You know those nights where the fridge situation is, shall we say, a bit desperate? That’s when these save my bacon, which is funny because I’d never …
Let Me Tell You About This Salad (Maybe Grab a Seat?) Alright, so picture this: It’s a sticky-hot July day, the kids are bouncing off the walls (I mean, almost literally), and you’re hungry, but if someone even mentions turning on the oven, you’ll just walk straight out the door. That’s basically how this Fresh …
Let Me Tell You Why I Keep Making Jambalaya Okay, buddy—pull up a chair. So, jambalaya is one of those things I accidentally fell in love with. Years ago, I actually thought it was too much work (true story), but then I made it for a New Year’s potluck—mainly because my cousin was on a …
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. But then I remember my go-to, stick-to-the-ribs, make-everyone-happy dish: this ridiculous, high-protein Marry Me Chicken Pasta. (Who came up …
Okay, Let’s Talk About Air Fryer Chicken (and My Slight Obsession) I’ll be straight with ya — I’ve tried more ways to cook chicken breasts than I care to admit. There was that stretch when I baked them practically every Wednesday and somehow always ended up with meat the texture of a bike tire. But …
So, About These Air Fryer BBQ Chicken Thighs… Alright, friend, let me set the scene: it’s one of those weeknights where everyone’s hungry (and a little bit grumpy), and I’m staring into the fridge, hoping dinner will magically appear. Spoiler: it never does. But! I do usually have some chicken thighs squirreled away, and that’s …
