In case you didn’t know, my memoir will be called Not Worth the Dishes. It’s how I gauge new recipes, especially ones that involve a ton of pots and pans or whatever. The more complicated something is, the better it should taste. That leads me to my favorite quick and easy meal: Mediterranean Flatbread Pizza. […]

Bon Appetit: Bean Salsa
Updated July 2021. It should be apparent at this point in time that I’m a lazy cook. I love easy meals or dishes that just involve dumping things together, and that can feed me for a long while. This bean salsa is the perfect recipe for taco night, potlucks, and even salads. It’s a light […]
Baking Staples Every Kitchen Needs
I like to think that my kitchen is almost always ready for my next baking endeavor. I have a “baking box” of backup supplies on hand at any given time. These baking staples are simple, inexpensive, and good to have on hand (even if you aren’t baking). Baking Staples For Your Pantry & Fridge A […]
Bon Appetit: Fresh Italian Pizza Recipe
Did you know that February 9th is National Pizza Day? For me, pizza is always one of those indulgent things, especially when you go out for it. However, did you know how simple it is to make your own pizza at home? Whether you make your own crust (which I have done, but not for […]
How to Cook for a Crowd
I’ve always liked the idea of entertaining. I turn into the mom at the party, making sure everyone is fed and has something to drink, no matter where I am. Recently, I had the opportunity to have a few friends over and make dinner. For starters, hosting can be expensive! I opted for a bit […]
Restaurant Style Guacamole At Home
Happy National Guacamole Day! I’m going to tell you something that may surprise you. I don’t like avocados. I just don’t understand the point! They’re flavorless mush. Yeah, healthy fat and all that, but really? What’s the hype? Maybe that’s why I was able to afford my house. I’m one of those millennials who didn’t […]
Creamy Turkey Chili
We’re in that weird season between winter and spring when it’s randomly warm in the afternoon for a couple of hours, but you’re generally pretty chilly the rest of the day. I’ve been in a love-hate relationship with my crock pot because meals never turn out the way that I want. Then, I found this […]
Perfect Pasta Salad Recipe
I know I eat pasta salad a lot. Seriously, it’s just the most delicious and versatile food. It’s a great way to sneak in vegetables and jazz up a boring salad. Which brings me to my Perfect Pasta Salad recipe. I make this all the time. It’s loosely based off of a pasta salad recipe […]
Healthy Zucchini Protein Brownies
If I’ve made anything clear, it’s that I love sneaking vegetables into sweets. It makes me feel less guilty. Plus, if I can sneak some sort of protein in there, EVEN BETTER. I’m traveling for work this week. It just so happened that I had some zucchini I wasn’t able to eat before I leave. […]
Lemon Zucchini Bread
I loved getting back in the kitchen to bake so much that I didn’t just stop at the Fluffy Ginger Snaps. I’m a HUGE fan of lemon. Don’t put lemon in my water, but give me a lemon square over cake just about any day…Did I really just say that? I had some extra lemons […]
