Chardonnay Braised Pork Chops


Ok, so I have to be honest. This dish is actually adapted from a recipe that my sister made for dinner one night. It was so damn good, I had to make my own version! And now I think braised pork chops are my new favorite way to eat them. In fact, this may be the only way I eat…

Sweet Potato, Egg, and Quinoa Bowl


I really like the idea of going meatless one day a week. I’m not even sure that my fiance has realized that we do this, but he also doesn’t seem to mind! I think that’s because vegetarian does not mean that the meal isn’t satisfying, and this dish is a perfect example of that. It’s still incredibly hearty, and there’s…

Healthy Fish and Chips


Hey there! I’m coming at you with another recipe makeover here! This time it’s a classic- fish and chips, which is typically fried fish, fried potatoes, and a heavy coleslaw.

A healthy, quick, delicious to make Chicken Posole in your slow cooker!

Slow Cooker Chicken Posole


Posole is one of those recipes that brings back memories for me. I’m thinking Christmas morning, heading over to celebrate the holiday at my PapaCino’s house. That’s my cute little name for my Grandpa. It meant family, joy, togetherness, and a sense of warmth. Great food, great people, great days. I would also look over rather squeamishly at the menudo…

Creamy Mushroom Beef with Cauliflower Rice


Ok, so I tried to make this dish have a nice, descriptive name. I really did! Because would you like to know the other names it goes by? They don’t sound quite as appetizing to me, but maybe you’ll recognize one: creamed beef, shit-on-a-shingle (aka SOS beef), or my family’s favorite- “the meal”. We always knew what Dad was making when…
