Garlic White Wine Skillet Chicken with Olives & Artichokes

Extra juicy crispy-skinned garlic white wine skillet chicken with olives and artichokes. Served over a bed of pasta, this low-prep one-skillet chicken is simple enough for a weeknight, but fancy enough for a dinner party.  I’m finally home after spending three nights in Boston at a middle-school style slumber party bachelorette party (except with wine, good…

Chicken Pot Pie with Chestnut Biscuits (Gluten-Free)

Chicken Pot Pie with Chestnut Biscuits

This warm and roasty chicken pot pie topped with chestnut biscuits is a tribute to the cutest new baby bowl to join Two Red Bowls. Today was officially Cynthia’s due date, but baby bowl just couldn’t wait to eat his mama’s cooking and came a little early!

Butternut Squash Lasagna with Chestnut Pasta

Butternut Squash & Turkey Lasagna with Chestnut Pasta

Lasagna from scratch was the first dish I made Lucas. He says it’s when he fell in love with me, but that was like our third date, so probably an exaggeration. On the other hand, it might also be the reason I have a husband, so I keep making it. This butternut squash & turkey…

Ginger Lemongrass Pork Lettuce Wraps with Nuoc Cham Sauce

Ginger Lemongrass Pork Lettuce Wraps

These ginger lemongrass pork lettuce wraps with nuoc cham sauce are my contribution to a lettuce wrap party for two with Todd of Honestlyyum . When we hatched plans to use a lettuce wrap collab to try our hand at stop-motion video (inspired by Betty’s tutorial), I could have sworn he said “Hey, can I  come over and hold your baby?” (What’s…

Salmon Tacos with Green Onion & Asparagus Salsa

Salmon Tacos with Green Onion & Asparagus Salsa

Raise your hand if you’ve ever had popcorn and ice cream for dinner because the thought of figuring out what to eat, going to the store, and coming back to cook it was enough to make you need a nap. Real talk. That’s basically mealtime with a new baby in a nutshell. (Also: when can I get that nap?). What if I told you someone would do the recipe planning and shopping part for you and you’d spend only 30 minutes in the kitchen before chowing down on these healthy salmon tacos?

You’d probably get that nap. That’s what.

Today I’m stoked to share about my collaboration with Sun Basket – what kept us nourished for the month after Zoella was born and brought these salmon tacos into my life. But first: let me paint the scene in our house.

Braised Short Rib Tagine with Figs & Almonds

Braised Short Rib Tagine with Figs & Almonds {for two}

Back when I first told you about #cheesebabygirl, I mentioned my new-found love affair with milk. When random people at the grocery store (yah, that’s a thing) ask me what unusual cravings I’ve had throughout my pregnancy, the only answer is milk. 7.5 months in and my love for milk is still just as fierce as day…

DIY Sushi Rolls at Home

DIY Sushi at Home: A Video Collaboration

A food blogger friend I’ve never met in person recently observed that it seems Japanese is my favorite cuisine. My obsession is THAT transparent. Back in college, you would never have guessed that 10 years down the line, I’d have fallen so hard into a sushi love affair to the point of making DIY sushi…

Sausage Apple Cornbread Stuffing

Apple and Sausage Cornbread Stuffing with Sage {gluten-free}

Even though I’ve dreamed of city life since I was just a kid hoping to one day make it big in the movies, I’m a small-town country girl at heart. I like to think I’ve learned a bit of city street smarts over the years since I moved away from home, but it hasn’t always been…

Caprese Fettuccine

Caprese fettuccine with Italian chicken sausage

This wasn’t supposed to be today. No – today was supposed to be a two-part dessert to use up our fruiting meyer lemon tree. Then sometimes things just happen. Things like your fall wardrobe barely fitting coupled with the realization that the last three recipes you’ve shared were desserts. And as you photograph ice cream sandwiches and cupcakes,…

BBQ Pulled Pork Quesadilla

Texas BBQ pulled pork quesadillas with vinegar slaw

The neighbors got suspicious when they peered through the fence and noticed Lucas and Mikey digging a 4-foot deep 3×5-foot pit in our backyard. By offering an invitation, I assured them that we were planning to roast a pig, not bury a body. For my last 20-something birthday, we invited all our friends over for a potluck pig…

Guilt-free shrimp and veggie fettuccine with cauliflower alfredo

Raise your hand if your favorite pasta dish as a child was creamy fettuccine alfredo. Did your house exclusively refer to fettucine alfredo as “Sarah’s favorite pasta” like mine? I’d order it every time I found it featured on a dinner menu and I’d throw in some shrimp for good measure. And when I grew up a…

Sun-dried tomato, basil, and mozzarella turkey meatballs

Have you spent a Friday night rolling a couple dozen miniature meatballs? While preparing 10 different healthy meals for the kids lunch box photo shoot for Lucas’s new start-up OmieLife, I did just that. I can now add “lunch box food stylist” to my resume. Marble-sized food stylist to be exact – I can confidently…

Spicy Shrimp Tacos

Spicy shrimp tacos with cabbage slaw

Recipe Rewind February 26, 2014: While eating our way through Nashville this weekend, we stopped by a little home goods shop in Franklin where I gawked over the cutest recipe card box ever. Then I came back down to earth and remembered that I don’t need (another) physical recipe card box – I have a food blog…

Sweet Potato Skillet Pasta with Sausage

Smoked sausage sweet potato skillet pasta

This post is sponsored by Hillshire Farm** Up until now, there’s been exactly one way we’ve eaten sausage for dinner: on sandwich rolls with cooked peppers and onions. A little mayo, some mustard. This old link gets me thinking I really need to re-visit some of my early recipes – that picture makes the sausage…

Smoked salmon soba bowl

When you insist on experimenting with new recipes every single week, there are occasional meals when you and your husband awkwardly smile at one another from across the table and you know you’re both wishing you’d just ordered pizza instead. And still, he packs up the leftovers of whatever flop you just created and takes…

Pork tamales with chile colorado

We’re a very traditional family when it comes to holiday meals. For Thanksgiving, an enormous roasted bird sits surrounded by cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce, sweet potato casserole, and green beans. Dessert is always homemade pecan pie and pumpkin pie. Like clockwork, sometime around mid-November you’d find childhood me begging my mom…

Coca Cola pulled chicken sliders

Since we’re back in the US now, I thought I’d share a recipe that screams “America!” And what’s more American than Coca Cola, amiright? Really, I made these sliders the week before we left, but I’ve been saving the recipe. To be honest, besides my fresh fruit breakfasts, I hardly missed our standard American fare while…

Pan-fried sole & mixed wild rice with roasted grapes (gluten-free)

I’ve been in a rut with my dissertation lately. When you’re in a rut, you reflect. Reflect on what’s keeping you from making the progress that you need. Then maybe you can figure out how to get over that and just write your little heart out. And I think I’ve discovered a few things about myself that…

Quick chicken & Spanish chorizo weeknight paella

I accidentally ate mac and cheese this weekend. It was not a moment of weakness where I thought, “oh, screw it, I’m eating this.” It was an honest-to-goodness mistake. We had some friends over for some BBQ this weekend and one of them brought over some bacon-filled deli mac n’ cheese. My response?  “Ooo –…

  • Waffles make the best dessert. These gluten-free grids are flavored with chamomile and topped with a hot pink blood orange glaze and a dollop of whipped cream. If you don’t have chamomile on hand, skip it and add more vanilla! Search “chamomile waffles” on snixykitchen.com for the recipe!

My Valentine’s (@lucasmenanix) flight home from his week in Reno, NV for work got cancelled due to the storm. He’s currently 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 he can catch a flight to San Jose where his drive home in traffic will be almost as long as if he just drove home from Reno. Except the snow is so bad he can’t actually drive home from Reno safely 😩😩
•
BUT all is not lost because it means I get to spend a romantic dinner over homemade ragu with @audreypeterson & @toddwagner + three kids instead (...should we make waffles for dessert???). Will you guys be my Valentine? 💕💞
  • {New} Dark chocolate honey fig walnut truffles for you...because I 💜 you. I didn’t realize it when I made them but they’re an aphrodisiac trifecta...which it turns out is probably mostly myth, but it’s fun to think about for Valentine’s Day! Why not go for the sexiest truffle you can? Recipe link in profile!
•
And if you’re not into the Valentine’s Day hoopla, I also happen to know they’re great for stress eating in the middle of the night when both of your kids are screaming...or while snuggling on the couch with your cat and a good bottle of wine • @valleyfig @cookscountry #ValleyFigValentine
  • {New!} A nostalgic breakfast pastry made gluten-free - in partnership with @bobsredmill (ad), these gluten-free strawberry pop tarts with naturally bright pink hibiscus icing are up on the blog just in time for Valentine’s Day - link in profile! • 
When Zoella found my new sprinkles on the shelf last week, she asked if she could bring them to daycare to show all her friends. We compromised and I let her put them on the first test batch of these pop tarts. She then made mile-high sprinkle mountains in the center of each pop tart. Though these pastries are so delicious that the icing and sprinkles are totally optional, she’d say otherwise. #betterwithbobs #bakedwithbobs #bobsredmill #weekendbaking #hibiscustea
  • Happy THIRD (!!!) birthday to Zoella Mae! The shift from 2 to 3 has been HUGE and suddenly she’s a threenager with grand ideas and stubborn convictions. And I love her to the 🌙 and back! • 
At age 3, she’s into: art, actually helping in the kitchen, 1-to-1 cake-to-sprinkles ratios, the phases of the moon, astronauts, mismatched socks, specifically rainbow zebras, and negotiating by saying, “...Is that a deal? Ok.” • 
Her current goals: eat ice cream with her nonny & grandpa, run a race this year, become a doctor when she grows up • #threeyearsold #birthdaygirl
  • It’s Zoella‘s birthday week (3 already!😩) and I’m bringing mini cupcake versions of this healthy banana date cake to daycare on Thursday. I did the same last year and now her teacher calls it “the best cake I’ve ever eaten.” Zoella says it’s so good you might just hug it. Recipe link in profile!
•
In preparation for her birthday, I ashamed to admit how long I spent looking for my balloon animal pump last night. And I still didn’t find it! I know what it looks like - it’s purple. And I’ve SLID IT SOMEWHERE. Like “where should I keep this? Oh look it slides perfectly RIGHT HERE.” Except I have no idea where that place is now. Sure, I could borrow one (and I did) but it won’t stop me from continuing to hunt for mine in the meantime...I feel unsettled when I misplace things. Also, I don’t recommend practicing balloon animal monkeys while the baby is napping 😳🤦🏼‍♀️

  • {New} Salted caramel cheesecake mini pavlova cakes topped with glazed walnuts • In partnership with @diamondnuts (ad), these crisp pillowy cloud-like meringue cakes are on the blog. A dessert that seems impressively fancy but is surprisingly easy to put together - watch me make them on IGTV! • Recipe link in profile #MadeForHomemade
  • Do you have a favorite back pocket recipe? This cake is mine. Today is #nationalchocolatecakeday and this one bowl chocolate cake is the very best gluten-free chocolate cake. I’ve made it over 200 times over the years in various forms: layer cake, 8-inch round, cupcakes, mini cupcakes, sheet cake, bundt cake. It’s versatile, forgiving, and comes together so easily that I make it from memory now. In fact, it’s so simple, my almost 3 year old, Zoella, made a version to bring to a dinner party last week while I rattled off measurements for her. (She then went rogue and dumped almost an entire tube of sprinkles on top...)
•
This weekend’s version was in the form of 100+ mini cupcakes with whipped marshmallow frosting and graham crackers on top for our neighbor’s 3rd birthday party yesterday.
• 
In time for Valentine’s day, get the recipe for the cake AND this naturally pink ombré hibiscus frosting on the blog - link in profile!  #feedfeed #food52
  • {New} Weeknight Instant Pot beef ragu. Braising the meat in @luciniitalia’s organic tomato sauces (ad) is my shortcut way to infuse flavor into a beef ragu that tastes like it took hours to make. (Hours I don’t have because my hands are full at dinner time - just last week my toddler LOCKED me in the garage while laughing with her baby brother on the other side of the door) • Needless to say, we need quick hands-off meals over here. This one is the ultimate cozy comfort sauce • Get the recipe link in my profile! • #luciniinspired
