How else am I supposed to describe this pasta? Just Aglio e Olio? BORING. I know that’s technically what it is, but I don’t care. I’ve had a hard day and this was quite literally the only thing that went right. Fuck, it may be the only thing of 2020 […]

Whole Roasted Cauliflower w/Roasted Garlic Tahini Drizzle
First things first: I’ll admit I was winging the roasted garlic tahini drizzle situation and not measuring, but I can tell you that it was very close to my Tahini Ranch. I didn’t add onion powder, garlic powder, or cayenne in this one, but that’s because I happened to have […]
Perfect Red Lentil Soup w/Lemon
Here’s the thing with this soup: it’s really hard to mess up. I have made it now probably three times, each time changing a little something here and there, and it still comes out awesome every time. But the fresh squeeze of lemon? ESSENTIAL! This is one of those soups […]
Perfect Pumpkin Bread with Chocolate Chips
As you may or may not know, I am not a baker. I find it satisfying as hell when I can bake something that comes out good though, so this is one of those moments. FreshDirect actually had the canned pumpkin (you’d think it was toilet paper or something because […]
Easy Brown Sugar Baked Chicken
I don’t know about you guys but I kind of hate cooking chicken breasts. They’re hard to get right, and they’re usually pretty boring. But I finally found a way to make them taste good and most importantly, hard to screw up. The key here is the brown sugar and […]

Mom’s Sausage and Peppers
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill sausage and pepps from CitiField. Though I do loves me some Premio stand, ballpark sausage. Remember baseball games? Those were cool. Anyway, my mom has been making sausage and peppers this way (with tomatoes) for a while and I have to say, I’m hooked. I have […]
Instant Pot Creamy Lemon-Broccoli Chicken with Burst Grape Tomatoes
If you don’t like lemon, this recipe is not for you. Let’s just get that out of the way. This is a pretty lemony dish, but obviously you could cut back on the lemon if you really wanted to. I happen to love it, but everyone is different. I think […]
Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps w/Avocado
I decided to be low carb today, and I had a rotisserie chicken in the fridge that needed to be used, so this is what I came up with. Easy peasy! I love buffalo sauce and will eat it on pretty much anything, but buffalo chicken is probably my favorite […]
Easy Vodka Sauce
I’ll be honest, this is one of those things I wish I tried to make earlier. Because it was SO MUCH EASIER than I thought! Ugh, regrets. All those days when I ordered in penne alla vodka when I could have just made it myself. Just kidding, I don’t really […]
