Baked Eggplant Parmesan Lasagna
So you might laugh at me, but even Florida has chilly evenings and requires some warm, comfort food. While there has been by no means snow this winter, we have dipped into the 40’s – cold, right?! As such, I’ve been on the mission to create some heartier dinners. One can only eat so many…
Homemade Bolognese Sauce
I love bolognese. Shockingly though, as much as I order it out, I had never made it at home. I’ve made marinara, red sauce with meat, but never bolognese. So during this time of quarantine in the house, I decided I would dedicate a day to making this iconic Italian sauce. Dating back to the…
Warm Harvest Salad Bowl
For those who have had the pleasure of living near a Sweetgreen, you are most likely familiar with the Harvest Salad. A staple on the ever-changing seasonal menu, the Harvest Salad warm bowl is delicious comfort food. We had one below our Boston apartment, and let’s just say we were frequent visitors. Oh how I…
Turkey Taco Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
We always keep ground turkey in our freezer. It’s a great, lean meat that defrosts quickly and is mild enough in flavor that you can make a wide variety of meals with it. One of my go-to dishes is ground turkey tacos but instead of a tortilla, I serve them in fluffy, baked sweet potatoes….
Chicken Pot Pie Skillet Pizza
Sometimes we just need comfort food (Especially during this deep-freeze!) But even comfort food can use some jazzing-up at times. This dish is an old-time classic, chicken pot pie, served in a fun & casual way. Think of it as a deep-dish pizza that is so loaded, you will definitely need to use both hands……
Carrot Ginger Soup
Is there anything more comforting than a hot bowl of soup? This Carrot Ginger Soup is not only packed with delicious flavor, it’s good for you. So as we’re transitioning from winter into spring (hopefully), this soup is great to serve for both lunch and dinner. This dish can also be made FODMAP friendly by…
Banana Walnut Bread Breakfast Quinoa
As much as I would love to have homemade baked goods every morning for breakfast, it is not going to happen. But this flavor-packed, hearty breakfast will fix my cravings! The nutty flavor of the quinoa is enhanced as it soaks up the sweetness of the maple syrup & cinnamon. And it’s hard to argue…

Wisconsin Wedding Soup
With my wedding fast approaching, I thought it only fitting to have something delicious and comforting already made in the refrigerator after a day of busy wedding planning. What’s better than Italian Wedding soup?! Not much, unless you give it twist to fit you’re wedding, of course! Since I’m marrying a Wisconsinite, I decided to…
BBQ Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potato with Goat Cheese
Best compact meal ever. I created this dish by accident. What started as bbq chicken, a plain baked sweet potato, and a side salad, quickly turned into an over-stuffed, mouthwatering flavor explosion. The contrast of the sweetness in the potato, the spice of the bbq, the bite of the vinegar dressing and the creaminess of…
One Dish Mexican Quinoa Delish
This recipe is dedicated to the recently married couple, Shannon & David. Shannon is one of my dearest friends. We met when we were four years old in Junior Kindergarten… and have remained best of friends since. Last weekend, she married her best friend and I could not be happier for them! At the wedding…
