Silas once ate a third of this casserole standing at the counter, straight out of the pan, and then asked me when dinner was ready. Dinner was the casserole. He had just eaten it. We both stood there in silence for a second, and I knew right then this recipe was a keeper. This green … Read more
Gluten Free Dairy Free Meals: Most gluten free and dairy free dinners have a terrible reputation, and a lot of them earned it. I’ve eaten the sad pasta. I’ve bitten into the “cheese” that behaves like candle wax. I’ve also watched Silas push food around his plate and say “it’s fine” in a tone that … Read more
These air fryer chicken thighs have golden, crackly skin and meat that’s so juicy it kinda drips. They’re done in about 25 minutes, with barely any mess and no standing over a hot stove. Fair warning: once you see how easy this is, your oven might start to feel a little left out. Side Note: … Read more
That is what Italian sausage lasagna soup does to people. It tastes like a big, bubbly pan of lasagna, but it all happens in one pot and lands on the table in about 40 minutes. No layering. No separate pot for noodles. No waiting an hour for something to come out of the oven. I … Read more
Creamy Lasagna Soup: This soup has everything you love about a big pan of lasagna. The cheesy ricotta swirl, the rich tomato meat sauce, the noodles. But it comes together in one pot in under an hour, no layering required, no waiting for it to set before you slice it. I made this on a … Read more

No rotisserie spit required. No weird fillers either. Side Note: If you’ve never made tzatziki from scratch, you’re going to be shocked at how easy it is. … Read more
Lasagna Soup: Here’s the thing. Lasagna is amazing, but it’s also a two hour project with dishes stacked to the ceiling. Some nights I want the flavor without the layering, the baking, and the twenty minutes of “letting it rest” while everyone stares at it hungry. So I broke the noodles. Threw them into a … Read more
Silas is not a fish guy. He says this loudly, usually right before he eats every bite on his plate and asks if there’s more. That’s exactly what happened the night I made this Mediterranean baked fish. He came in from mowing the lawn, smelled the lemon and garlic hitting the oven, and suddenly he … Read more
