These Chipotle Chorizo Tacos are smoky, spicy and complex! The homemade sweet potato tortilla tempers the spice with a little bit of sweetness and a mezcal lime slaw brightens the flavors and pulls the whole taco together! Oh, hey! Remember me? Anyone who is a chef or a food blogger knows that each takes a…
Savory Butternut Squash Carrot Tart
In this savory Butternut Squash Carrot Tart, carrots and butternut squash are roasted with Harissa and Hungarian paprika then covered in caramelized onions, and baked to custardy perfection in a whole-wheat tart shell. All topped with sage browned butter. A savory tart? After all the sinfully sweet fruit and nut pies that have been appearing from my kitchen…
Brown Sugar Pecan Stuffed Pears

Ice cream. It’s become my mission. Now that culinary school is over (tear), there is a huge void in my life where all…

Giant pasta shells are stuffed with a ground beef and cheese mixture, topped with an easy, fresh pasta sauce and mozzarella cheese and then baked to melty, cheesy perfection! If you’ve been following me on Instagram for, oh about 4 months (thank you!),…
Baked Mushroom Pork Chops
These Baked Mushroom Pork Chops are seasoned, breaded, and seared before being baked to perfection under a succulent wine and mushroom thyme sauce. There are those dishes that are beautiful and tasteless {I don’t make those.} and then, quite on the opposite end of the spectrum, there are those dishes that are truly unattractive yet…
Crème Brûlée – Perfect Portion For Two!
Ahh Crème Brûlée. Crunchy, caramelized sugar top with a creamy vanilla center. Where have you been all my life? I’ll tell you where. Relegated to second-class desserts by my chocoholic tendencies. Crème Brûlée never stood a chance in a restaurant. But now… But now I can’t get enough! And I was genuinely shocked by how…
