We’re essentially in full swing of flu season around this time of year, so immunity is at the top of my mind for sure. I needed a quick reset after just weeks of eating whatever I wanted, catching a cold, and just feeling under the weather and un-energized. So I turned to the answer for most things…

Whole Wheat Veggie Pasta
This recipe for Whole Wheat Veggie Pasta has been with me for YEARS! To be honest, I haven’t really shared it with you all because I assumed it was “too easy.” Too easy? Don’t ya’ll like easy recipes? I know I do. My mom used to make this when we would have a chill night…
Creamy Garlic & Mushroom Pasta
We’re getting closer to cozy season, which means it’s time for cozy food! My cousin had sent me a recipe that involved a whole bunch of chicken and cream cheese and it sounded absolutely divine. But quite frankly, I wasn’t in the mood for chicken and rice, and with everything happening in our environment right…
Spicy Cajun Pasta with Chicken Sausage
When I was a kid, I was obsessed with Cajun flavored anything. It was my gateway drug into spicy food. If Cajun chicken pasta was on the menu, you better believe I was ordering it. There’s just something about a spicy, creamy, carby dish that is irresistible. That’s what brings me to this Spicy Cajun…
Caprese Salad with Burrata
My family has a special relationship with caprese salad. We say it in all types of ways, but “CAH-PRAY-ZEE,” is probably the most popular way we say it amongst my “CAH-RAY-ZEE” family. My brother, Michael, though has taken it to a new level. One word: BURRATA. My brother is a champ in the kitchen and…

Giardiniera Chicken Sandwiches
I’d like to introduce an old favorite to you. You see, this sandwich was something I invented when I was trying to lose weight after college, but wanted something ridiculous and delicious and cheesy all at the same time. And you know what? It’s stood the test of time and I STILL crave it (for…
Spicy Pasta Fagiole Soup
You guys have no idea how long I’ve wanted to share this recipe with you. This is a soup my mom has been making since I was a kid. Our family calls this Arrabiata Soup, but it’s simply a spicy twist on pasta fagiole. I absolutely love it. It’s hearty, it’s tasty, it’s spicy. It’s…
Cacio e Pepe
Cacio e pepe. Grown up macaroni & cheese. Cheesy, peppery heaven in a bowl. Whatever you call it, it’s an Italian classic and one of my favorite dishes to create. I made this one on a whim. I just wanted pasta at 11:00 pm one night, as one does, and whipped this one up. And…
Loaded Baked Potato Mac & Cheese
The potato. It’s the king of all foods. All of your nutrition needed in one big bulbous vegetable. Could you make it better? Perhaps with jalapeno? Or bacon? OR CHEESE? I partnered with Chateau Dumplings to produce this over the top, indulgent dish. I took my basic macaroni and cheese recipe and took it up…
