Can we talk about how difficult it is to caramelize onions? Seriously. It's insane. Ain't nobody got time to babysit a pan full of low-cooking, thin strips of onions for an hour. How come nobody has thought of an easier way? Sure, you can cheat by adding a little bit of sugar, but it's still… Continue reading French Onion Pork Chops

Roasted Vegetable & Pesto Quinoa
In all my years on this planet, I've only made my own pesto once. Once! I've always just settled for the jarred stuff at the grocery store, not realizing how easy, and probably better for you, it would be to just make it myself. No preservatives, no weird ingredients you can't pronounce, and a good… Continue reading Roasted Vegetable & Pesto Quinoa
Korean Turkey Bowls
If you haven't noticed by now, I'm slightly obsessed with "bowl" meals. They just makes sense to me. If you're trying to eat better, eat healthier---the easiest thing is to throw a meal together in a bowl and chow down. I'm constantly experimenting with my bowl-making skills. Banh mi bowls, anyone? Shrimp bowls with ranch… Continue reading Korean Turkey Bowls
Spinach & Pepper Breakfast Sandwiches
My breakfast routine has stayed the same for about a year and a half now. I eat a sandwich with egg, Canadian bacon, and cheese that I make in a little breakfast sandwich maker. For a year and a half, that's the first thing I ate to kick start my day. I finally got burned… Continue reading Spinach & Pepper Breakfast Sandwiches
Turkey & Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie
I've been on this kick lately of eating comfort foods. Filling casseroles, meat and potatoes, and barbecue. Maybe it's because I know those meals won't be appetizing once summer rolls around, or maybe it's just a random craving I've been experiencing. Who knows. I've really started to enjoy shepherd's pie for dinner, though. I made… Continue reading Turkey & Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie
Curried Chicken & Rice
Curry is one of those things that's incredibly tasty when prepared by a restaurant, but really hard to make yourself. It's like chefs really hit the sweet spot of just the right amount of spice, sweetness, and tang. I've tried to make curries many times in the past and it has never turned out just right.… Continue reading Curried Chicken & Rice
Creamy Ranch Cauliflower
If you were to meet me for this first time, and you weren't quite sure where I was from, there would be one dead giveaway: my affinity for Ranch dressing. I feel like the ranch obsession kind of originated in the South. I'm not sure the yankees up north have the stomach for it like… Continue reading Creamy Ranch Cauliflower
Corned Beef Hash Quiche
Everybody has guilty pleasures. Guilty pleasure TV shows (Keeping Up with the Kardashians, anyone?), movies, books---and food. Guilty pleasure foods are some of the more interesting in the world. I can still eat a cold hot dog with ketchup just like when I was a kid. I know some people who's guilty pleasure is baby food.… Continue reading Corned Beef Hash Quiche
Corned Beef & Cabbage Pasta
Unlike what most retailers would lead you to believe, corned beef and cabbage is NOT just a holiday meal. Heck no! You can eat that incredibly salty meal year-round if your heart desires. I'm mainly trying to convince you all that corned beef isn't just a once-a-year-dish...so you can try out this phenomenal recipe. I did, in… Continue reading Corned Beef & Cabbage Pasta
Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
It has only been one day since Villanova lost, and with it my dreams of being that 1 in 9,223,372,036,854,777,808 to fill out a perfect bracket was lost with them. Thinking that Villanova was going to make it further in the tournament, I had planned to make a Villanova-inspired recipe for Meal Madness this weekend. Well, I'm… Continue reading Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
