Chard and Sweet Potato Hash-brown Breakfast

Chard and Sweet Potato Hash-brown Breakfast

Not usually a “healthy eating” fanatic, but these hashbrowns just happen to be really good for you! Honestly I like them better than normal hashbrowns. Since I discovered them on the Centr app (which I highly recommend), they have become a staple weekend breakfast at 

Kapusniak (Polish Sauerkraut Soup)

Kapusniak (Polish Sauerkraut Soup)

Doesn’t get much simpler and more quintessentially Polish than sour cabbage (sauerkraut) soup. It may sound odd,  but it’s a delicious comforting meal, perfect for those fall and winter night dinners. If you want to cut down on the sour-ness, you can rinse the sauerkraut 

Broccoli and Shrimp Frittata

Broccoli and Shrimp Frittata

I know this combination sounds odd, but it is absolutely fantastic. And the sauce makes it a grand slam. This Asian-fusion frittata is great for brunch obviously, but I have been known to make it for a light spring or summer dinner as well. The 

Angel Hair in Peanut Sauce

Angel Hair in Peanut Sauce

This has been one of my favorite dishes since I started learning how to cook. It’s easy and delicious. I have recipes that swap-in whole wheat pasta to try to be more “healthy” – the flavors usually don’t go! But this recipe was made with 

Gingered Carrots

Gingered Carrots

I am not a lover of carrots. This recipe convinced me I can have them as a side and enjoy it! It’s a great addition to your side repertoire. The original is from “The New American Plate”, so you know it’s healthy. I haven’t made 

Potato and Celery Root Croquettes

Potato and Celery Root Croquettes

Spaghetti con le Sarde

Spaghetti con le Sarde

I discovered this dish when my husband and I were trying rally hard to figure out with the 4 cans of sardines my parents inexplicably left at our house. After making it, I can’t believe it’s not more popular. It’s super tasty and very quick 

Turkey Tikka Masala

Turkey Tikka Masala

Not gonna lie, this recipe is a huge pain in the ass. Especially if you go above and beyond and roast your own spices and actually grill the dark turkey meat. But unfortunately the work is worth it. Curse you Alton Brown! The original is 

Blood Orange Side Salad

Blood Orange Side Salad

This salad is an Aggie original. You can pretty much put anything in a salad and the same goes for a vinaigrette, which is a lot easier to make than you think. I’ve made many variations of this salad often adding apples or making a 

Pumpkin Cornbread

Pumpkin Cornbread

I absolutely love this cornbread. It’s not only easy to make, but appropriate for all occasions. It strikes that perfect balance between sweet and savory, making it perfect for both. The original recipe is out of “The Pumpkin Cookbook”, and although there is pumpkin in
