Smoky Spicy Three Bean Chili

Nov 24, 2020 | By Melissa

This week it finally got cold. I can smell a crisp chill in the air. You know what that means. It’s chili season!! When I add chili powder and cumin to a big stewpot, my kitchen is instantly converted into a space of warmth and comfort. I have always found bean chilis to be more […]

Cheesy Spinach and Green Chile Enchiladas

Apr 11, 2016 | By Melissa

Remember how I hatched a plot to eat greens at every meal? Yeah…desserts kind of got in the way of that healthy plan. But you know, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and I am still trying to focus on the greenery as much as possible! So this month for the Secret Recipe Club challenge, […]

Chana Masala

Jan 23, 2016 | By Melissa

I adore Indian food. I love the spices and the warmth. I love that Indian food is packed with things that are good for my body, and that it doesn’t taste like “health food.” Indian food is fantastic. But I’ve got to admit that I don’t cook Indian food at home very often. True, I love going […]

Wasabi Tuna Salad

Jan 06, 2016 | By Melissa

I’m not exactly sure how this happened, but I have become a little obsessed with tuna salad. Tuna salad is one of those polarizing foods: you either love it or you hate it, and there isn’t much of anything in between. In fact, I bet half of you have already wrinkled your noses in disgust. […]

Homemade Taco Seasoning

Jul 19, 2015 | By Melissa

Have you ever made your own taco seasoning? It’s kind of glorious. Yes, it’s true: I have a penchant for making things from scratch that I could easily have bought in the store…but in this case, I really do think it’s worth it. Not only will you avoid totally unnecessary ingredients, like gums and gluten, […]

Fish Tacos with Chipotle Mayo and Coleslaw

Jun 04, 2015 | By Melissa

I have long been on a quest for the perfect fish taco to make at home: something spicy and tangy and crunchy and earthy that makes me lick my fingers and go back for more. And let me tell you, I have really had some fish taco failures at home—there are so many different recipes […]

Spicy Peanut Noodles with Shrimp

May 19, 2015 | By Melissa

I can’t believe my beautiful girl is 4 weeks old! But it was a long road in getting there (and I’m not just talking about sleepless nights)…did you know she was a week overdue? I spent a lot of time during the last few weeks of my pregnancy doing one “last” adventure with Jake, one […]

Chipotle Sweet Potato Burgers

May 03, 2015 | By Melissa

It’s finally warm and beautiful outside! The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and you know what that means: eating outside! This time of year I am always on the lookout for different ways to make a veggie burger. This sweet potato version is a doozy: sweet and spicy and starchy all in one! […]

Zippy Wheatberry Chili

Jan 20, 2015 | By Melissa

This chili is stupendous. It really is. And I absolutely love that it’s basically a complete meal in a bowl! It’s got whole grains, protein, veggies, flavor for miles… I’m not going to go on and on about it, because you should really just grab some pots and spoons and make it!
