I'm all about comfort foods right now. Potatoes, pasta, cookies, you name it. This whole "end of the world" thing has got me feeling a certain type of way. I know we should all be about eating healthy right now since most of us are homebound, but it's really hard given the circumstances. I'm having… Continue reading Papa Verde Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Shrimp Scampi Spaghetti Squash
That's a lot of alliteration right there in the title. Shrimp. Scampi. Spaghetti. Squash. I swear it was unintentional. It just happened. I just had a spaghetti squash ready to go the other day and shrimp scampi sounded like the perfect meal to make with it. I love that buttery, garlicky dish. It's so rich… Continue reading Shrimp Scampi Spaghetti Squash
Garlic Chicken & Spinach

I toasted the spices before mixing in the wet ingredients which really made the chili & cumin smell come out. I'm not a big chili fan, but… Continue reading White Lasagna Soup
Sausage, White Bean & Spinach Soup
A simple road trip can never be simple in my family. After two decades of traversing all over the West and Southeast with my parents, I've used a bit of that nostalgia when it comes to doing road trips with my husband. I'll plot scenic detours and edible destinations along the way. I'll research the… Continue reading Sausage, White Bean & Spinach Soup
Tortellini Alfredo Bake
Sometimes you just need a break. A moment to catch your breath. A few minutes to collect your thoughts. A night of peaceful sleep. An evening of lounging on the couch. A homemade dinner every day of the week is not in the cards for most of us. I meal prep on Sundays, and even… Continue reading Tortellini Alfredo Bake
