It all started with a TikTok, as things now often do. Some leftover white wine or post New Years celebratory champagne, a lemon, some parmesan cheese and you can easily whip up a quick decadent risotto, it said. So a girlfriend and I put it to the test. It surely can't be that simple? Oh, but it is. Absolutely delicious, better than restaurant, lemony risotto. I highly suggest you give it a try.

You may have caught on - I haven't been cooking much lately. My work schedule has been, well, out of control. For the last several months I've been working 6 days a week and have found no time to play with my food. Basically food as been solely for nutrition (gulp down a protein shake on the go) rather than an act from the soul, in which it's both an art and a vehicle for nutrients. Well folks - I'd love to say things have changed and I'm ready to dive back into the kitchen, but I can't commit to such things just yet. Life is wild right now. My business continues to grow and expand (thank you God!), which requires much of my energy and time to make sure it's a well oiled machine. Additionally, Trevor and I are moving into our new house soon and are preparing for our wedding which is in THREE MONTHS! So no, I may not be diving back into the kitchen anytime soon, but I did manage to whip up this surprisingly delicious, absolutely easy meal that spoke to my soul.. Did I mention it only takes 10 minutes? If I can make time for this, so can you!
This split pea soup will blow your socks off. It's rich, smokey, hearty and simply delicious. You can quickly throw it together and freeze any leftovers for future sick days.
You know that clear broth with mushrooms that is served to you at Japanese and hibachi style restaurants? This is that, only better of course. It's delicious and nourishing, perfect for an upset tummy or when you're feeling run down and need some extra nourishment. This is a fantastic soup to consume when you're pre-menstrual or postpartum.
Give me allll the Caesar salads. I love them! I love the tangy tart creamy dressing. I love the crunch of the romaine. This Caesar dressing is even more special because it's made without dairy. Just give it a go, you'll see!
We're obsessed with these in my household! Sometimes I'll just make a big platter and we'll go to town and call that dinner. These are great appetizers but can easily be made as a side dish to chicken or fish. Try em' and you'll see just why we love these so much!
My grandmother always made the world's best bruschetta. Watching the love she put into making such simple dishes from her childhood was such an honor. This food literally drew our family together, bringing her rich French and Italian culture to our dining table. Now I'm able to share this rustic, flavorful, simple hors d'oeuvre with those I love, and you can too!
This apple crisp has stood the test of time. I've been making it for almost eight years now. It's not too sweet but definitely satisfies the cravings. If you want to go wild, you can add a scoop of ice cream over top! Either way you choose, I know you'll love it!
With the arrival and Spring and warmer weather I find myself gravitating more towards salads, and no salad is complete without my go-to salad dressing! Slightly sweet with maple but tart with balsamic, you'll love how this dresses up any salad you make!
These deviled eggs are mildly pickled which gives them a little something extra in flavor but what really wows is that gorgeous pink color from the beets! Filled with a creamy center spiced with curry powder, these are an absolutely show stopper in both looks and flavor. With Mother's Day around the corner these would make a great addition to a Mother's Day Brunch!
