Where gluttony is no longer a sin.
Recipes from The Skinny Pig
Here’s what you need to know about these: they’re DELICIOUS. I was browsing around Pinterest (aka my new best friend) and I saw a ton of recipes for Instant Pot chicken tacos and my mouth immediately filled with saliva. In less gross terms, you could say I was intrigued. My […]
Now that I am finally getting the hang of this Instant Pot thing, I thought I’d try it out for one of my favorite (and easy) recipes for those gross, rainy days like today: Sloppy Joes! There’s something so nostalgic about these; when they were cooking, I felt like I […]
Avocado in pasta? YESSSSS. Ok, taste is definitely subjective, but I happen to really like it. I add in little bits of cold avocado on top of the hot pasta and it sort of melts right in, adding a creamy texture without the use of butter or cream. It’s healthier […]
Honestly, these steaks should be referred to as THICC. They were no less than 3 inches thick. I was actually borderline scared to cook them, for fear that they would come out burnt on the outside and basically raw on the inside. But then I remembered that I got some […]

I basically forgot to post this last month for Greek Easter, so here you go. As some of you probably know by now, I’m half Greek and I make a mean spanakopita, but the process with the phyllo dough can be GRUELING. It’s just a lot of work and this […]
This pasta is one of my favorites to make. It’s so easy, but it does require a certain amount of attention to detail. For example, when making the sauce, be sure to reserve a little bit of pasta water – the starches in it from cooking the pasta help to […]
I haven’t celebrated Passover in a long while (as I mentioned in a previous post), and honestly that made me a little sad. I’m not from a religious family, but it’s still something that we all used to do together, and now we just don’t. So…I thought I’d bring back […]
You know what’s great about the term “Special Sauce”? It can be literally anything. This “special sauce” is actually a bacon and shallot mixture, reduced with balsamic vinegar, then mixed with mayo to make it a creamy sauce, perfect for topping off a dry-aged burger like these beauties from Pat […]
