I love homemade pasta! I think you can 1000% taste the difference between store bought and homemade. Plus, I love that I know exactly what is going into the food that I’m about to eat.

Roast Chicken and Potatoes
Read moreI make roast chicken all year round, but I especially love to make it during Fall and Winter. Few things in life are more comforting than roast chicken.

Pasta Primavera
Read moreI have been making this pasta a LOT these last few months. I just love how it incorporates so many veggies and is filling yet still light.

Fall Harvest Salad
Read moreThanksgiving is just around the corner! I LOVE this time of year. Spending time with my family is my absolute favorite thing about the holidays. However, the food is a close second.

Classic Roast Chicken
Read moreFor some reason, I was always intimidated by roast chicken. It looked like it took a ton of time to make and I always worried it would turn out dry. A few years ago, I cooked a turkey for the first time for Friendsgiving (see recipe here). It was SO much easier than I thought…
