My pursuit of a good pasta substitute continues today. I've tried just about everything: zoodles, spaghetti squash---but this is the first time I've tried pasta made out of something other than sticky, glutenous carbs. While perusing the aisles at Trader Joe's last week, I found a red lentil pasta. Intriguing. I've had whole wheat pasta… Continue reading Shrimp Fajita Pasta

15 Minute Chinese Chicken Lettuce Wraps
I originally wasn't going to take pictures/post this recipe. You see at least a trillion copycat P.F. Chang's chicken lettuce wraps on Pinterest when scrolling through boards. However, I think mine is the best of all. I'm sure other people think the same thing, but I'm not kidding---these are incredible. The best part? It only… Continue reading 15 Minute Chinese Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Spinach & Mushroom Breakfast Pie
A quick trip to Kansas was in store for Rob & I this last weekend. Rob's best friend was getting married, so we drove up on Friday to make it to the rehearsal and wedding on Saturday. Though we didn't stay for long, it was nice to take a few days off and go somewhere,… Continue reading Spinach & Mushroom Breakfast Pie
Portobello White Pizzas
Call it what you will. One of the greatest inventions of all time. The best thing since sliced bread. A food everyone can agree on. A food with thousands of different versions to choose from. A great battle between Chicago and New York. Pizza. It's the one food in our culture that not a single… Continue reading Portobello White Pizzas
White Bean & Turkey Sausage Gnocchi
You guys. You won't believe this. I got sick. Again. That's three different illnesses in two weeks. How is that even possible?! What curse did I stumble into? I've got a cough, congestion, and that's about it. I don't feel bad and I've got no fever so I guess it's just a regular cold? I'm… Continue reading White Bean & Turkey Sausage Gnocchi
Chorizo & Sweet Potato Soup
Happy New Year's Eve! I've never been a huge fan of NYE (probably because I don't really drink), but it feels refreshing to have a new beginning. 2016 hasn't been particularly excruciating for me as it has to many around the world, but it wasn't the most pleasant either. I'm definitely glad to see it… Continue reading Chorizo & Sweet Potato Soup
Spinach Salad with Bacon & Chicken
Even though I'm like, super duper prepared for fall to be here; I'm still stuck in that summer state of mind. I feel like the last few dog days of summer are sticking around like a rash you can't kick. The cicadas are still serenading in the evenings, the temperatures are still rising to sweltering… Continue reading Spinach Salad with Bacon & Chicken
Slow Cooker Curry Chicken
I love all of the smells and tastes of a good curry. Whether it is Indian curry or Thai curry, I adore them all. I'm quite partial to a good thai red curry, but I can't steer away from Indian goat curry. I've found that it is pretty difficult to interpret a curry recipe at… Continue reading Slow Cooker Curry Chicken
Porcini & Pea Risotto with Chicken Sausage
One of the very first dishes I ever cooked for my family was risotto. A bold choice for such an amateur cook, I know. Risotto isn't typically something that home cooks know how to make, and it's very time-consuming and difficult. But, about 10 years ago, I was challenged with the task of making my… Continue reading Porcini & Pea Risotto with Chicken Sausage
Key West Grilled Chicken
I don't know how to grill. There. I've said it. I got that off my chest. I've been cooking since I can remember, but I never once learned how to grill. Charcoal, propane---it's all a foreign language to me. I don't understand wood chips, I'm terrified of fire, and I don't know the first thing… Continue reading Key West Grilled Chicken
