I love, love, LOVE being inspired to try new dishes at home after experiencing them out in the wild at a restaurant. We recently went to one of my favorites – Parachute in Chicago – and ordered the pork tonkatsu (traditionally a Japanese dish), which just blew me […]
Happy Monday y’all! How has everyone’s summer been going? Mine has been busy, busy, busy. We’ve been doing a lot of work in the backyard, have been giving the new kitty lots of love, and have had so many fun friend + neighbor hangs. AND we saw The […]
Well friends, tonight in Chicago we’re all hunkered down awaiting a big snow storm. I’m actually pretty stoked. I love being snowed in and all cozy – especially because I’ve already stocked the fridge and pantry with some fun stuff to cook all weekend. So to all my […]
Alright y’all, it’s that time of year where I want to eat all the soups and I want them all to be orange-ish. I came across this interesting sounding recipe in Bon Appetit and thought I’d give it a go. I’m obsessed with all things coconut lately (see […]

This is one of those easy go to recipes that I love to make when the temperature first starts to drop. There’s really little to no work (other than the onion chopping) and tossing everything into a big pot to let time do the work. The soup is […]
After some lovely scores at the farmers market I was on the hunt for a quick and easy weeknight dinner – I found exactly what I was looking for from Real Simple. I must admit I was surprised a pasta dish not lathered in some sort of chunky […]
Almost every time I share this quiche everyone asks for the recipe (and unless I double the recipe my husband gets grumpy) – both signs of a crowd pleaser. It’s quick and easy and has bacon in it – what more could you want? Ingredients: *I usually double […]
This is not your serve on a doily, la-ti-da, fancy pants quiche. This quiche is for hungry people. I probably make it at least 6 times a year – it’s super easy to make, great for week lunch left-overs and the hubster raves over it. My mom gave […]
