Chimichurri: bright, herby, slightly spicy — and a total game-changer for everything from grilled steak to roasted veggies. If you’ve ever had a bite of anything sauced in Argentina or Uruguay, you probably met this vibrant green condiment: an herb-forward sauce that’s equal parts punchy and versatile. Here’s everything you need to know to make a fresh, health-conscious chimichurri that tastes like it belongs at a backyard grill party — without the guilt…
Read MoreChicken & Herb Gravy
Keeping it simple today with this Chicken & Herb Gravy! It’s an easy chicken dish that cooks up in one pan and is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The recipe is easily to double for a larger family, but I stuck with two servings. This dish starts out with searing the chicken and then using the drippings and good bits at the bottom of the skillet as the base for your gravy.
Homemade gravy is always the way to go and this one is super simple. Roux, broth, herbs, and you’re done! The chicken is then finished off cooking in the homemade gravy and is great served with potatoes or even over some rice…
Read MoreCheesy Garlic & Herb Pull-Apart Bread (Bread Machine)
I’ve been using my bread machine at least a couple of times a week currently, largely due to the current limitations on certain things you can buy right now. Thankfully I’ve had a pretty steady stream of flour and with my handy-dandy bread machine, well… the sky is the limit!
I decided to get crafty this time around and instead of making a plain jane loaf, I made a pull-apart loaf that didn’t stop there. This pull-apart bread also has layers of cheese, garlic, and herbs tucked in between each pull-and-peel piece of warm fresh homemade bread…
Read MoreSavory Holiday Monkey Bread
I love monkey bread. I love that it’s a quick, easy, and delicious way to pack a lot more flavor into any traditional biscuit dough. Usually monkey bread is sweet and is made as more of a breakfast or even as a dessert. Such as my cherry pie version, or my pumpkin spice one! But, not much can beat the strawberries and cream monkey bread.
Today though, I was craving tomato soup and some crunchy bread. It’s chilly out and that traditional meal sounded very comforting. But then! I thought better of myself. Why make a boring plain old grilled cheese when I could make something drinkable, dipable, and fun instead?!…
Read MoreCrockpot Carrot Soup with Basil Herb Oil
I'm barely a week into summer break over here and I already seem to have lost track of what day it is. Is it still the weekend? Almost the weekend again? Where am I? What am I doing? One of the only things that's managing to keep me somewhat grounded, is cooking. For the past few weeks, I've been getting loads and loads of carrots in my local box of produce. I've been trying to use them up as quickly as I could, but... the bag of them only continued to expand.
I've got to be honest, raw carrots are definitely not one of my favorite vegetables. So, thinking of a way to use up over 2 pounds of carrots was a rather daunting task for me. Especially considering that I wanted to be sure to use them all up before any went bad. Waste not, want not...

It's here! It's here! It's finally here! The movie 'Inside Out' is out to buy, and just in time for movie night too. To celebrate the release I decided to re-create the infamous broccoli pizza from one of my favorites scenes in the movie.
"Congratulations, San Francisco! You've ruined pizza!" - Anger
I'd have to respectfully disagree with you, Anger.
"Who puts broccoli on pizza?" - Joy
I do! And I love it too. I mean... what goes better with broccoli than cheese? And what goes better on pizza than cheese? Besides, I will put vegetables in any sneaky place that I can to get my little one to eat more of them!...
