Life is always busy around the holidays, and it can be especially hard to keep a good diet or meal prep plan around the holidays. Luckily, I have the perfect dish that is not only a cozy bowl of pasta, but is also full of lean protein and vegetables….Orecchiette with Hot Italian Sausage! This is…
Um, did I get that title right? Award WINNING Hot Sausage Beer Cheese Dip? I literally never come in first place for anything, so to my shock, my dip that I had entered into The Tipsy Housewife (April), The Chicago Good Life (Christine), and Sassy Confetti’s (Alex) first annual Dip Party Extravaganza won! I dipped,…
Is there anything more indulgent than truffles? How about a cheesy black truffle pasta? I’m convinced you can sprinkle truffles on anything it’d be great. Seriously, I dare you to challenge me. Anyway, I recently came across Sabatino Truffle Zest. Seeing as I’m not made of money and can’t just spring to buy a chunk…
I’m throwing down a classic here, and I have to tell you, you’re going to like it. This dish has been something I’ve been making for years, usually when I am on a diet and need a pasta fix and looking for a healthy serving of protein. Bowtie pasta with Italian sausage…what more can you…
It’s not even fall yet, but there’s a chill in the air in Chicago which means one thing: CASSEROLE SEASON. I mean, what could be better than chicken an rice casserole? Something, warm, creamy, sometimes cheesy and always full of carbs…except not this time. You see, this girl has a figure to maintain, and while…

Lunch is my favorite meal of the day, and also my worst enemy. Ever since I was a kid, I looked forward to lunch…maybe because I would often skip breakfast. Regardless, nothing delights me more than mini-dinner in the middle of the day. With that, ever since I’ve been let loose in the working world…
Tzaziki. What a magical word. Along with “tahini,” it’s one of my favorite words around. Even better, this homemade tazaziki recipe is delicious and easy to make. I absolutely love any Mediterranean meal that I can get my hands on. This tzaziki recipe pairs perfectly with any Greek chicken or vegetable spread that I want….
Who doesn’t need a quick pasta fix? I know every now and then I do. Pasta is one of my favorite things to eat (hence my blog name), and while walking home from work one day, it sprung to me that I would cook up a quick veggie pasta with red sauce. Now I call…
Thai food, how I love thee. I really only order a couple of things if I’m ever out for Thai food, but basil chicken is probably my favorite. Now, I’ll start off by saying this recipe was a total accident. Last week, I made this rice noodle stir fry that was a total disaster, mostly…
