Maple Dijon Sheet Pan Chicken

I’ve never thought of myself as someone who likes mustard. I like dressing with mustard in it to give it a good tang, but you’ll never find me adding mustard to sausage or sandwiches. I ate a similar recipe to the one you are about to read here and couldn’t place my finger on the…

Seafood Foil Boil

A few years ago, my cousin introduced me to this concept of a ‘foil boil’. We enjoyed a bunch of yummy seafood and sausage in a delicious cajun sauce in a big foil container and cooked it over the grill. It was divine! I’ve changed up this recipe a few times but this is the…

Chicken Teriyaki Skewers

I have made many many many marinades that are good, even great. However, teriyaki is something that often misses the mark when it comes to consistency. When you are ordering take out, sauce is thick and rich in flavor. It’s also rich in so many other things that are far from wholesome. This recipe has…

Greek Chicken Bowls

I recently traveled and visited a beautiful Greek eatery and enjoyed some delicious, authentic Greek food. I’ve always been attracted to fresh ingredients and Greek food certainly fits into that category. This Greek Chicken Bowl happened organically as I purchased a bunch of fresh herbs and veggies and created a beautiful medley of flavor. I…

Sundried Tomato Pesto Pasta with Shrimp

I love when recipes come about spontaneously! This was another “throw together whatever is in the fridge” meal. Even though it was unplanned, it turned out so delicious! It’s no surprise that I love sundried tomatoes and this recipe is bursting with that tangy flavor. You can swap this with chicken or sausage. For my…

Stuffed Acorn Squash

I love to have these beauties during the peak of fall. I’ve tweaked this recipe a few times. You can use ground turkey or sausage depending on your preference. If you use ground turkey I would highly recommend seasoning it a great deal with salt, pepper, fennel and oregano. I also think these make great…

Meatballs

I never liked meatballs as a kid. I was always a sauce and pasta kind of girl, but I did always prefer parm cheese and butter the most. As funny as this sounds, my relationship to meat changed when I changed my eating habits. The more I ate it, the more I liked it. The…

Shrimp Tacos

I had this crazy idea that I wanted to claim one day every week as ‘taco day’ and we would have a different type of taco on this day. I know I’m late to the game on this since Taco Tuesday has notorious been a thing for years, but I wanted different tacos each week….

Greek Style Chicken & Veggies

It took me a few minutes to come up with a title for this recipe. I knew I wanted Greek in the title, but I hated the word ‘sheet pan’, even though this is a sheet an meal. There is nothing delicious about the word ‘sheet pan’, unless you count the fact that clean up…

Pumpkin Risotto

Pumpkin, although an autumn favorite, is timeless to me. If you find a good canned pumpkin and stock up (such as my favorite trader joe’s organic canned pumpkin) you can enjoy pumpkin recipes all year long. If you read through my recipes, you know how much I love my dutch oven. This recipe uses the…
