One Pan Cheesy Sausage Pasta

June 11, 2021

Last week I raved about my Game Changing GreenPans, so I figured the timing was just right to share a recipe that I make in mine! Despite having a cheesy sauce that would stick to other pans, it literally slides right out of this one! Have you bought yourself one yet?? My one pan cheesy sausage pasta comes together in…

Herbed Focaccia

May 14, 2021

There’s something about spring that makes me go into baking overdrive. It might be me trying to use our oven as much as possible before it gets unbearably hot in our apartment, or it might be the thrill of using fresh fruits and herbs. Whatever it is, I will admit that it can get out of control 😉 I typically…

Breakfast Casserole

April 6, 2021

I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a lover of casseroles in general, but when they’re of the breakfast variety, you can definitely count me in! This breakfast casserole is perfect for a variety of occasions. It’s a crowd-pleaser at brunchy potlucks. It’s a great make-ahead breakfast to portion out and microwave for busy weekday mornings. But my favorite time to eat…

Parmesan Roasted Brussels Sprouts

March 23, 2021

Since we indulged in my favorite Animal Style Fries recipe last week, I figured I should share something a bit healthier this week! For the longest time, green beans were our go-to veggie side dish. And don’t get me wrong, we still eat our fair share of green beans, but once Brussels sprouts entered our rotation, they quickly became a…

Lemony Couscous

March 9, 2021

I mentioned that Israeli couscous was one of my favorite Trader Joe’s food finds in the month of December, and several of you caught on to me teasing a yummy lemon couscous recipe. Well, the wait is over! Before the year 2020, I’d probably only ever had couscous two times in my entire life. Then, one of our sweet friends…

Potato Leek Soup

March 2, 2021

We don’t tend to be huge soup eaters in the Peiffer household, probably because it never feels cold enough in Santa Barbara for it. But, when we do commit to the soup route, we are definitely team thick and hearty! Potato leek soup checks both the thick and hearty boxes, without tons of heavy cream or added fat. It’s also…

Sweet & Savory Salmon

February 23, 2021

Meal preparation in the Peiffer household usually looks something like this: Cook a large (sometimes complicated) meal on Sunday evening. Eat leftovers for at least 3 nights. Try to make it through the rest of the week with quick and easy meals that can be thrown together after work without too much hassle. Obviously, we try to incorporate variety where…

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

February 16, 2021

Am I the only one who buys bananas purely for the sake of letting them over-ripen on my kitchen counter? As the brown spots appear, so do the baking possibilities! Nope? Just me? Oh, well! I love a portable baked good that’s suitable for breakfast, snack, or dessert. These muffins are a spin on the banana bread my mom used…
