Spaghetti Alfredo for Two (with Chicken!) is the c

Spaghetti Alfredo for Two (with Chicken!) is the creamy, cozy dinner you need in your life this week(end).

I use butter, garlic, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, whipped cream cheese, and a few splashes of pasta water to create a luxuriously creamy alfredo sauce that coats every single strand of spaghetti.

I also season a chicken breast with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning and cook that in the pan before cooking the sauce. The browned bits from the chicken add even more flavor to the alfredo sauce, and it's pretty delicious. 🥰

AND this is a small batch recipe that makes two servings, because quite honestly, alfredo sauce doesn't reheat very well. So it's perfect for a cozy dinner at home for two with no leftovers to worry about!

I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Slow cooker season is upon us, and one of my ALL-T

Slow cooker season is upon us, and one of my ALL-TIME favorite cuts of beef to slow cook is short ribs. They’re ultra meaty and so versatile, and when they slow cook for hours, they’re super tender and delicious! #ad

I love to think outside the box when it comes to creating new flavors in slow cooked meat. So many recipes for short ribs use red wine, which is great, but there’s SO much more that you can do! For this recipe, we use white miso paste and a parmesan rind to give these short ribs an umami-enhanced, ultimate beefy flavor. This intense beefy flavor is excellent when paired with peppery arugula and sweet, juicy plums - the combined flavors are exciting, unexpected, & SO good!

Not only is beef delicious when prepared properly, but it is also packed with protein and nutrients. One 3 oz. serving of beef fuels your body with zinc, iron, and B vitamins, too! Be sure to look for the best beef available at the store: Look for packaged beef that doesn't have any excess liquids, & be sure the beef is firm to the touch. If the short ribs are bright red in the package, that’s also a great sign! Choosing quality beef will directly contribute to how good it tastes after you’ve prepared it, so shop smart & set yourself up for success before you even start cooking.

This recipe makes about 24 mini cups. I originally wanted to make these into mini tacos, but these "cups" have extra room for more short ribs and toppings, so they win! 🥰

Ingredients (for the short ribs):
2 lbs. bone-in short ribs
olive oil, salt, + pepper
1 tbsp. white miso paste
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
⅓ cup finely chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, finely chopped
1” Parmesan rind (optional)
3 cups+ vegetable broth (low sodium)
1 tsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. rice vinegar
2 tsp. soy sauce

ingredients (for cups + topping):
2 cups baby arugula
1 plum, pitted & finely chopped
olive oil + salt
1/3 cup chopped green onions
1/3 cup crumbled feta
24 wonton wrappers
baking spray

I'm back! I hope you're ready for more cozy, small

I'm back! I hope you're ready for more cozy, small batch recipes this fall, because I have a LOT coming your way. Baked Pesto Turkey Meatballs are SUPER flavorful, and they're ready in less than 30 minutes.

The pesto adds SO much flavor to these meatballs, but a touch of crumbled feta, and seasonings amps it up even more.

This small(er) batch recipe makes 15 smaller meatballs, and they're reeeealllyy good when paired with the creamy feta cheese sauce that is linked in the post. You could also mix them into a pesto pasta, pair them with creamy parmesan risotto, or eat them with a gigantic arugula salad for a lighter approach.

Enjoy!

I'm done with providing weather updates. 🤣 I'm just going to provide you with soup updates from here on out!

THIS is maybe Mark's all-time favorite: a Small Batch Chicken and Vegetable Soup that is PACKED with flavor!

I use the usual suspects: potatoes, celery, carrot, onion, garlic, garlic, etc., but there's a couple of key ingredients that really set this one above the rest: chicken bone broth, white miso paste, and a splash of white wine.

All of this can be YOURS in just 30 minutes, but it really benefits from simmering for longer than that if time allows. You can also store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days, and reheat it over low heat on the stovetop.
