here’s hoping. [roasted bell pepper & tortellini soup]

December 18th, 2020 by | comments

Although I’m not a huge soup fan, I’ve got to say, this roasted bell pepper and tortellini soup was incredible. I was only able to try a very small bite, since I just had a major gum graft surgery, but my husband and mom both tried the soup and said it tasted as delicious as it smelled. Here’s hoping I’ll be healed up sooner rather than later so I can make this again and actually enjoy a bowl!

from scratch. [homemade lasagna bolognese w. ricotta & spinach]

December 14th, 2020 by | comments

Is there anything more comforting and delicious than lasagna? Better yet, homemade lasagna? This recipe is made completely from scratch (well, almost) and is worth every hour it takes to make. The dish is layered with homemade noodles, followed by a 3-hour ragu, a spinach and ricotta mixture, and shredded mozzarella cheese. I’m drooling just trying to explain it – SO good!

best I ever had. [smashburger w. stone ground mustard aioli]

October 11th, 2020 by | comments

I’m SO excited to share my smashburger recipe using none other than United Harvest meat. Their ground beef is honestly some of the best I’ve ever tasted, made from a unique blend of angus beef and waygu fat, giving the meat an insanely delicious and deep flavor. Better yet, their meat is free of hormones, feed additives, and unnecessary antibiotics. The meat is delicious and mouth watering on its own, but pairs perfectly with my homemade stone ground mustard aioli and classic burger toppings.

United Harvest is running a promo right now for 2lbs of FREE ground beef with orders of $99 or more, so you can give it a try too! Just use code TWOFREE via this link. Go, go, go!

fire up the griddle. [classic smash burger]

May 29th, 2020 by | comments

To celebrate National Burger Day yesterday AKA my favorite day of the year, I decided to try my hand at the classic smash burger. Gathering inspiration from the delicious cheeseburger at Burgers Never Say Die in Los Angeles, this burger is classic and simple yet packed with flavor. The sharpness of the diced raw onion pairs perfectly with the ketchup, yellow mustard and vinegary pickles. If you are able to locate Martin’s Potato Rolls sandwich rolls, they really take this burger (and any burger/sandwich, really) over the top!

never go back. [homemade lasagna bolognese]

April 22nd, 2020 by | comments

Now that I’ve made lasagna entirely from scratch, I can honestly say I never want to go back to store-bought noodles – which is somewhat unfortunate, because this recipe will take hours of your time. But if you enjoy cooking (and lasagna) as much as I do, it won’t matter because it is SO worth it in the end! The homemade noodles make all of the difference and take this lasagna to another planet. The ingredient list and instructions may appear a bit daunting, but please don’t let that deter you from making this delicious dish!

non-traditional. [irish nachos]

November 18th, 2019 by | comments

Growing up, one of my favorite things to order when out to dinner with my family was Irish nachos. Although traditional Irish nachos are made with sliced potatoes, I have always preferred the versions made with french fries. I was inspired to recreate this delicious dish over the weekend to accompany a day full of football. Since I was just making this dish for myself and my husband, the portion size is for approximately two people, but go ahead and double or triple the ‘recipe’ (it’s not much of a recipe!) if you are entertaining more guests.

Wow, it’s been a minute since I’ve posted! With work getting busier by the minute, I haven’t had as much time to document all of my recipes, but I am trying to get back on track. I made this jalapeño popper dip over Christmas break and it was to.die.for. It was an absolute hit with friends and family and you can bet I will be making it again soon!
