Quick and Easy Enchilada Casserole with Pulled Adobo Chicken [Instant Pot]
I had grand plans to make enchiladas this week – I meal-prepped the pulled chicken in the Instant Pot on Sunday and had all of the ingredients and toppings pulled out. But, life with a toddler brought me in a different direction. L was so excited to ‘help’ me, which filled my heart, but it […]
Blackened Chicken Garden Salad
It has been over a year since I’ve posted a recipe here on the blog. This year has been grueling, exhausting, and one of deep reflection! It feels fitting to return to the blog with a simple salad – one that requires minimal steps but also some necessary comfort. Over this past year our household […]
Crock Pot Chicken and Lentil Stew
A few weeks ago my blog turned 4! Four whole years of teaching myself to cook and building my confidence in the kitchen.

I must say, having a 4th of July birthday is a pretty special treat. Growing up one of my favorite birthday traditions was competing with my friends in an obstacle course we created around our house. One at a time each of my friends would enter the circuit of elements from skip it, to […]
The Shrimp Taco Experiment
Apparently today is National Taco Day, and without knowing it I made tacos for breakfast and for dinner! According to my father “these are not tacos — this is just food wrapped in a taco shell.” But, I argued that the definition of a taco is broad. Plus, these do have guacamole, cajun seasoned shrimps, […]
Chipotle Chicken Burrito Bowl Lunches
September is here! Back to school, back to making weekly lunches on Sunday, back to finding a routine that is intentional and fulfilling. As this summer comes to a close it is striking to step back and reflect on all of change that occurred in only a few months. It has felt as though […]
Grilled Salmon with Avocado Salsa
Tonight we had a salmon feast to round out a week of celebrations! While we chose to make this week of school vacation a ‘staycation’ it ended up to be filled with day after day of reasons to raise a glass. Here are just some of the highlights. On Easter Sunday last weekend we spent […]
