So, Why Am I Obsessed with This Easy French Onion Pasta?

Pasta to the rescue. That first…
So, What’s the Deal with My Christmas Stuffed Pork Tenderloin? Hey there! Okay, I have to tell you: this recipe is basically the centerpiece my family expects each Christmas, even if all I want to do is put my feet up and eat cookies. But I’ll admit, the first time I made it, I was…

This Recipe’s Got Some Stories—Let Me Tell You! So, I first made this Chimichurri Shrimp with Rice and Tzatziki on a night when I’d absolutely had enough of plain chicken and my fridge looked like a game of Tetris gone wrong (you know, random half-used herbs, questionable yogurt, two lonely lemons).

For years I’d dodge them at family dinners—until I learned the magic trick: roasting. Add bacon & honey? Frankly,…
Let Me Tell You About This Beef Stew (And That One Time…) Alright, so you know how some dishes just end up being your signature, even when you never planned it?

Let Me Tell You About Baked Salmon Night! Okay, so, picture this: It’s Thursday, everyone’s a bit tired, and you really want dinner to just magically appear, but also kinda healthy (ish). That’s where Baked Salmon with Potatoes and Asparagus has saved my bacon—er, salmon—more times than I can count. I started making this after…
Let Me Tell You About My (Probably Overly) Juicy Meatballs So, picture this: It’s Wednesday night, the kids are fighting (again), and I’m standing in the kitchen staring down a pack of ground beef like it owes me rent.
