Jalapeno Poppers
Growing up we never had much fanfare on mother’s day; my mother would say that all she really wanted was to “just be together.” As we did with most holidays, we would sit around the table, while my grandmother and great-grandmother recounted family tales, drive each other slightly crazy, but most of all meticulously talk […]
Jalapeno Turkey Meatballs
It has been a while since I’ve posted here and so much has changed. Across the globe we are confined to our homes, juggling work, parenting and connection, and just taking life one day at a time. Sleep isn’t as restorative as it was a few months ago (which says a lot coming from someone […]
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. Over the course of almost 200 recipes I’ve built a battery of weeknight dishes, learned how to prepare healthy lunches for the week, experimented with the instant pot, and become more and […]
Spicy Sweet Potato and Beef Stuffed Peppers

Jalapeno Herbed Salmon over Smashed Potatoes [Instant Pot]
Summer has arrived and with that comes longer nights and just a bit more time to make dinner after work. I’ve been playing around more and more with the Instant Pot to find recipes that are enhanced by using this tool. Turns out the Instant Pot is quite versatile but I’m finding that some things […]
Black Bean, Corn, and Turkey Chili [Instant Pot]
This past week my husband and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary! It has become our tradition (as I noted in this post last year) to treat ourselves to a nice dinner at a place we haven’t yet tried. This year we went to a restaurant called Little Donkey in Cambridge, MA which blew us […]
