Tortilla soup is one my top 5 favorite soups. It puts me in the fall spirit. It’s soothing, spicy, and filling. This soup is also one of those that just gets better with each day in the fridge. Perfect for a Sunday meal prep! This soup reminds me of one you could get in any…

Easy Roast Chicken
There isn’t a more soothing smell I can think of than a chicken roasting in the oven. It makes the house smell so good, and makes me feel like everything is okay. I like to do two chickens once a month or so. We eat the first chicken for dinner that night, with potatoes and…
Kale + Sausage Gnocchi
The only dumplings I’d had until I was in my early 20’s was from my mom’s chicken and dumplings. She makes drop dumplings, which means you mix up the dough and simply plop it into the simmering broth to cook. When done, they have a pillowy texture and a nice chew in the center. They…
Easy Pork and Spinach Meatballs
Growing up, we were exclusively a meat sauce house. That means the only meatballs I ever had were the ones from the school cafeteria that had undoubtedly been frozen and thawed, then stewed for hours waiting for school children. Don’t get me wrong, my mom’s meat sauce is delicious, especially in the past few years….
Instant Pot Carnitas
Have you ever eaten a dish at a restaurant and thought, “I wish I could make that”. This is exactly what happened last weekend. We had a lovely weekend spending time with my husband’s brother, sister-in-law, and nephew. We don’t get to see them all that often, and it makes it extra sweet to see…

I’m always on the hunt for dinner options that are fun, easy, and the whole family likes. These crispy chicken taquitos fit the bill. They are perfect served with a simple guacamole and pico de gallo. Baking these gives the crunch I was craving without having to deep fry and grease up my whole kitchen….

Is it ever too early to prep your super bowl menu? I think not. I must confess, my favorite part of most holidays is menu planning. I could care less who is playing, but bring on the endless appetizers! These honey barbecue chicken wings are going to be perfect for the big game in a…
Curry Coconut Fish
I am in the haze of post Christmas pre-New Years when all you want to do is avoid taking down Christmas decorations, sleep in, and eat all the leftover Christmas cookies. We traveled to my parents house for Christmas this year. As much fun, excitement, and quality family time as it brought, it also left…
Tex-Mex Stuffed Acorn Squash
Texas was hit with a cold front this week. A haul in the fig tree and succulents kind of cold front. It was glorious. We made a fire in the backyard, got to wear our cozy once-a-year flannel, and made this delicious fall-inspired dish. If you have not tried acorn squash, and are not too…
Tourtière
A delicious French Acadian meat pie sure to please your in-laws.
Gluten Free Fried Shrimp
I believe I have gushed about my love of gulf shrimp in a previous post, so I will not bore you with a second account of why and how much I love my favorite protein. Suffice to say, I try to work shrimp into our meal plan as often as my family will let me….
