Pesto Ricotta Pappardelle
This pesto ricotta pappardelle was one of the best dinners I have made in a long time, so I had to put it on the site as soon as possible as to remember what I did. I took a class with Meryl from Pasta Social …
Main Dishes
Carnitas Inspired Pork Roast
We used to (pre-COVID) spend most of our New Year’s Eve holidays at a rented cabin with a whole lot of friends. Generally a few people would sign up to cook for everyone each night. The year we rang in 2018, my friend Sara made …
Butternut Squash Brown Butter Sage Lasagna
What says fall more than roasted butternut squash, brown butter sage sauce, and cheesy noodles? This butternut squash brown butter sage lasagna is perfection. I call this lasagna because it uses lasagna noodles, but honestly this is more of a casserole. It is a little …
New Orleans Red Beans and Rice

Pasta Puttanesca (Low-FODMAP)
Anchovies, capers, and olives were three of my least favorite foods growing up. Therefore, pasta puttanesca was off the table. But now I LOVE them, so this dish is one of our favorites! It’s pretty easy to put together and you end up with delicious …
Chicken Pot Pie
I grew up absolutely hating chicken pot pie. Peas and cooked carrots in a hot sloopy mess? No thank you, said me until 2019. Now I literally can’t get enough and I wish I could eat it every day! Here’s my onion & garlic -less …
