There's an unspoken rule in most workplaces: you don't microwave fish in the office. So what happens when fish is what you meal prep for the week? Do you bite the bullet and have your coworkers hate you for a few hours, or do you just save your fish for lunch at home? It depends… Continue reading Almond Crusted Fish

Sheet Pan Balsamic Chicken & Vegetables
What is it with sheet pans? All of mine look like someone threw them into an incinerator, pulled them out, and threw them in again for good measure. I cannot keep a sheet pan in good working condition. Even the most silver, shiny Rachael Ray one I have turned into a dark black rectangle after… Continue reading Sheet Pan Balsamic Chicken & Vegetables
Rosemary Parmesan Pork Chops
TODAY IS THE DAY. Today is, hopefully, the transition into fall. After two straight weeks of endless sun and 90 degree temperatures, a cold front should blow in later this afternoon/evening.

Immediately grab phone and peruse social media 10:30 a.m.: actually get out of bed. Try to write a blog post/watch TV. 11 a.m.:… Continue reading Margherita Chicken & Zucchini
Enchilada Meatballs

Making dinners into meatball form is like second nature to me by now. Everyone loves a little meatball, so why not take it to the limit? They're easy to make, easy to… Continue reading Enchilada Meatballs
Muffuletta Salad
New Orleans is such a great example of the "melting pot" that America became hundreds of years ago. That melting pot can really be found in the cuisine that has stood the test of time from the city. You've got cajun food, that's an Americanized version of French cooking. Creole cooking that comes from a… Continue reading Muffuletta Salad
