It’s that time of year again, tomato season!!! The farmer’s market was absolutely full with tomatoes when I went on Monday. So obviously I bought as much as I could carry and have been making tons of veggie based recipes all week, much to Tai’s dismay (he is a fully fledged meat eating man,…
One Pan Garlic and Herb Chicken with Pasta
It’s happening soon….School is starting up again and summer is ending for kids. Even though it’s been a few years since I finished college, I still feel that same decline in August as summer is winding down and back to school sales are everywhere. And it starts to become that time again where we…
Blueberry Pecan Bread Pudding
Bread Pudding, as I have come to know it, combines two of the worlds best meals; breakfast and dessert. It has the sweetness and deliciousness of your favorite dessert but the bread and the carbs of your favorite breakfast. When I went to Disney World with Tai and my family earlier this year I…
Zucchini Ribbons with Basil Pesto
Summer is amazing right? Everything just feels so vibrant and full of life. I love going to the farmer’s market during the summer because it is just so full and exciting. Each stall is packed with fresh fruits and veggies, it’s hard to not be impressed. I decided to make a dish from items found…
Double Chocolate Fudge Brownies
Another day, another challenge from a coworker to update a favorite recipe. I love being challenged and my coworkers like to give me ideas of what to bake. I mean, they get the treats after I’m done baking and shooting them, so they are REALLY invested in helping me come up with ideas. This…
Spicy Fiesta Chicken with Queso Sauce
There’s something about hot summer days that make me crave Mexican food. Maybe I need my food to be as hot as it is outside, but the spicer it is, the better it tastes. I had been craving some sort of Mexican food all week and couldn’t wait to start experimenting this weekend. And…
Spicy Orange Chicken Stir Fry
Do you ever get that feeling where you crave takeout Chinese food but you know it’s too hot out to actually eat takeout Chinese food? Yup, that was me this week. New York has hit a scorching 90+ degrees everyday this week, and it feels even hotter when you factor in humidity. Don’t even…
Honey Almond Salmon
After all of the sweets that we have been eating, Tai and I decided we were long overdue for a healthy meal. So the other night I grabbed some salmon from the grocery store on my way home from work and decided to see what we could come up with. And our little experiment…
One Pan Creamy Parmesan Chicken and Linguine
Ok I’ll admit it….I am a Chopped addict and I have been binge watching it on Netflix recently. There. I finally said it. I was watching an episode where the chefs had to use food scraps in their meals and one of the ingredients was parmesan cheese rinds. And that’s when the lightbulb went…
Cinnamon Blueberry Custard Bars
July is the beginning of the BEST season; Blueberry Picking Season! Coming from New England this was a huge part of my childhood. We would pick blueberries every summer at our town beach. My mom would give my sister and I ziploc bags to fill up and we’d spend most of the day crawling…
