Tequila Lime Salmon with Crema

I love fresh salmon, especially in the summer because it is such a light and refreshing meal. I am not a huge fan of fish because of textures and flavors, but salmon is one of the good ones – not too fishy and pretty mild, but still enough flavor to taste something and it usuallyContinue reading “Tequila Lime Salmon with Crema”

Not Authentic Dan Dan Noodles

Okay, before anyone comes at me for this recipe, I want to make it very clear that these are not authentic Dan Dan noodles by any stretch of the imagination. But I don’t have a better name for the dish and I was inspired by traditional dan dan noodle flavors, so here we are. IContinue reading “Not Authentic Dan Dan Noodles”

Steak, Roasted Potatoes and Chive Dip

It is grilling season and I am here for it! I have no problem admitting I am a bougie bitch when it comes to steak and I prefer a filet over any other cut. Everyone always comes for filets, stating they are not as flavorful as fattier cuts – agree to disagree. If you seasonContinue reading “Steak, Roasted Potatoes and Chive Dip”

Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan is such a comfort food. It is so warm and feeling and honestly makes me want to take a nap after I eat it. This is definitely a heavier dish and meal, but sometimes you just need all the carbs! I love italian food – mostly pasta because you know carbs lol. IContinue reading “Chicken Parmesan”

Fajitas

Fajitas are such a great meal to share and come together fairly easy. Don’t let the list of ingredients or steps intimidate you, I promise it is way less complicated than it appears. Also, in my recipe I am doing both steak and chicken but you could just opt for one! You can also cookContinue reading “Fajitas”

Honey Garlic Chicken

I made this recipe a while ago and actually completely forgot to share it! You can also tell it is a bit older because my phone camera was really starting to decline at this point, so the photos are not my best work. But this dish sure is! It is literally so quick and easyContinue reading “Honey Garlic Chicken”

Tortilla Pizza

Pizza doesn’t have to be full of guilt. Whether you want a real pizza or this slightly lower carb, higher protein version, treat yourself to the version that is right for you! I love trying to make healthier swaps to make a meal fit with my nutrition goals. I still eat plenty of pizza andContinue reading “Tortilla Pizza”

Chicken Marsala Pasta

This is a twist on the classic chicken marsala but is way more delicious in my opinion. It took me a few attempts to get this recipe just right – they first I used spaghetti noodles and it just didn’t work well – the noodles almost soaked up all of the creamy, mushroomy sauce. InitiallyContinue reading “Chicken Marsala Pasta”

Lemon Ricotta Rigatoni

Light, creamy, refreshing. This dish is wonderful when you want a pasta that will leave you satisfied but not too heavy. Yes there is a ton of cream and cheese in it, but the lemon and arugula act as a source of acid to brighten the dish up – really complementing each other. You couldContinue reading “Lemon Ricotta Rigatoni”

Easy Ramen Stir Fry

I am all about those easy, homemade lunches during the week. I fortunately have the luxury of working from home and have the ability to make lunch during the day. I realize that most people do not have that, but if you do, this recipe is a great one. It comes together in about 30Continue reading “Easy Ramen Stir Fry”
