  • Anchovy Bread Crumb Pasta

    Anchovy Bread Crumb Pasta

    Hold it right there! Before you run away at the word “anchovy”, hear me out! Did you know that anchovies kind of dissolve into oil, imparting in said oil a wonderfully flavorful and unusual salty delightful bite that cannot be easily replicated? And it’s nearly impossible to tell the source of said delightful bite. Or…

  • Sriracha Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce

    Sriracha Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce

    HOLY HELL, it’s the first day of FALL!!!! This may be my favorite day of the year. (Well, my birthday aside, because the 7 year old in me is alive and well.) I looked forward to summer more than ever before this year, and I loved it and soaked it up and enjoyed the sun…

  • Cauliflower Alfredo Pasta Sauce 2.0

    I already posted a fantastic cauliflower alfredo pasta sauce recipe. I love that recipe. It’s amazing and creamy and healthy and I have made it soooo many times. But it’s just not Alfredo. You don’t crave some rich creamy pasta, eat that, and then feel satisfied. You just don’t. You crave a light pasta dish,…

  • Hearty Pasta + Sausage Stew

    Hearty Pasta + Sausage Stew

    Guys, the work week is half over! 😉 Well, mine is. I sure hope yours is too or maybe you even have the whole week off! I am downright exhausted now. I was really psyched to try waking up early and doing my workout before work. I felt pretty tired early last night so I…

  • Recipe Review | Sausage + Butternut Riggies

    the recipe | Rachael Ray’s Sausage + Butternut Riggies. I made the first of my list of Rachael Ray recipes to conquer! This was one of those recipes that had me absolutely drooling while I watched her cook. I could not wait to make it!

  • Easy Vegan Lasagna

    Guys, I think this is my first vegan lasagna! I made an https://florafoodie.com/2013/09/weeknight-enchilada-lasagna.html”>enchilada lasagna (crappy pictures on that post, but I promise the lasagna is delish!), but this is my first “classic” lasagna. I asked Preston for a dinner request and he voted lasagna. Which turned out perfect because I was already planning some vegan…

  • Cauliflower Alfredo Pasta Sauce

    Cauliflower Alfredo Pasta Sauce

    A weekend conversation between me and Preston: P: will you still love me if I go Paleo? I guess that’s kind of as opposite as our diets can get… Me: no, we’d both eat a ton of vegetables. You do realize doing Paleo well means you’ll actually have to eat a lot of vegetables, right?…

  • One Skillet Pasta

    I’ve been wanting to try this for MONTHS! It’s an awesome idea: throw your dry pasta, water, toppings, and sauce ingredients all in one large pot and cook it until the pasta cooks and everything’s all cozy and combined. One pot meal 🙂

  • Roasted Asparagus Pesto Pasta

    I read somewhere (and can’t remember where…) that blending cooked asparagus into pesto is a thing. Like, something yummy that sneaks veggies into a dish that people love. I’m game. Gotta try that one. So I whipped up a very basic pesto recipe while I roasted some asparagus and sweet potatoes and boiled some water.…

  • Ricotta-Stuffed Baked Manicoti

    I made a GREAT Sunday night casserole this week, and it’ll make for several fantastic leftover meals during the week. Two weeks in a row now of Sunday night casseroles, and I’ve got no complaints. I forget how easy stuffed pasta really can be, but it feels so special. This meal came together pretty quickly,…
