Another fish recipe, because apparently I’m on a roll! This Pan Seared Salmon with Broccoli Slaw is one of those recipes that require very little forethought because you can just get store-bought slaw and then all you have to do is whisk the dressing together and […]

One Pot Coconut Pesto Rice and Fish
I should probably work on the title of this recipe because One Pot Coconut Pesto Rice and Fish is certainly a mouthful. But maybe it’s a good thing, you get everything you need to know about it just by reading the title. It’s a one […]
Hearts of Palm Corn and Chicken Stew
This Hearts of Palm, Corn and Chicken Stew is a very simple one-pot meal that’s surprisingly delightful. What it lacks in color, it makes up in taste. It includes only a handful of ingredients, but a very interesting mix you don’t often see together. Hearts of […]
Chicken Thighs with Pesto and Zucchini
Chicken thighs are my go-to for weeknight dinners. It’s an easy protein that offers a lot of flavors on a budget. They also pair well with so many sides – rice, salads, potatoes, quite literally anything. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are specially great here because […]
Roasted Bell Pepper Salad
This roasted bell pepper salad is one of my favorites! It’s so easy and you only need a handful of ingredients. It’s a great summer salad, and even though you have to turn on the oven for this one, it’s just for a quick broiling […]
One Pot Creamy Orzo with Shrimp
This One Pot Creamy Orzo with Shrimp is a very straight forward recipe, so let’s just get straight to the point. The best way to make orzo is to think of it as a risotto. Now, let’s dive in;) Think of the techniques used in […]
Antipasto Pasta Salad
Antipasto Pasta Salad. But make it vegetarian. It’s been getting too hot to even consider baking or doing basic things like planning dinner. Lately all I do is feel sleepy – not my fault, heat makes us tired. And that has really affected my productivity. […]
Easy Tuna Salad
This Easy Tuna Salad is my go-to recipe for a quick, filling lunch of snack. An original Hailee recipe – I love her content – I saw it on tiktok a while ago and knew I had to try it. There’s no mayo, but it’s […]
Celery, Fennel and Apple Salad
I first made this Celery, Fennel and Apple Salad back in the summer, and it’s such a simple, palate-cleansing dish that it was quickly added to my summer meal rotation. I figured it’s also perfect for post-holiday dinners: it’s citrusy, cold, and refreshing. This salad […]
Harissa Charred Tomatoes with Yogurt
I made this dish a lot in the summer, sans harissa. Inspired by an Ottolenghi recipe, it’s always a hit. It’s quick and requires very little prep and just a handful of ingredients. I’ve already talked about my love for hosting dinner parties and this […]
Peach Pork Chops

Macedonian Kebapi
My Romanian friend recently introduced me to the wonderful world of Eastern European food. I know it’s a vast region, and it encompasses many different cultures, ethnicities, languages, and histories, but it’s still a cuisine I am quite unfamiliar with. There is such a crossover of regional influences, […]
Pan-Fried Eggplant with Miso Tahini Dressing
