There's just something about sweet potatoes. I'm guessing it's the carby one-two punch. First, you get a potato. Second, you inject it with sugar. How could anything go wrong?! I've been going to town on some sweet potatoes lately. Tomorrow is our work Thanksgiving potluck, and guess what I'm bringing? Yep: sweet potatoes. My favorite… Continue reading Roasted Sweet Potato Salad
Pineapple Chicken
Effortless. Simple. Quick. Those three words are what I look for in most of my meal-prepping recipes.

I love this time of year. It's both Christmasy and Fall-y and beautiful and cool. I wish every month of the year could be like this.… Continue reading Sausage & Apple Hash
Chopped Harvest Salad
It's the Christmas season, y'all! And no, I didn't forget about Thanksgiving. I like to celebrate Christmas for as long as humanly possible---and as long as the public will let me. Celebrating before November is typically frowned upon. When the clock strikes midnight on November 1st, all bets are off. I've had my holidy Spotify… Continue reading Chopped Harvest Salad
