This might be one of my favorite comfort food mix-ups yet, y’all. Lasagna is no joke in my house. There is something amazing that happens when you bake layers of sharp tomato sauce, beef, Italian seasoned ricotta, and creamy mozzarella together. The result is 100% comfort. I’ve teamed up with Gardein to show you how I turned…

15 Minute Shrimp Scampi
I basically survived on 15 minutes meals last month. Between running around town snapping photos for upcoming spring menus in Nashville, working on a redesign for the blog, and everything else that everyday life throws into the mix, I have found myself getting home not really wanting to cook for an hour. If you don’t…
Champagne Onion Rings
SPRING is here, y’all! I know I’ve been whiny and complaining about the nasty cold weather, rainy whatever, so I’m here to celebrate the 80 degree days that we have been having in Nashville by popping a few bottles into my glass as well as the fryer. Why not, right? Around here, you can fry just…
Bourbon Glazed Burger
Beef and bourbon. Two southern staples that are held completely sacred around here. Put them together you say? Why, I think I just might! — A solid burger is probably my choice for my last meal (with killer fries, of course). I’ve been on a kick of grinding cuts of meat myself at home for…
Chicken Caesar Naan Tacos
I don’t have kids. I mean… I don’t have children, per say. My two cats seem to be a lot of work, but since I’ve weaned them from their diapers, it’s pretty simple. Lots of my friends have tiny kids that seem to be a lot of work. Getting them ready for school, rushing them off…
Coffee Crusted Burger with Chipotle Mayo
I know… I know. This may sounds a bit weird. BUT think about it. Coffee shares a lot of great features with a great grilled burger. The depth of flavor, the richness. For a unique twist on the regular ol’ BBQ’d burger, I’m going to show you my secret summer recipe.
Chicken Pot Pie for One
Do y’all ever have those moments when you have to make dinner, but can’t don’t want to get up from binge watching Chopped/Grey’s Anatomy/Top Chef/House of Cards/OITNB? Story. of. my. life. I’ve got y’all covered on this one. I’m sharing my favorite dinner-for-one recipe– Chicken Pot Pie for One. I’m sure none of you know…
Rotisserie Chicken BBQ Flatbread
Spring has arrived. Y’all know what that means… It’s grillin’ time! I am totally one of those people that try to fire up the grill all year long. At some point, because Nashville has some crazy up and down weather stuff going on, I just have to give in and pull out the grill pan instead inside…
Chicken Tinga Tacos with Mango
Taco Tuesday… Taco Wednesday… Taco Thursday. Tacos errrrryday! My go-to simple meal when I am too tired (lazy) to put much effort into dinner is to pull out the tortillas. It’s ridiculous how quickly you can whip together some delicious tacos and be back on the couch ready to pass out in just minutes. Recently,…
World’s Best Brussels Sprouts
It may surprise all of you that I was never the kid that just begged for more greens on my plate. I would qualify a couple (literally) green beans as having my share of vegetables that I was required. Logically, I still think I was in the right. I still prefer a plate of monotoned…
