Vodka sauce is one of those yummy classics that's great to have in your back pocket. It's easy, it's absolutely DE-LI-CIOUS, and it's a perfect dish to serve in multiple different situations: easy enough for a weeknight dinner but fun enough for a dinner party with a yummy, fresh side salad. If you've never had vodka sauce before, it's basically a creamy tomato sauce that has some complexity ...
Spinach and Ricotta Lasagna Roll-Ups
One of my best friends is a vegetarian, and since moving to Charlotte, I see her WAY more often (one of the best parts about living here!). She is here for dinner a decent amount, and it's been really fun coming up with vegetarian stuff to cook when she comes over. This lasagna is seriously the ultimate vegetarian meal - it is loaded with flavor and comfort, and you'll never miss the meat! I ...

If you want to be even more of a rock star, you'll pop a side salad into this ...
20 Minute One Pot Pumpkin Parmesan Pasta
Did you all have the best Thanksgiving ever?? I hope it was one for the books, and I hope you are still polishing off the rest of those delicious leftovers. I know after the marathon cooking event that is Thanksgiving, a lot of people (myself included) like to take a little break from intensive cooking for a little while and grab some takeout, eat lots of leftovers, or just stick with easy peasy ...
Baked 3 Cheese Mac and Cheese
I'm a firm - FIRM - believer in mac and cheese being a mandatory element of a successful and delicious Thanksgiving spread. I've found two parties here: people that are with me and see it as a necessary accompaniment just like stuffing or mashed potatoes, and then the people who never include it with their other sides. If you are in that second group...why? Who hurt you? Jk. BUT let's talk ...
Creamy Chicken Gnocchi with Pancetta and Peas
This is seriously comfort food at its finest! We've got soft, pillowy gnocchi; ultra thick, creamy, comforting sauce; the tender chicken; peas that give a perfect pop of fresh sweetness; and salty pancetta for the most delicious, savory crunch. It's thick, it's rich without being overwhelming, and it will fill your soul with comfort as you devour the entire bowl as quickly as humanly possible. ...
Absolute Easiest No-Fuss Lasagna
One of my favorite things in the world to do is make my totally from scratch lasagna. I mean like SUPER from scratch: homemade pasta, homemade sauce - we even home make the ricotta (actually super easy). I make it when there's a really special occasion or when I'm feeling like spending an afternoon in the kitchen cooking something super labor intensive, because that can be calming and therapeutic ...
Beef Stroganoff
Can I just start by saying that this is like THE definition of comfort food? Noodles smothered in a creamy, flavorful sauce loaded up with tender ground beef, mushrooms, onion, and garlic. It's just GOOD - that's the best way to describe it. Just straight up good food. Beef stroganoff is one of those cafeteria slash frozen food classics that you always seem to see. I'm talking the overcooked ...
Fresh Tomato Pasta
WHEW - alright people, we are settled back at home in Kansas after a 3 + week long trip to North Carolina. Seth had a 3 week training in Georgia, and we have tons of family and friends in North Carolina just a few states away (almost said one state and then checked myself and looked at a US map...Lord please never let me teach geography), so Ford and I decided to tag along and hang out in North ...
Instant Pot Beef Ragu
Oh my gaasshhhhh, Instant Pot, you are just TOO DANG good to be true. A tough cut of meat that would normally take hours to become tender and juicy in the oven takes literally thirty minutes in the Instant Pot, it becomes fall apart tender, and it cooks into the sauce, leaving you with the most thick, unctuous, richly flavored ragu that you've ever encountered in YO LIFE. I'm telling you guys, ...
