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...]
Lemon Blueberry Coffee Cake Bars
The other day I made PaleOMG's Banana Bread Protein Breakfast Bars and they were delicious! Here's a pic of my lunch with one of those bars the other day. I've been spoiled these last five weeks working part time with my internship. It leaves me … [Read more...]
Creamy Chicken Marsala
Chicken. Marsala. Oh, heck yes. I love chicken marsala. Seriously, one of my favorite flavors of all time. Oh man. Umm, the best. Yikes, I need to watch it or this could starting to sound like a line from Fifty Shades of Grey, all this oooh-ing and aaah-ing. Which, by the way, I haven't heard anything about the movie? Has anyone seen it yet?? Or are you all too hesitant to watch it in the theater. Waiting for the DVD, eh? I couldn't … [Read more...]
Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie
Well hello, I’ve missed you! As you may or may not have noticed, I haven’t posted since early last September. I’ve been a little MIA to say the least, but for a good reason. Let’s catch up! … [Read more...]
