Last year on this day if someone told me I’d be spending the entirety of my 37th year living in this weird pandemic/quarantine/time-bending surreal reality, I would have never believed it. I spent the night partying with a group of beloved friends, some of whom I then wouldn’t see for the next ~6 months due to lockdown starting a couple of days later.
And then the year that followed was... weird? Terrible? But also pretty cool? It slowed evvvvverything down and showed me the things that genuinely, truly, honestly and authentically mattered. And I’m more thankful for that than I could possibly have imagined on March 13th of 2020.
So here I am, heading into year 38, and I’m ready. Like, really ready. Bring it. Let’s see what’s next 💕 (📸 )

Coming in hot on your weekend feed with another recipe from my new cookbook! There are 65 recipes in Easy Sheet Pan Cookbook, and they're a mixture of chicken, meat, seafood, and vegetable recipes.

This is one of my favorites from the book, and it's a version of a recipe I've been making for years- a Spiced Butternut Squash with Pistachios and Whipped Lemon Goat Cheese. And OH MAH LORD guys this is a good one. It's great as a vegetarian main course, or as a side. And it makes for a very pretty dinner party dish, too. That whipped goat cheese... I could eat it like ice cream. No word of a lie.

Pre-order for the book is available NOW on - so make sure to reserve your copy! Click here to grab yours: https://amzn.to/37LjYaK

But whatever you do, bookmark this recipe to try later, and get a little sneak peek of what else is in the book!

When everything feels like it is falling apart, I typically to turn to cooking in order to distract myself from the world outside our front door. Intently focusing on the food in front of me helps clear my head. I know I'm not alone in that, or elsec "stress baking" wouldn't be a thing! So this week, barely a week into an already crazy 2021, let's do some *stress cooking*, with sheet pan recipes. I'm officially declaring it a Thing. Start off with one of the first published recipes form my new cookbook, Easy Sheet Pan Cooking, and make this Skirt Steak with Sundried Tomatoes, Mozzarella, and Fresh Basil. It's quick, delicious, and makes GREAT leftovers the next day, whether tossed over a salad or packed into a sandwich. Pre-order your copy here: https://amzn.to/37LjYaK

My second cookbook is finally available for Pre-order!!! I put the finishing touches on many of these recipes in the early days of quarantine last spring, while recovering from covid-19, and flipping through the book the other day reminded me just how GOOD everything tasted once I got my sense of smell and taste back! Oh, 2020. You were a hell of a year.

Pre-order starts NOW, book is available everywhere on February 2nd! Click here to grab your copy: https://amzn.to/37LjYaK
