On Sunday before the Super Bowl, Travis and I our favorite Grilled Skirt Steak recipe. We love this chili steak marinade SO much. I’ve tried so many steak marinades, and this one is by far my favorite. To call it a marinade isn’t really accurate – it’s more like a rub that contains a small amount…

Korean Rice Bowl with Steak and Snap Peas

Korean Rice Bowl with Steak and Snap Peas

Friends often ask me how I dedicate so much time to cooking “elaborate” dinners every night. I’m 22, young, new in my career, and in their minds it just doesn’t make sense that I devote an hour + every night to making dinner. I always explain that it is my “thing.” It is what I…

.
So it should be no surprise that I love to keep my kitchen nice and tidy - especially since I’m cooking in it EVERY day!🍽🥣
.
Today on the blog I’m sharing how I keep my kitchen tidy AND some of my favorite kitchen organization products.🗑🗳📚
.
If you need some order in your life or if you live in a small space and are looking for some storage ideas, check out this post! The link is in my bio.

  • Happy Valentine's Day!❤️
This healthier Cherry Cobbler for Two is perfect for dessert tonight. The best part? You probably have most of the ingredients already! #ad
.
All I needed was the cherries, and since they're not in season right now, @sealtheseasons frozen cherries were perfect for this recipe. I LOVE that these cherries are from local New York farms. 👨🏽‍🌾👩🏼‍🌾
.
@sealtheseasons works with local farmers in the United States to freeze their produce and make it available to consumers all year long. I always have frozen fruit on hand because it can be used in SO MANY ways! 🍒
.
You can find @sealtheseasons at @wholefoods, @shopritestores and coming soon to select NYC stores! 🛍🛒
.
Recipe: Healthier Cherry Cobbler for Two🍒
.
- Filling Ingredients -
1 cup @sealtheseasons frozen cherries, thawed slightly
1/8 cup coconut or brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
Pinch lemon zest
Pinch salt
.
- Topping Ingredients -
1/8 cup oats + 2 Tablespoons, divided
2 Tablespoons whole wheat flour
1 Tablespoon coconut or brown sugar
Pinch salt
1.5 Tablespoons chilled unsalted butter
.
- Instructions -
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In a small oven-safe ramekin, combine the filling ingredients. Set aside.
3. In a mini food processor, pulse together 1/8 cup oats and the rest of the topping ingredients for about 5 seconds. Stir in the remaining 2 Tablespoons of oats and pinch the topping together with fingers for 30 seconds. If it still feels dry and loose, then add a bit more butter.
4. Sprinkle the topping over the cherry mixture. Bake for 30 minutes, until the cherries are bubbling and the topping is light brown and crisp. Cool the ramekin on a wire rack for 10 minutes and serve warm with vanilla ice cream (optional).

  • Making my Weeknight Sesame Chicken Stir Fry for dinner tonight and so pumped! Haven’t made it since I posted the recipe to the blog in November, so it’s been WAY too long!
.
Those of you who have tried it have given the recipe rave reviews and I LOVE hearing that!
.
TWO reasons why I love this recipe:
- It is ready in 25 min!
- I use ground chicken (or turkey) so no chopping up raw chicken required! Saves you time and well, raw chicken is just bleh!
