  • Artichoke Dip Gnocci & Cauliflower Bake

    Happy Friday!!! Hooooray 🙂 I don’t know about you, but my week draaaaagged. Lucky for me, I had a bright green yummy casserole in my fridge that made me happy 🙂 I used spinach and artichoke dip as the sauce in this casserole. I’m kinda proud of myself 🙂 I’ve been craving my spinach and…

  • Asparagus Pasta Aglio Olio

    Happy Sunday evening, all!Preston and I made an awesome simple dinner tonight, I took inspiration from a simple dish one of my LA visitors had last weekend. She’s a picky eater with some dietary restrictions, so she eats very simple dishes. One of my favorite Sacramento restaurants, Paesano’s, was really understanding of her modifications and…

  • Pasta in Vodka Sauce w/ Sausage & Onions

    I had planned this recipe as a throw-together Sunday night dinner of pasta with store bought marinara and store bought Field Roast sausages (don’t worry, there were veggies too. But they stayed just as boring as I planned them.) But then a moment of food-genius struck and I realized that with a couple extra tweaks…

  • Sun Dried Tomato Israeli Couscous Bowl

    I told y’all that I got to go to Preston’s law school prom a couple weeks ago, but I failed to mention that the venue’s vegetarian option for dinner was a fantastic vegan Israeli couscous dish. It wasn’t much fancy, but it was really satisfying. Couscous tossed with a simple and wonderful marinara sauce mixed…

  • Weeknight Favorite | Farfalle w/ Spinach & Breadcrumbs

    Hey everybody! Welcome back from the long weekend 🙂  I took a nice break and now I’m back with a fantastic quickie recipe. I have a new pasta obsession. It is a super speedy dish with simple, clean, but wonderful flavors and I can’t get enough of it. It comes together in less than 15…

  • Doyle’s (and Leslie’s) Mom’s Hungarian Goulash

    You guys.  Have you ever had goulash?  I realize it’s not a super common food for most people.  For me, it was a childhood staple.  It was my favorite thing my mom made for an incredibly long period of life.  It’s a really simple dish – basically the Hungarian version of a Bolognese sauce.  We ate…

  • Baked Lasagna Toss (aka Almost Lasagna)

    I just HAD to make another recipe with the second half of this ricotta recipe.  I can’t get over how much I love it.  This is the recipe I thought I’d start with rather than my squash pasta, but as I mentioned I went all squash-crazy at the store, so plans changed.  Now it’s time…

  • Squash & Brussels Sprouts Pasta Salad w/ Brown Sugar Balsamic Vinaigrette

    Long title, I know!  But I just couldn’t imagine leaving anything out, every ingredient is a selling point with this dish.  Roasted veggies, pasta, and a sweet-and-tangy vinaigrette = my new winning dish.   Plus candied pecans!  But enough was enough in the title 🙂 Just a quickie post for you today, jumping straight to the…

  • Squash & Roasted Garlic Ricotta Pasta

    As soon as I saw this beautiful recipe for vegan ricotta, I had to give it a try.  It. is. divine.  Seriously don’t need to try any more ricotta recipes, this one is fantastic and simple.   Expect to see a handful of ricotta recipes with this one, because I am super happy to have ricotta…

  • Pasta Primavera

    I am in love with this simple adaptable veggie dish.  My dad made this for me and my sister sometimes when we were growing up – one of very few meals that would actually get me to eat some vegetables.  It had to be loaded with tons of garlicky goodness (weird kid, I know), and…
