As we near the end of summer, I thought I’d share this bright and lemony shrimp recipe. Why? Because it’s delicious and it’s low carb. I think that’s what summer is all about, right? Honestly, all I know is I’m ready for Football season – I’m much more of a […]

Julia Child’s Beef Bourguignon (Sort of)
The reason I say “sort of” is because…this recipe. Have you ever seen her original recipe for Beef Bourguignon? It’s about 27 steps. Ok it’s actually 10, but when you break down how many times you have to take out X, put in Y, and throw Z into the oven, […]
Honey-Sesame Broiled Salmon with Scallions
This is going to be a weird statement, but I really only love salmon when I make it myself. I can’t understand it either, but a lot of times when I order it in restaurants, it’s not cooked to my liking. I don’t like my salmon too rare, so maybe […]
The BEST and EASIEST Pomodoro Sauce
No really. This is the best and I’m obsessed with it. I will caveat that this is adapted from the NYT Cooking blog. A friend told me about it and I fell in love with it. It’s so good and seriously, so simple. I think the only way you could […]
PB Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies
Yes, you read that right. PROTEIN. COOKIES. I’m not going to lie to you, these cookies are in no way better than real PB chocolate chip cookies made with butter, sugar, flour, unicorn dust, etc. But for protein cookies that have NO refined sugar, no butter, and barely any fat/carbs, […]
Easy, Slow-Roasted Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Is it me or do the words “slow-roasted” conjure up images of a crackling fire in a log cabin, Barry White, and candles? Just me? Cool. My point is, when I hear those words followed by some form of meat, I feel like it’s always going to be good. Slow-roasting […]
Cooking With: FreshDirect – Spicy Korean Pork Farro Bowl (VIDEO)
As you know, I’ve been a big fan of FreshDirect for a long time now, and the latest addition of Meal Kits are part of my latest obsession. This one stood out to me though, because I have never made anything like this in my life and I always thought […]
Cooking With: FreshDirect Meal Kits – Lemon Parmesan Pasta (VIDEO)
I am loving these FreshDirect Meal Kits, I can’t lie. They’re so easy to follow, the portions are perfect (for two) and they give you inspiration for future meals (aka, it makes you realize that cooking is NOT that hard). I’ve made variations on all of the meal kits I’ve […]
SheetPan Con Tomate and Mozzarella
This is one of the best things I’ve ever made. Not kidding. And the sheetpan pun is sending me. If you’ve ever been to Barcelona (or any Spanish tapas restaurant), you might recognize the term “pan con tomate”. It’s toasted bread that’s rubbed with olive oil, garlic, and tomato, and […]
Mom’s Pastitsio (Greek Lasagna) Recipe
A classic in my house around Easter, this pastitsio aka “Greek lasagna”, is always a hit. It’s much richer (and slightly more time intensive) than regular lasagna, but allow me to tell you that it is totally worth it. The flavors are unique with notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, and […]
