For Spring Break, Warren was supposed to go to Cuba for work while I stayed home mourning (i.e., snuggling with sweet Felix while his pops wandered through sugar cane fields) but plans fell through and I had to instead soothe Warren’s mourning soul with a big batch of our newest favorite taco meat–Cuban Pork Roast! Eating this was basically like our whole…
Main Dish
Crunchy Breaded Salmon With Chobani Yogurt
Crunchy Breaded Salmon combines Chobani® Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt with Italian panko crumbs to create a delicious meal that is simple enough for weeknights and elegant enough for a holiday dinner! Growing up, every time my brother bust out a cedar plank I knew something good was in the works. Just the sight of that plank was…
Arepas With Guasacaca
The first time I had Venezuelan arepas was just before we moved to Michigan, when Warren and I stayed with our much cooler friends in New York City. They, of course, knew all the good places to eat and immediately trotted us down to an arepas shop and promised that we would not regret the eons-long line. And, friends, we did…
Easy Slow Cooker Carnitas
Like any self respecting carnivore I have a serious thing for carnitas–I mean, what’s not to love about crackling hot, crispy pork enveloped in a corn tortilla hug and loaded with all the salsas? Unless you don’t eat meat–which is totally fine by me–but also I defer to Ron Swanson on all meat-related matters. And all matters, generally speaking….
Easy Thai Red Curry
You know, I heard about pregnancy cravings but never really understood how they can hit you so suddenly and with such fervor you literally cannot think another reasonable thought until you satisfy the craving. The craving, for me, manifests itself as a compulsive voice in my head: “MUST EAT ___” on repeat. Lately, that obsessive…
Orzo Salad With Asparagus, Feta, And Pistachios (+ Baby Shower & T Swift!)
\ Friends, rejoice! Summer–or at least summer-ish–weather has finally descended upon Michigan and it is good. In usual summer mode, I’ve been eating my weight in watermelon, strawberries, and fresh corn. Warren planted me a little garden for our anniversary this year and we have anxiously been watching it grow. Our watermelon has sprouted, as has the broccoli,…
Pan Fried Goat Cheese And Strawberry Salad With Poppy Seed Dressing
Why, hello, lovelies! It feels so good to be back in this space after spending the last few weeks traveling, seeing so many dear loved ones, and eating my way through a few states (and Mexico)! I am so filled with inspiration–and also brimming with travel photos to share–but before I dive into all that goodness, I…
Pan Fried Steak With Chimichurri Sauce
Friends! I hope you had the loveliest long weekend, which was extra long for me since I took Friday off, too (huzzah). We did so much nursery-ing and I can’t wait to share some of our projects with you in a little bit. Many of said projects involved using my sewing machine, which is always a scary…
Ricotta Frittata
If meals were spirit animals, mine would be brunch. I am an equal opportunist when it comes to my favorite meal–be it sweet, savory, or both–and I’m also not opposed to Brunch-for-Lunch or Brinner. Pretty much, if there is a breakfast food in sight, I want to eat it, a la Ron Swanson. Which brings…
Lamb Leg Steaks With Lemon, Walnut, And Feta Israeli Couscous
You guys, I can’t even believe March is almost over–I have been slogging through a crazy project at work that is finally coming to an end so I feel like I didn’t even get to experience March at all! Luckily, the project will wrap just in time for April and spring’s true arrival in Michigan….
