I serve a side salad most nights of the week and this dressing is the one I always make. It is the perfect simple vinaigrette. I will sometimes just serve it with greens and nothing else. Other times I will add cherry tomatoes, sliced shallots and goat cheese. But I think my favorite way to…

Pancetta Green Beans
Read moreI think it is important to always make an effort to have something green on your dinner plate, even on Thanksgiving! These green beans are SO good and packed with flavor and textures. The crispy green beans pair perfectly with the salty pancetta and nutty almonds. I made them for my Family’s Thanksgiving last year…

Spicy Corn
Read moreWhat is more American than eating corn on the cob at a BBQ?! I grew up lathering my corn in butter and salt. And though I still love doing that, this is a more adult and slightly more gourmet version of corn on the cob. The spicy mayo, cilantro and cheese just elevate the corn…

Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Sweet Potato Souffle (Dairy Free, Gluten Free)

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. Most holiday dishes are quite indulgent (which I am all for) but it is also nice to have some lighter, healthy options as…

Citrus Caprese Salad
Read moreSimple yet perfect, caprese salads are one of my favorite dishes. I make them all the time during summer with ripened tomatoes and burrata. Now that we’re in winter, citrus fruits are at their peak season. So I decided to switch it up and add some oranges to the salad. You can add any kind…

Roasted Asparagus

Asparagus goes well with everything and it is so good for you. This is the easiest way to prepare asparagus and it’s honestly the best! Serves 4…

Sausage and Apple Stuffing
Read moreI’ve had plenty of different kinds of stuffing over the years and found that my favorites always included sausage and apples. That was my inspiration for this recipe. I was going to use sourdough bread but the market was out of it so I decided to go with ciabatta and I’m glad I did. I…
