Lemon Chicken Thighs with Risotto

After an e x t r e m e l y long month of January (it was beginning to feel 3 months long) I was skipping into February with a smile on my face. It’s been a hard balance to not wish away the months of pregnancy and preparation for baby when all I want…

Seared Scallops and Risotto

I’ve fallen IN LOVE with risotto. I don’t know if its the richness of the rice or the high flavor, but I’m completely won over and can’t get enough. Many risottos I’ve tried contain heavy cream and cheese, which can be a bit much. I have perfected this recipe that is just as delicious without…

Crepes

Having a week off of grad school, work, and everything else I put on hold for Christmas vacation means more time for breakfast! These crepes were incredible and I cannot wait to make them again! If you are as big of a crepe fan as I am, you know that these basic crepes can be…

Creamy Cilantro Chicken

Easy! Quick! Healthy! Check, check, check! May 5th, Cinco de Mayo was celebrated a few days ago. I warned my husband that I was cooking Mexican but it was something different. Our standby Mexican favorite is linked here. This recipe was a breath of fresh air, a nice spicy switch up to our usual favorite….

Smoked Chipotle Nachos

I tend to work with the same repertoire of ingredients so this recipe is was FUN and creative. I found this salsa and it totally inspired me. I feel like a good chef (I’m not actual referring to myself now;) lets ingredients shape a recipe. You have to let what speaks to you…speak to you! So this salsa was…

Lemon Blueberry Scones

In the world of teaching, we get a wonderful little gift called winter break where all the teachers and students get a much needed break from the demands, pressure, routine, and stress of school. For me, this comes in just a few short days, this time to take a deep breath and recharge. I look…

Banana Muffins with a Pecan Streusel

  I have been incredibly blessed with wonderful friends who introduced to me those little beauties. I have changed them slightly by making them more spiced, and less banana-y. I’ve been in search of a muffin that wasn’t too egg-y. So many gf/df muffins are way too dense. The flavor and consistency is spot on!…

Swedish Meatballs

I’m trying with every fiber of my being to fight the winter blues. As much as I love New York, how are we ever going to survive these cold months? I have had to become intentional about counting my blessings because it becomes a challenge to not let this dark whole of winter swallow me….

Zucchini Shrimp Scampi

. Where have I been?! It’s been a c r a z y couple of weeks around the Comley household. We’ve tried our best to enjoy the very best of each and every day we are blessed with but the recipe writing has taken the back burner…literally. We’ve been enjoying the familiar recipes and my…

Mexican Quinoa

I’m such a huge fan of Mexican food but not a fan of the way it often makes me feel. The heaviness of the rice and beans can be a bit much at times. This is such a light way to enjoy the savory flavors of a Mexican dish. Quinoa is a power food, super…
