When 5:56am feels like sleeping in, then you know you’ve been working hard for the money. Not long after our newest alarm kitty sounded off this morning (thanks Mister!), my stomach started grumbling for breakfast. Since I had a red potato trying to take root in my pepper basket, fresh made restaurant style salsa in…

Chili Paneer
I pretty much watch every video Padma Lakshmi posts on Instagram, and so I was craving paneer pretty badly and threw this solo dinner together in less than 30 minutes. I highly doubt my take on this popular Indo-Chinese dish is anywhere near as tasty as Padma’s fresh, handmade paneer, but it was close enough…

Portobello Pot Pie
At the start of the pandemic, as you know, I signed up for Misfit Market. Since it’s just the two of us, I opted for their smallest box and biweekly delivery. It’s been a great experience overall, and the perk I’m enjoying most is the option to add additional discounted goodies to my order, like…

Cold, rainy winter days got you feeling a bit blue? Missing warmer weather and backyard bbqs? I know I am! To combat the chilly, winter wind whipping relentlessly around my hilly neighborhood the past few days, I decided a quick ode to the beloved summer picnic was overdue and kept this baked bbq tofu dish…
Instant Pot Dal
Admittedly, I am an unapologetic Texas-born carnivore. If I don’t have a double protein meal by 10am every morning, then you might wanna avoid me. My favorite snack? Yup, Amish turkey jerky. At the in-laws one holiday weekend, I shook the very foundation of the honorary Mackey dinner table when I skipped my baked potato…
Bruschetta Spaghetti

Szechuan Swiss Chard Stir Fry with Crispy Tofu
I absolutely love spicy food and this dish can really pack a fiery mouthful of umami deliciousness. Capsaicin has a myriad of health benefits so add as much, or as little, as you desire.
