Believe it or not, I never ate at an Olive Garden until I was well into adulthood. I was in my early 20s and living in Spokane, WA with Aaron, and there is (or, was, rather) a major lack of non-chain restaurants in Spokane. We couldn’t find a mom and pop pizza shop to save

Balsamic Potatoes
I’m sure this sounds kind of strange to you, right? Balsamic potatoes? But I assure you – they are so good. I haven’t made these in years, and when I thought about them recently and how I should make them for the blog, my mouth immediately started watering. But! I warn, they are not healthy.
Better Burrito Bowls
You guysssssss. If you’ve noticed, I’m SO sorry for my absence. If you haven’t noticed, it’s cool. So I am finding out very quickly that getting a house ready to put on the market is no freakin’ joke. Since early January, I have spent part or all of every single weekend packing stuff I don’t
Totchos
Hey y’all! Today is National Tater Tot Day. Or something to that effect. Did you know that? I mean I did because I’m a food blogger and of course I know all the food holidays so that I can celebrate them appropriately. Or, as my husband says, so I have an excuse to eat bad
Parmesan Smashed Potatoes
I may lose my foodie card today, because I have to tell you that there is one food I have yet to master on a consistent basis – and that is mashed potatoes. Most of the time when I make mashed potatoes, they are just ok. They aren’t terrible, but they don’t knock your socks

Pico de Gallo
Pico de gallo is like… the perfect condiment for Mexican food. I use it on almost everything I make that’s Mexican. Tacos, taco salads, nachos, quesadillas, even as a dip on its own. Obviously you want to make sure you have the freshest, ripest ingredients as this is a raw dish with simple flavors. Two
Chicken Piccata and Roasted Potatoes
Earlier this week I gave you a romantic steak dinner menu to serve to your special someone on Valentine’s Day. But maybe you don’t like steak. Or red wine. Or broccoli (I don’t blame you, I eat it very begrudgingly). This would be my next pick to serve to someone on Valentine’s Day. Chicken piccata
Steak au Poivre and Roasted Potatoes
A long, long time ago, in a West Philly apartment far, far away, there lived a girl who did not know how to cook. And, wanting a marriage proposal so terribly, having been with her boyfriend for several years, she started to wonder if he saw her as non-marriage material due to her lack of
