So, you don’t want to wait all day for Best Ever Black Bean Soup? I can’t blame you! Maybe you still need to pick up some ingredients, or just don’t like leaving the slow cooker on when you’re not home, or maybe you just like how little clean-up is needed with your Instant Pot. Fear…

Grilled Cumin-Sage Pork Tenderloin
What do you make when your sister is coming for dinner? It’s got to be special (because she is), but not so time-consuming that you’re stuck in the kitchen instead of enjoying her company. I thought I’d be brave and try something new that I found on The Spruce, with very few tweaks. I don’t…
Broccolini Farro Salad
Can we have this every night? It’s that good! As with many of my favorite recipes, this one originated at Smitten Kitchen. I rarely tweak anything from that site — Deb Perelman is just that brilliant — but here I opted for broccolini rather than broccoli. It’s a bit sweeter, and the stems are more tender. Otherwise, it’s…
Pork, Potato, & Fennel Sheet Pan Supper
Today’s sheet pan supper was inspired by a recipe from Cooking Light way back in 2001. It’s delicious, and someday I’ll make it again to post here. But today, I just wasn’t in the mood to sauté. Sometimes, I just wanna pile some stuff on a pan and stuff it in the oven, yeah?…
Carrots With Crispy Shallot Butter
Uh-oh, I’m out of chives! I’ve had mixed luck growing them in my Aerogarden because for some reason, they don’t always germinate. I had some leftover carrots from a sheet pan supper, and I wanted a quick and easy way to prepare them for dinner. Carrots With Chive Butter is my go-to for that,…
Madras Shrimp With Rice
Madras Shrimp is one of my favorite ways to cook shrimp. So flavorful, and you don’t even have to sauté the shrimp! It turns out to be a pretty easy dish to convert to a freezer meal, too. What a treat, to come home to a quick and easy freezer meal! A note about…
Cooking Dried Black Beans
I’d say black beans are my favorite, but that wouldn’t exactly be accurate. They’re probably tied with chickpeas, but my favorite beans are really whichever ones I’m eating at the time. I include both stovetop and Instant Pot directions here. Either way, I much prefer cooking them myself to buying them canned. They’re better, both…
Chicken, Basil, & Brassica Sheet Pan Supper
This spectacular supper is as delicious as it is beautiful, and it’s healthy, too! It started when I saw a gorgeous head of orange cauliflower in the grocery store. I knew I just had to roast it. And there’s no better way than to give it such glorious company! I borrowed the marinade from Lemony Basil…
