I honestly don’t know what to say about this slow roasted halibut with chermoula except that you have to try it. This is getting a spot in the permanent rotation in our home. Slow roasting is such a great way to cook fish because it’s almost impossible to mess up. The slow part is relative, by the way. This fish is perfectly cooked in about twenty-five minutes. There’s no slaving over the stove. Just throw it in the oven and let it do its thing. You can’t even imagine how tender and delicious this fish is when it comes out.

I’m guessing a number of you are wondering, “What in the heck is chermoula?” read more

Can I just be blunt for a moment? There are days when life hands you a sh*t sandwich with a side of sinus infection. I know you know those days. And on those days, if you’re at my home, I will hand you a bowl of classic homemade chicken soup. No bells or whistles. No trying to reinvent the wheel. Just the original real deal and sometimes, that’s exactly what you need.

It feels like so many of my friends are fighting off the cold/the stomach flu/the bubonic plague right now. So if that’s you, I feel you, sister! I’m right there with you. Classics are classics for a reason and this is one of the best. Warm comfort in a bowl. Easy peasy. Here you go. read more

So if I am being totally, completely honest, my obsession with pickled red onions just might have something to do with my favorite nachos at our local Mexican restaurant. Yes, I eat nachos, and happily, I might add. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying a little treat from time to time and nachos are at the top of my list. The tart, crispness of the pickled red onions (and jalapeños – later post) totally make the nachos pop, so I decided to create my own version of them. read more

Poached egg with sautéed spinach and lemon-cilantro quinoa is one of my favorite weekend breakfasts.

While fruity smoothies and bowls might dominate my Instagram feed, I’ll take this warm, savory breakfast every time! read more
