Chorizo & Shrimp Saffron Rice
I am a huge fan of chorizo. It makes me super nostalgic and reminds me of being in Spain drinking sangria and eating tapas. This recipe uses those memories as inspiration, almost as a riff on paella without being paella. It uses the same type of rice and flavor profiles just with less seafood, but […]

Steak Kabobs with Greek Orzo Salad and Tzatziki
There’s just something about Mediterranean food that reminds me of summer. It could be the bright lemon flavor or crisp, fresh vegetables often found in the dishes that have me dreaming of warmer days. It’s a culture of food that makes you feel happy and light. This dinner is one I created with those exact […]

Crab Orecchiette
Crab is one of those proteins that is delicate yet full of sweet and salty flavor. It is so luscious and can instantly make any dish feel special with its addition. The crab in this dish pairs so nicely with the lemon, butter, and peas. It all comes together to create the perfect combination of […]

I made this recipe for my sister and her fiancé and it was a hit! This dish is really easy to prepare, full of flavor and a great recipe to keep in your repertoire especially with summer fast approaching. I recommend serving this chimichurri flank steak with my lemon Dijon potato salad as a side […]

Shrimp Summer Rolls with Spicy Almond Dipping Sauce
Summer rolls have become an obsession of mine in recent years. They are so versatile and can be made with any combination of proteins and veggies. Rice paper provides the perfect portable wrap for summer rolls. This is a dish I would often bring for lunch at work and I remember sitting at my desk […]

Pesto Pasta with Sun-dried Tomatoes
Pasta may easily be my favorite types of recipes to make. It’s so easy and versatile, it can be taken in any possible direction imaginable. The flexibility of pasta dishes is what draws me to it, well that and the fact is insanely delicious. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone that didn’t enjoy a […]

Honey Chipotle Chicken with Mango Salsa
When I make this dish, I feel like I am mentally preparing myself for spring. For some reason I equate grilled meats and fruits to spring and summer time. There’s no place I’d rather be than sipping a cocktail standing over a hot grill with snow just being a distant memory. Sadly, it is still […]

Truffle Mushroom Risotto
I don’t think there is anything more comforting than a big bowl of creamy, comforting risotto. It’s one of those dishes that has endless possibilities; you can make it light and fresh or hearty and rich. It can be a side dish or a main star. Risotto is famous for its adaptability which may be […]

Shrimp Tacos With Avocado Salsa and Cilantro Lime Crema
Tacos often get a reputation for being heavy and indulgent. These shrimp tacos are just as indulgent but they feel so much lighter than an average taco with fresh, crisp, bright flavors. The creamy avocado with the acidic, herbaceous crema provide the perfect contrast to the spicy, warm shrimp. This is the perfect spring or […]

Tuna Poke
There is nothing I love more than ahi tuna. I feel like I can confidently say it is my favorite protein source. While I’m professing my love of rich, fatty tuna I can also declare poke as my preferred way of preparing it. Poke is marinaded, diced raw fish native to Hawaii but has found […]
