Chicken Wellington with a Mushroom Cream Sauce
While digging through the bottom of my freezer, I found a package of unused puff pastry dough. I wasn’t exactly sure how long the dough had been in there, but we’ll just pretend that it had only been a few weeks. I pulled the dough out to thaw in the refrigerator while I sat down to create […]
Wingless Buffalo Risotto With A Blue Cheese Sauce
Okay, this recipe was a total accident. After making a huge batch of mushroom risotto over the weekend, we ended up with a ton of leftovers. We’ve pretty much been eating risotto with every meal since then. For lunch one day, my husband grabbed a bowl of leftover risotto and poured buffalo sauce all over it. It looked surprisingly […]
Slow Cooker Bbq Chipotle Chicken Burritos
The spicy shredded chipotle chicken in these burritos has become a staple in our house. We often make a huge batch in the beginning of the week and use it in all sorts of dishes. It’s great in tacos, over rice, or even with eggs for breakfast. However, these burritos are probably my favorite way to use […]
Skinny Crispy Oven-Fried Cod
I love the crunchy exterior of fried fish, but try to stay away from deep-fried foods as much as possible. However, oven-baked fish filets are often not as crispy and can easily be overcooked. This recipe is different. These cod filets are juicy and tender, with a beautiful golden-brown crust. I’ve also added a little […]
Creamy Chicken Tikka Masala
During our summer road trip, Elliott and I had the opportunity to eat at some really great restaurants. Our favorites included a brewhouse in Colorado, a tapas restaurant in New Mexico, and a pizza parlor in Wyoming. However, our all-time favorite restaurant was a small Indian place just outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. Their Lamb Tikka […]

There are some recipes that instantly become family favorites. You take one bite and you’re already looking forward to the next time you make the dish. It’s also a recipe guaranteed never to have leftovers. For me, this is one of those recipes. This Skinny Take-Out Orange Chicken is sticky, sweet, and spicy (although, the […]
Striped Crab Ravioli with a Sage Butter Sauce
I finally did it. I broke down and bought the pasta attachments for my kitchen aid stand mixer. It’s been something I’ve been back and forth on for some time, but I could never bring myself to actually click “submit order.” We don’t eat much pasta and when we do get a craving for spaghetti, I usually […]
Super-Crispy Korean Chicken
There is nothing worse than biting into a piece of soggy fried chicken. This is often the case after fried chicken has been tossed in a sauce, but this recipe solves that problem with a secret ingredient: Vodka. I’m not even kidding. Adding vodka to the chicken marinade and coating will give you an extra-crunchy […]

We’re hitting the road! This is the start of my Road Trip Food series inspired by my road trip through the western United States. The summer is a great time to pack up and take a trip to somewhere new. These next few recipes are great for saving money on camping or road trips. Convenience […]
Barbecue Peach Meatballs
After visiting Carlsbad Caverns, we headed north through Taos to Durango, Colorado. When I was a child, we took the historic steam-powered train from Durango to Silverton through the beautiful San Juan mountains. We sat in one of the open train cars, so we could enjoy the incredible weather and views. We didn’t even bother to bring […]
