Seafood Gumbo for #SundaySupper #MardiGras
Woo! Get out your beads and whet your appetite because it’s time to celebrate… It’s Mardi Gras! This week is Fat Tuesday! Of course the Sunday Supper team is starting the party a little early with “Fat Sunday” hosted by Leslie of La Cocina de Leslie. I love all of the New Orleans-inspired dishes, especially […]
New Orleans Style Vegetarian Chili for #SundaySupper
My trip to New Orleans last month left me totally and completely inspired, in more ways than one. The most influential part, though, was definitely the preparation of food. The heat, the layers of flavor upon flavor, the list of ingredients so simple yet still so alluring… It was pretty cold while I was there, […]
Quinoa Salad with Butternut Squash, Dried Cherries, Pomegranate and Pepitas
As much as I absolutely hate the cold, I spent last weekend visiting my parents in New Jersey. Yes, it was below 30 degrees. Yes, I saw snow for the first time in three years. Yes, I wore three layers everywhere I went. And yes, I wore snow boots, a scarf, gloves, and an earwarmer/headband. […]
Baked Gnocchi with Spinach and Homemade Tomato Sauce for #WeekdaySupper
Easy weeknight meals are my jam. Love ‘em! There’s nothing I hate more than getting home from work at 7:15pm and having to make dinner. Sometimes I’m lucky enough to get home and my roommate is cooking, or I have plans to go out to eat, but on those nights when I have to fend […]
One Dish Dinners: Spicy Lentil Mushroom Ragout
Before I share today’s recipe, I have to give a huge shout out to my parents. It is so cool to see how my blogging has inspired both of them to cook more and try new foods. I’m so proud of them! They’ve always cooked, but it feels like only recently they have taken a […]

Guest Post: Creole Meatball Po’Boys from The Texan New Yorker
Today I’d like you all to welcome Julie from The Texan New Yorker! Julie’s a transplant from one big city (Dallas) to the next (NYC). She, like me, started out as a pretty picky eater and has transformed into a foodie with an appreciation for every morsel we put in our mouths. From someone who couldn’t even […]

Today is the first Sunday Supper of 2014! We’re “Slowly Bringing in the New Year” with a roundup of great recipes for your slow cooker. Thank you to Cindy from Cindy’s Recipes and Writing for hosting! I’m going to make a valiant attempt to use mine more often this year, especially for soups and stews. […]
“Spaghetti and Meatballs” Turkey Meatballs with Spaghetti Squash
Can you believe we are already a day into 2014? Shouldn’t we be living like the Jetson’s by now? I mean, seriously, this is the time we dreamt of when we were little. We should be driving spaceships, teleporting and giving orders to our robot butlers and maids. There are definitely some futuristic things going […]
Asian-Marinated Salmon with #GourmetGarden
I hate those nights when you can’t decide what to do for dinner, especially when you’re working until 7pm and it’s like…do I feel like cooking, or should I just pick something up on my way home? Now, you’d think that since I work at Publix, I wouldn’t run into this dilemma often because whatever I want is right at […]
