Small Batch Beer Pizza Dough
An easy pizza dough recipe for one pizza. I’m guilty of ordering pizza from local pizza places … like … a LOT. But after testing this small batch pizza dough recipe quite a few times, it’s going to be a regular in my house! This pizza dough is thick and chewy, and makes a perfect […]
spicy ricotta baked meatballs :: small batch recipe
what can I make with leftover ricotta cheese? SPICY RICOTTA BAKED MEATBALLS Ricotta is one of those ingredients that I get for one recipe, and then it goes to die in my refrigerator. But why? Ricotta is so delicious! There’s no reason it shouldn’t be used in its entirety. So, in hopes to change my […]
crunchy chicken tostada stacks
An Easy Stacked Tostada Recipe! Crunchy chicken tostada stacks are a new favorite around here. They’re insanely easy to make, they’re delicious, and you can make them to fit your exact tastes. I like mine with some spicy black beans, melty cheese, and hot salsa. 🙂 Another bonus in this recipe is the use of […]
shredded chicken caesar lettuce wraps
As promised, here is the first recipe to use with the greek yogurt caesar dressing. It’s so easy to throw together, and it’s’ also delicious.

cacio e pepe + shallots : a small batch recipe
you fancy Cacio e pepe is one of my top three favorite pasta dishes of all time. It’s simple, to the point, and packed with luscious texture and flavor. The last restaurant I worked at made an incredible cacio e pepe, but they added a slight twist : shallots. Oh! And a sous vide poached egg […]

fish tacos with crunchy red cabbage slaw
fish tacos! crunchy slaw! let’s eat! I think fish tacos need to be a weekly thing. They’re so incredibly easy to make, they taste absolutely delicious, and they are relatively healthy! (If you swapped a lettuce wrap for the tortilla, you’d really be in business.) Every time I make fish tacos, I seriously wonder why I don’t […]
small batch carrot cake cupcakes.
Small batch carrot cake cupcakes are the new thing. Rather than eating healthier this year, maybe we can all just make less to begin with. (That is completely logical, isn’t it?) But on a serious note, as I mentioned in my small batch walnut brownies post, my goal for 2018 is to shift my focus to small […]
garlic parmesan scalloped potatoes : a small batch recipe.
Despite our affinity with dining out, like, everyday … we are pretty good at “date night in” every now and then. Our obsession this year has been locally sourced, two-inch-thick boneless ribeyes, and I have to tell you, it has been EPIC. I definitely apologize if you’re against meat, because I don’t want to offend anyone. […]
