Thisssssssss is the HEIGHT of a satisfying, easy weeknight dinner, friends.

It's dinner dreams, feel me? It's the combination of flavors and textures that will make your taste buds sing Christmas carols all year ...
Crispy Oven Baked Salt and Vinegar Chicken Wings
Y'all. These chicken wings are CRISPY. Like...SUPER crispy. Crispy as in fried-level crispy. I am in love. And it all goes down in the oven! No deep frying in oil. A hot oven and a long cook time takes care of that crispy skin for you. These are designed to be a nod to salt and vinegar chips, but they don't have quite the super jaw cramping vinegar flavor that the chips do - this is more ...
Chimichurri Chicken
Say hello to your brand new weeknight favorite, friends and family! This chicken is a super sneaky weeknight meal because it's one that doesn't taste like it took half an hour to make! Not. At. All. The chicken is juicy and moist (not to mention super flavorful from the blackening seasoning), and the chimichurri is crazy flavorful and impossibly fresh. They are a match made in ...
Roasted Leek Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette
I love a good fall salad. Salads are typically seen as a "fresh summer" type situation, but fall salads are my fave! They seem to have heartier ingredients, and it's not uncommon that they have a roasted veggie or two thrown in there. In this case, our roasted veggie is the humble leek. It's a type of onion, but the flavor is mild and extra savory in my opinion! They get caramelized, soft, ...
Caramelized Butternut Squash with Pecans
This. Butternut. Squash. Is. NEXT LEVEL, you guys. Butternut squash is usually the star in soups, you don't see it quite as often served on its own as a side. But, man oh man oh man, this caramelized butternut squash is to die for! The sweetness of the veggie itself is deepened by the caramelization, but then we've got pecans, lots of garlic, sage, and thyme thrown in for the last few minutes - ...
Chopped Cauliflower Salad
There's something so fun and satisfying about a salad without any greens! They are super extra hearty, and it's like a bowl full of JUST the toppings (which are the best part anyway, right?!). This salad is definitely hearty, but it's also full of flavors and textures that balance each other out: Roasted, tender cauliflowerCrunchy fresh celery and fennelNutty almondsA bright lemon ...
Thai Stir Fry with Curry “Peanut” Sauce
THAI FOOD. Sorry for screaming - I get overly excited about Thai food. It's my fave. That and sushi. I can't pick between them - DON'T MAKE ME. I actually have to make a concerted effort not to post constant Thai recipes on here and be repetitive. I already have another Thai recipe coming next week, so I couuuuld be doing a better job at this. Oh well...YOLO. This dish is a total mix ...
Sheet Pan Tomato Soup (whole 30, paleo, keto)
Sheet pan dinners are a thing these days. They're trendy. And for SUPER GOOD REASON - have you tried one?? They are the height of ease and simplicity. They take one pot dinners to the next level because everyone and their mom knows that when you roast something, the flavor automatically gets pumped up to level ten thirteen. But have you ever had a sheet pan soup?? Meaning you roast everything ...
Crock Pot Korean Beef Bowls
So I made these bowls for the blog like 3 weeks ago(ish), and I have no joke been craving them almost every day since. That's not even an exaggeration. I am ACTUALLY OBSESSED. This beef is so easy to make, it simmers away in your crock pot all day, and then when it's time for dinner, you have delicious, melt-in-your-mouth tender meat that has THE most delicious Korean flavor. I'm telling you ...
Coconut Squash Soup (Keto, Whole 30)
Would you believe me if I told you that there are only five ingredients in this soup, that it takes approximately 1 shred of effort to make, and that the bulk of it is squash?! You might believe it by just looking at it, but you definitely wouldn't believe it after tasting it! This is the perfect soup to make for guests because it'll seem and taste very fancy and luxurious, and no one has to ...
