So I’m finally going to share with you all the story of our engagement! It’s been a whirlwind few weeks as you can imagine–I can’t believe Tyler and I have only been engaged for 3 weeks! It’s amazing how time flies–I’ve already been looking at venues, and now we’ve also been looking at houses…so you can imagine how crazy it is around here! But let’s go back to the beginning. — I had zero idea. Absolutely none. Tyler and I have talked about the future pretty regularly, we’re both very clearly invested in our relationship, and saw ourselves together in the…

Perfect for when you need to throw together a meal for the family when you’re prepping and running around to New Year’s parties! I’d been craving shrimp scampi for some reason recently, so when I snagged some shrimp at the grocery this was my go-to! Usually, I don’t think of shrimp scampi as being spicy, but that little hint of a kick from the red pepper flakes was kinda cool in this recipe! If spice isn’t your thing, then feel free to…

Installment 2 of Copycat week! The first installment was stuffed chicken marsala! Chicken Bellagio is hands-down one of my favorite meals of all time! And I eat a lot, so that should tell you something. This recipe is another one that shows you can have all the comforts and cravings of restaurant meals at home! Courtesy of the Cheesecake Factory. As far as I know I haven’t heard or seen of it anywhere else, so I’m going with that. In fact, it’s about the only dish (other than happy hour apps) that I order when I go there. It’s a huge portion,…

I’ll be honest, I don’t usually get excited about vegetarian recipes. No offense to any vegetarians! I just grew up in a household where my mom had the plate: protein main dish, side dish, vegetable. Pretty much every night. So while the vegetables were fine, and sometimes we got my mom’s amazing garlic bread, or “tha saw tha” (which was basically rice with scrambled eggs), it was always the protein that was the main focus! So when I saw this date night mushroom pasta with goat cheese over at Pinch of Yum and went “ooh, yum,” I knew I should try it!…

These little pillow puffs are deeelicious! But they do take a long time! For those of you who have ever tried to make gnocchi before, I’ll bet you already know this. But somehow I always manage to forget, especially because the ingredient list is so minimal, I think they’re a breeze to make! But when you boil them in multiple batches, and run out of space on your cutting board to continue rolling and cutting them up, it gets a little tedious and you remember just how long they take to make. So these bad boys will take you close to an…
