This Baked Spinach Falafel Pita is so good and makes for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner. I didn’t know this until recently but falafel is actually really easy to make at home. Besides soaking the chickpeas overnight (a critical step that can’t be skipped), it takes a total of 30 minutes! And not…

Brussels Sprouts Bravas
If you’re familiar with Spanish tapas, chances are you’ve had a delicious plate of Patatas Bravas. Patatas Bravas is a plate of fried potatoes typically served with a smoky red sauce and garlic aioli. These are dangerously addicting. Last time my boyfriend and I went out for tapas, we had to order two plates that’s…
Lemon Oregano Mini Hasselback Potatoes
These Lemon Oregano Mini Hasselback Potatoes are a yummy, crispier take on traditional Greek potatoes. I am the biggest fan of traditional Greek potatoes, but with the added crispiness of these mini hasselback potatoes, I’d argue that these are even tastier. Using baby potatoes makes this a perfect bite-size snack, appetizer, or side dish. Serving…
Oven-Fried Nashville Hot Chicken
We all know how good fried chicken is, but unfortunately we also know it’s not the best thing for you. Fried chicken is generally breaded in white refined flour and deep fried in oil. The first time I had Nashville Hot Chicken, it was so good I knew I had to figure out a way…
Apricot Chicken Soba Noodle Salad
Despite it being 50 degrees and pouring rain last weekend, it is 90 degrees and sunny this weekend which means I’m only in the mood to eat one thing: salads. Salads generally get a bad reputation because people think they’re boring or not filling enough. But this Apricot Chicken Soba Noodle salad is certainly not…
Chipotle Shrimp and Cheddar Grits
When I went to Nashville two years ago with my boyfriend, I fell in love with shrimp and grits. Although we a have a few Southern restaurants in Boston, I never really indulged in shrimp and grits until our trip down south. I’ve clearly been missing out because wow-shrimp and grits are so good!
Maple Pecan Baked Apples
Thanksgiving is this week and I’ll admit, I’m not really into Thanksgiving pie. The only pie I like is pecan pie and sparingly at that. As far as Thanksgiving dessert goes, I’d much rather have something like these Maple Pecan Baked Apples.
Roasted Butternut Squash, Apple & Sausage White Pizza
I’ve always had a thing for an autumn-flavored pizza. My first time having such a pizza was on a ski vacation in New Hampshire. We went out for dinner one night and I remember having a really good butternut squash and maple syrup pizza. Ever since then, I’ve loved mixing some sweet and savory autumn…
Thai Chicken Satay Grain Bowl
It was sometime in middle school, while watching the O.C., that I became obsessed with Thai food. On the show, the Cohen family always ordered Pad Thai for takeout. That summer in between middle school and high school, I made my mom and dad order so much Thai takeout and consumed a ton of Pad…
Blueberry Chickpea Muffins
Hope everyone is holding up alright during these crazy times. To pass the time, I know many people have resorted to baking all types of treats, especially bread. I’m not usually much of a baker. I just don’t have the patience for it and I can’t keep baked goods around in the house for long-…
