Good morning! This week has been super fun because I didn't have a true layout of meals like I normally do. Monday I made these Korean BBQ bowls. Browned some ground turkey and stirred in some chili crunch and Korean BBQ sauce. Served with white rice, leftover corn, some red cabbage and sliced radish tossed… Continue reading Cozy week night meals →

Hiya friends, I made some incredible blackened salmon sandwiches last night and I wanted to share them with y'all. A super simple weeknight meal that Josh and I loved and will be making again!

Good afternoon to my three followers! I am really missing eating out this week so I ordered out Thai on Sunday night from Silver Spoon and it was SO good.

Happy Sunday friends! Friday night I made this incredible seafood bake/boil and it was seriously one of my favorite meals I have made all of quarantine. It was a little messy and super tasty.

Every day I apply for jobs, clean my perfectly clean apartment, sometimes workout, annoy Fifi (and Josh) and I am running out of productive things to do! I feel like this is a major problem most people are having… Continue reading Chipotle chicken stuffed sweet potatoes →

Happy beautiful day in Chicago! I have been cooking more and more steak since we can't go out to eat (insert crying face.) I always go the filet mignon route but I love flank steak as well! I think most people get intimidated by cooking steak at home because it's tricky to get the right… Continue reading How to cook the perfect steak →

SHEESH, This has been one of my favorite quarantine meals thus far. It's super simple, minimal ingredients and almost foolproof. Everyone should race to the grocery store ASAP just to have Jalapeño cream cheese in their fridge. I have put it on my homemade pizza, avocado toast and now this.   Ingredients: 1 Large chicken… Continue reading Spinach + jalapeño cream cheese stuffed chicken →

HI, I AM BACK!! Here are a few updates since I last wrote: lost my job in the fall... but that was also my first date with my boyfriend, Josh. He is the most wonderful human. JP always encourages me and hypes me up when I'm in the kitchen. He always puts a smile on while… Continue reading Korean BBQ Flank Steak →

Hi friends, this was a recipe that I created in the fall and like a million other things, it's been sitting in my drafts. Got us some homemade ravioli, WEE. Roasted butternut squash, gorgonzola and honey goat cheese was my filling. I would totally make this again but to make it a little easier on… Continue reading Butternut Squash Ravioli →
