Pasta e Ceci is a one-pot pasta recipe that’s just as remarkably easy as it is iconic. “Pasta e Ceci” is Italian for pasta and chickpeas, and that’s exactly what you get here. Well, that and a garlic and chili flake spiked tomato broth, a generous drizzle of olive oil, and –if you’re feeling daring–…

20 Minute Corn Carbonara. This quick and easy pasta dish is filled with fresh corn and bacon, and flavored with a creamy corn-based sauce. No eggs are necessary for this spin on carbonara!

Enchilada Meatball Pasta Bake
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #MeatballPerfection #CollectiveBias I consider myself a “what-you-see-is-what-you-get” type of gal, so when people ask me what tricks I have up my sleeves to get dinner on the table on busy nights or make an appetizer at a moment’s…
Seafood Fra Diavolo
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #HuntsHasHeart #CollectiveBias In the typical sigh-inducing retail fashion, there’s been Valentine’s Day decorations out at the drugstore since right after Christmas. Heart-shaped candy boxes, heart plush toys, and heart-covered wrapping paper abound. There are obnoxious pink and red glittery hearts…
30 Minute Chicken & Broccoli Tortellini Alfredo Bake
How I imagine the average food bloggers’ dinner routine goes: She opens the kitchen windows to let the sunshine and smells from her garden soak into her house. She inhales deeply and smiles as she reaches for the vegetables she’s grown herself, then slowly, precisely chops them as woodland creatures poke their little heads through the window to…
Slow Cooker Short Rib Ragu with Horseradish Gremolata
Happy twenty-seventeen, friends. I hope you’ve started off the year hopeful about all of the things that lie ahead.

By analyzing, of course I mean without any data…

Creamy Lemon Butter Shrimp Pasta with Spinach and Caramelized Garlic
I’ve been seeing drunk food all over facebook lately– the stuff you make when you’ve had a lot to drink and suddenly you are Gordon Ramsey, nay, Alain Ducasse, nay, not even a Picasso of food could rival your superhuman creative flair in the kitchen. It’s revolutionary. It’s avante-garde. It… usually features heavy use of the microwave.
One Pot Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Pasta
It was bound to happen. Between my buffalo chicken obsession and never-ending stream of one pot pasta recipes, you probably saw this coming, right? Yes, you know what I’m talking about. It’s creamy, it’s cheesy, it’s spicy, and it’s carby. It’s what love songs and heart-eye-emojis were made for. It’s all of my guilty pleasures wrapped up into one…

Spicy Sesame-Chili Noodles with Chicken
When people find out that I’m a food blogger, they seem to be under the impression that my cabinets are overflowing with the most sophisticated of ingredients, and that I casually toss together grand culinary masterpieces day in and day out. Well, I wish. Just like everyone else, I dread spending too much time in the supermarket….
One Pot Chicken Cordon Bleu Alfredo with Toasted Breadcrumbs
Did you have a lovely, food-filled Eater? I did, and now I’m overloaded with more jelly beans than I know what to do with, a carton full of hard-boiled eggs, and a fridge stacked high with various leftover-filled plastic containers. I’m not sure how I’m ever going to get through all of this stuff. Are you right…
