“I love this dish! You can make it with chicken or tofu and it’s delish! It’s sweet and spicy and definitely has a crunch (which is important to me!)”

I’ve had canned enchilada sauce and thought it was acceptable. But I am now a full grown woman who should know better so I figured out how to make my own so I feel legitimate. You can, too and I am here to hold your hand the whole way through.

I am IN LOVE with this dish. It’s really freaking good and is a regular request from my clients to round out their meals for the week. It’s briny and sweet from the capers and tomatoes, packs a little crunch from toasted pine nuts and brightness from the lemon zest! This really is one of my favorites these days!

This sauce is warm and cozy in all the right ways. It has depth of flavor from using a two different meats and some good parmesan and the right herbs (and maybe a splash of wine if you happen to have some open already). And then you douse it with shaved parmesan because THAT’S WHAT WE DO AROUND HERE, don’t bug me about it.

These are heavily inspired by the Garden and Gun Devilish Eggs recipe. I just made some minor adjustments to suit my liking… a tiny hike in sriracha contribution, chopped chives and some bacon pieces on top for obvious reasons.

I would eat these every day if Todd wouldn’t start looking at me funny like I needed an intervention. Tacos everyday all day. He asks me where I want to go for date night and I just stare at him like he is speaking a foreign language. OF COURSE we must have tacos. And these spicy shrimp numbers are my absolute favorite to whip up at home.

This salsa is magic just with chips. But I have also mounded it atop grilled steak, dumped it onto tacos and spooned it ever so gently onto a nice piece of pan fried mahi. I imagine I would also swoon if it found it’s way onto a burger with bacon or with fried chicken or on a omelet. WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY IS – it’s good on just about anything.

We thought you may need a mid-week dinner idea that will absolutely make your skirts fly up. 

Last night I was deep into a Netflix binge and a neat Bourbon because: HORMONES. Bitchy little things, aren’t they? Anyway… moving along. Emily shot me a text of the dinner she whipped up for her brood and I  immediately wished I was at HER house instead of wallowing in hormonal sorrow. 

This is the perfect party food/grown-up lunch box miracle/beach day picnic/WHATEVER… (you get the idea)

Emily and I live in the best little beach town on the NC coast and shrimp are just glorious here! So we look for ways to celebrate them whenever we can. This shrimp salad is so so good and amazingly easy!

It’s Friday and at my house that means pizza. And PJ’s. And snuggling on the couch with a good movie.

But mostly pizza. Let’s be honest.
