Bacon. Lettuce. Tomato. Caesar. BLTC. Heck yeah. So I lied. I said two posts ago when I talked about stress that I'd not just share mental, physical, and spiritual symptoms of stress but also what the speaker said you can do to alleviate stress. Annnd I didn't. I left you all looking at a long list going, I have that, that, that, that, that, and that. Great. Now I'm more stressed realizing how much I show signs of stress! … [Read more...]

Spicy Kale Caesar with Chicken and Candied Pepitas
You guys. I cannot tell you how much I love this recipe. Caesar salad with kale. Plus candied nuts. Plus hot sauce. Plus chicken. I hope the pictures are conveying the deliciousness or I'm going to have to keep inventing words like deliciousness to describe it. I think I'm loving on it so much because it has everything: salty, sweet, spicy. Crunch and creaminess. Hot and cold. Fresh and cooked. It hits so many notes in one bite. … [Read more...]

Paleo Banana Blender Bread
Though I'm not strictly paleo and vow to never even remotely follow any diet again, I still cook and eat a lot of things that would be considered paleo because I do like the idea of eating whole, real food. Enter Paleo Banana Blender Bread! … [Read more...]
Spanish Radicchio Salad with Manchego
One of the best things about living in Portland was the amazing restaurants. My favorite of which was probably Toro Bravo. I think I ate there more than any other restaurant in Portland. It's a Spanish tapas type restaurant and I enjoyed it so much because most of the time the menu looked quite simple like "tomato rubbed toast" for example. What came out was … [Read more...]
Ready, Set, Spinach
Looking for a super quick, delicious, healthy side dish? Ready… set… spinach. Reality, folks. I make dishes like this all the time. Sometimes I feel like I have to share elaborate, complicated, fancy dishes on the blog. Maybe it's the overachiever/ perfectionist in me that feels like something has to be over-the-top or perfect to be well-received. But it doesn't. After all, it's not how I cook all the time! Whose standard am I following? … [Read more...]
Mexican Braised Beef
I talked in my last post about a recent trip to Tulum, Mexico for the wedding of two amazing people. I shared a few moments Dan captured from the dance floor...which deserves one last mention below. Also because that trip inspired this dish too. … [Read more...]
Simple Sautéed Plantain Slices
Wanna know what lesson I most recently learned? Take more videos! I learned this for the first time when I studied abroad in Australia. Somehow, I forgot. I lived there with two awesome ladies, Lauren & Melissa. I think it was Lauren who said, "we must take videos", and she was right. The videos are so much more fun to watch after the fact than looking at the pictures!! Hearing people's voices, hearing the way they say things, seeing … [Read more...]
Roasted Eggplant with Miso Dressing
This is one of my favorite creations as of late. I've made it time and time again. Mostly because my husband claimed he didn't like eggplant... until this dish. Do you ever feel like you make the same things over and over? Or at least you cook with the same flavors over and over? I sure do. This is such a simple dish, only 5 ingredients (minus oil, salt and pepper) and bursting with different flavors. At least they're different than my … [Read more...]
Comfy Cozy Chili
How does a comforting bowl of chili that you can make in 35 minutes or less sound? A good chili recipe is something I feel like everyone needs in their culinary arsenal. As I mentioned in my White Turkey Chili with Mushrooms post, I always associate chili with Halloween because my mom always makes chili on Halloween every year. … [Read more...]
Shredded Chicken & Tomatillo Stew
This dish uses cilantro. Let's talk about that for a second. I used to hate cilantro. Yuck. To me, it tasted like the smell of dirty socks, sweaty armpits, or B.O. (B.O.... always makes me think of this Seinfeld.) But it kept showing up in little bits in my food. A little in salsa, and I love salsa. A little in my guacamole, and I love guac. A little in some Thai food, and holy crap I love Thai food. Now, suddenly, I don't loathe … [Read more...]
Sweet Potato Spaghetti Bolognese
I went out to eat a few weekends ago to a local Durango spot. The husband and I had a little date night. Gotta keep things romantic, ya know? It was probably my favorite meal/restaurant we've had in town yet! He started with a whiskey cocktail, me with sparkling rosé, and we kicked the night off right with some oysters. Gosh, I love those things. The first time I ever had one … [Read more...]
Caesar Lover’s Salad Dressing
When I really like a food, I latch onto it for a while. I eat it all the time, as if I have blinders on and I don't see other things on the menu or in my fridge. Caesar salad is the perfect example of this. I've always loved it and I always ordered it in restaurants growing up. The two restaurants that served my favorites were Figlio and Lindey's. Figlio's was more of a vinaigrette type dressing, had nice thick grated parm, and good … [Read more...]
Parm & Parsley Spaghetti Squash
Parmesan and parsley reminds me of my mom :). She used to make me mac and cheese every day. By every day I mean every day from preschool through high school. I take that back, she didn't make it every day. It's one of the first things she taught me to cook when I was seven years old so she didn't have to do it ev-er-y-day. And I'll get into that recipe more someday, but for now I bring it up because every once in a while I'd want it just a … [Read more...]
