I thought I was done experimenting with spaghetti squash. I thought I had done all that I could with that gourd. I've made spaghetti (obviously), chicken parm, alfredo, lo mein, primavera, BBQ chicken, cajun chicken, chicken piccata, chicken marsala...all with that bright yellow squash. What's left to do?! Well, make it Caprese-style, that's what's left.… Continue reading Caprese Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Copycat Chipotle Carnitas Bowl
One of my absolute favorite fast food meals in the world is a bowl from Chipotle. When you're on the go, or in a pinch, nothing can quite satisfy that hunger like a bowl of delicious Mexican food. I use the same toppings everytime, too: grilled peppers and onions, pico, cheese, sour cream and guacamole.… Continue reading Copycat Chipotle Carnitas Bowl
Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad
I think I'm finally over the hump. The hump of, "oh my god I'm not eating sugar any more let's freak out." That hump.

But my favorite find so far is probably the… Continue reading Pimiento Cheese & Ham Breakfast Sandwich

Getting terrible smells off your fingers. I'm talking garlic and onion smells. It sticks to your fingers, especially if… Continue reading Garlic Chicken & Spinach
Unstuffed Italian Chicken
It's a major pain stuffing chicken. First off, you've got to handle raw chicken. I hate the feel of raw chicken. It's like you're trying to wrangle a slippery, salmonella-laced fish with no scales. I make sure and wash my hands 27 times after cutting or touching chicken. Then you have the "stuffing" part to… Continue reading Unstuffed Italian Chicken
Surprise Meringue Kisses
Merry Christmas Eve Eve! I can't believe it's already December 23rd. I remember putting up my tree on November 1st and that feels like just yesterday. I'm sad to see the Christmas season come and go once again, but I'm excited to have my own Christmas here at my place. My parents are in town… Continue reading Surprise Meringue Kisses
