Happy New Year, friends! Two weeks into the year isn't too late to say that, right? Today I'm sharing a recipe that was many months in the making: my recipe for bang bang shrimp tacos!

CHEESY SPICY BREAKFAST HASH RECIPE
To quote one of the greatest shows to ever grace our television screens "Why would anybody ever eat anything besides breakfast food?" About a month into quarantine, I found myself using a lot of my extra time at home to try my hand at creating new recipes.

VEGETARIAN ENCHILADAS WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS RECIPE
Everyone has their own version of comfort food, and for me, it comes in the form of warm, gooey, cheesy Mexican food. I love a good taco, but my real weakness is enchiladas. My favorite local Tex-Mex place has the BEST cheese enchiladas and I pretty much crave them 24/7. However, since I don't really have the budget to eat out every single time I'm craving enchiladas, I set out to find a good recipe for them a few weeks ago. I was shocked at how difficult it was to find a good recipe for cheese enchiladas, so I decided...

UPGRADED VEGETARIAN RAMEN RECIPE
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I LOVE a good bowl of ramen. There's just something so comforting and delicious about it. Last year I decided I wanted to try my hand at making some upgraded homemade ramen. I found a great recipe on Pinterest that I loved, but it required a homemade mushroom broth that was a bit labor intensive for me. After making it a few times, I realized I could recreate the flavor profile of the recipe in a much simpler way. I usually make homemade ramen at least twice a month, so I've workshopped...

RECIPE ROUNDUP: FEBRUARY + MARCH FAVORITES
I developed a love of cooking in college and it's grown even stronger over the last few years. There's something about cooking that's so relaxing to me, and trying new recipes has become a great creative outlet. I typically try to cook one new recipe a week, although when life gets hectic or I'm feeling particularly exhausted it sometimes ends up being more of a biweekly thing. I find recipes through a variety of sources, but mostly using Pinterest, cooking blogs, and my collection of cookbooks. I wanted to be sure that I could link all of the recipes I'm...

BBQ CAULIFLOWER WINGS WITH BLUE CHEESE DIP RECIPE
It's been over 10 years since I last ate meat, so I'm finally at the point where there aren't many meat dishes that I crave. There are a few exceptions to this, though, and perhaps the biggest one is wings. I was never all that into wings when I still ate meat because I hated spicy things, but I've grown to like a little bit of spice and after marrying someone who LOVES wings I've found myself craving them anytime I smell the delicious sauce.

VEGGIE TACOS WITH AVOCADO CREMA RECIPE
Cooking has been one of my favorite hobbies for years now, but with everything that's been happening in the world lately, it's been a great stress reliever too. Since I know a lot more people will be cooking at home rather than going out to eat over the next few weeks, I'm going to do my best to share some new recipes with you all! This recipe for Veggie Tacos with Avocado Crema is a great place to start. I adapted it from a recipe I originally found on one of my favorite vegetarian cooking blogs, Cookie and Kate. If...

15 MINUTE SHRIMP & GRITS
Hi friends - it's been a minute! Since my last post almost two months ago (yikes) I've gotten married, traveled to Greece for the most incredible honeymoon, and settled into a new job. That's enough excuses for taking such a long hiatus from blogging, right? Anyways, my grand re-entrance to the blogosphere is coming in the form of one of my favorite simple recipes: shrimp and grits. Since moving to "the south," aka the DMV area, I've been delighted to see that the vast majority of brunch menus at the restaurants I frequent include shrimp and grits. However, I'm a...

BALSAMIC PASTA WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES RECIPE
I didn't take a serious interest in cooking until probably my junior year of college. I had dabbled in it before, but that summer I tasked my dad with teaching me as many recipes as possible. Despite the fact that I've loved cooking ever since and have made home-cooked meals almost every night for the past three years, it was only recently that I started to venture into the world of creating my own recipes. I've always found it much easier to just follow a recipe, but I want to get to a point where I can just whip something...

MY FAVORITE POTATO LEEK SOUP RECIPE
I don't know how it happened, but somehow I went 22 years without ever trying potato leek soup. The first time I ever had it was actually when Darian and I took our first trip to Disney together. It was on the menu at the Be Our Guest restaurant and it was SO GOOD. About a month ago (over 3 years after that trip) I was watching TV and someone made potato leek soup. It gave me the weirdest craving for that soup from Be Our Guest, so I browsed Pinterest until I found a recipe that looked perfect. I...
