Better Than Take-Out Chicken Tenders

Let’s be real, you are never to old to enjoy chicken tenders! They remind us of simpler times with no responsibilities. I love a good tender, especially dunked in the right sauce. These tenders will have you rethinking why you dig out the slightly freezer burned ones. These are way better and don’t take muchContinue reading “Better Than Take-Out Chicken Tenders”

Filet Mignon with Mushroom Sauce

Filet Mignon is my favorite cut of steak. It gets a bad wrap though for not being flavorful enough due to the lack of fat in the cut. While I might agree on some points, the filet is one of the most tender cuts and if prepared correctly can actually be very flavorful! This recipeContinue reading “Filet Mignon with Mushroom Sauce”

Miso Ramen Carbonara-ish

If you have never had fresh carbonara, I urge you to. It is one of my favorite pasta dishes to make from scratch, but it can be very time consuming. That is where this dish comes in – a dressed up, easier, asian fusion “carbonara.” It starts with easy ramen noodles that cook up inContinue reading “Miso Ramen Carbonara-ish”

Grilled Onion Sliders

Any food that is fun sized just tastes better, right? Burgers are delicious, but for some reason sliders just hit better! Maybe it is the fact that you can hold them with one hand? Or eat them in two bites? Or have more than 1 and not feel guilty? Whatever the reason, you can’t goContinue reading “Grilled Onion Sliders”

Garlicky Asparagus

Asparagus is one of my favorite veggies and sides! It is just as delicious on its own and as side dish! As a child, I remember i would only eat the tips of the asparagus because I thought they were the best part. As an adult, I’ve learned to eat the entire stalk because itContinue reading “Garlicky Asparagus”

Roasted Red Pepper Rigatoni

This pasta is rich, creamy, decadent. This is exactly what you want on a chilly night when you don’t feel like taking off those pjs. The roasted red peppers add such a deep flavor with a hint of smokiness. I like using rigatoni for this recipe so the sauce gets all on the grooves andContinue reading “Roasted Red Pepper Rigatoni”

Coconut Apple Crumble

Not only is this recipe warm and comforting, it is also fairly healthy! I love apple pie and apple crumble but it can get heavy and sugary quickly. This is a lighter version that is equally delicious. My husband actually turned me on to this combination but I made a few upgrades! He used toContinue reading “Coconut Apple Crumble”
