my kitchen
When I was around 4 years old, I remember wanting to listen in on the adult conversations on Sunday afternoon at my grandmother’s house.
There was a nook underneath this large black and white marbled dining room table.
I would read cookbooks when I got bored. My grandfather loved Emeril Lagasse and the famous “bam” he would give on cooking shows.
I really fell in love with cooking a decade ago. I would post healthy recipes, primarily vegetarian, then while my dietary lifestyle changes, it turned into nourishing meals that were nutrient-dense and delicious.
Yes, it is a dream to go to cooking school or host classes locally. Until then, enjoy the recipes. Make them your own, measure most of the time, more importantly, go with what feels best for you.
Buon Apetito!
Fall recipes I love
pumpkin spice latte
This is a meal that cooks for a long time, and is so low maintenance. Minimal prep, maximum reward.
Tortelleni in brodo
Busy nights call for simple, nourishing meals.
Use rotisserie chicken, slivers of parmesan, gluten free tortellini noodles from Taste Republic, bone broth, basil and green onions, and this comes together in 15 min.
Butternut squash Burrata bake
Simple, delicious, put it in the oven and forget about it.
Butternut squash, sage, sourdough bread, burrata and optional Italian sausage. Easy, delicious. Perfect for fall.
maple overnight oats
Chia pudding packed with pumpkin, oats, maple, yogurt, and pumpkin spice.
french inspired cozy roasted chicken
Busy nights call for simple, nourishing meals.
I love this meal because it’s a set it and forget it type of meal. You chop your veg, roast, add protein, roast, add croutons and creamy herb sauce, roast. LOVE!

Using Traders Joe chicken meatballs, a standard base for soup (carrot, celery, onion, shallot), lacinato kale, acini de pepe pasta, cooked in bone broth, basil.
