ABOUT ME

Hi. I’m Amanda. I love food, cooking, sharing it with others and documenting it. I’m a little of this and little of that-taste while you go type of cook.  I found a true passion over the years when I really began to understand how deeply connected food and love are.

I love good food.

Pre-made margarita mix? Couldn’t be me. 🙅‍♀️ This Passionfruit Margarita is all real fruit puree, fresh lime, and agave—aka it actually tastes like fruit instead of liquid Skittles. Bright, tropical, and just floral enough to trick you into thinking your backyard is a beach. Sip it now, thank me later. 🍹✨

Never thought I’d be the person writing a tater Never thought I’d be the person writing a tater tot casserole recipe, and yet… here we are. 🙃 I’ve never been much of a casserole person—something about the whole “dump a bunch of things in a dish and bake it” approach never really spoke to me. But then, I went to @guesthousetavernoyster in West Des Moines, IA, and had a version of this that was so absurdly good, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. 

Forget the cream-of-whatever soups and sad ground beef—this version goes full send: beef braised until it basically collapses into a rich, glossy sauce, smoky cheddar + parm layered on top, and a blanket of crispy tots that stay golden and crunchy. It’s comfort food, but with actual effort behind it. Big enough to feed a crowd (or fuel your leftover game all week). Who’s grabbing a fork first? 🥄🔥

Golden, crispy, salty — this focaccia is everyth Golden, crispy, salty — this focaccia is everything. Fresh from the oven, it’s got that perfect crust, pillowy interior, and enough flavor to steal the show. Who wants a slice (or three)?

Hey soup lovers 🥄 — this one’s for you! Ful Hey soup lovers 🥄 — this one’s for you! Fully loaded: smoky sausage, hearty kale, cheesy tortellini, all swimming in a creamy broth that feels like a hug in a bowl. 🍲✨ Easy to make, impossible not to cozy up to. Who’s in for seconds?

There are few things in this world more satisfying There are few things in this world more satisfying than a perfectly crispy, cheesy, saucy Chicken Parmesan. But let’s be honest—most Chicken Parm out there is a sad, soggy mess. The crispy breading turns to mush under a blanket of sauce, the chicken is either dry or rubbery, and the whole thing is just… fine (like pizza, even a bad chicken Parm is still pretty good). And if I’m making Chicken Parmesan, I don’t want fine—I want the best. 

So, I went on a mission to create the ultimate Chicken Parm recipe: crispy and golden on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside, with a cheesy, saucy topping that enhances instead of destroys all that hard-earned crispiness. Spoiler alert: It’s a bit fussy. But I promise you, it’s worth it.

If you think salads are boring, this one will chan If you think salads are boring, this one will change your mind. Bursting with juicy citrus, creamy burrata, and a smoky-sweet caramelized grapefruit dressing, this dish is anything but predictable. It’s a vibrant mix of flavors and textures—peppery arugula, crisp fennel, crunchy pistachios, and tart pomegranate arils, all tied together with a sweet-and-tangy dressing.

The real game-changer here? Caramelizing the grapefruit. Searing the cut side with a little sugar intensifies its sweetness and tames the bitterness, adding a depth of flavor you didn’t know grapefruit had. It also makes your kitchen smell like you know what you’re doing, which is always a plus.

Tom Kha Gai is not your average chicken soup. To m Tom Kha Gai is not your average chicken soup. To me, this soup is just as at home as a summer meal as it is for a cold-weather one.

Coconut milk that’s creamy without being heavy, lemongrass + lime leaves that taste like sunshine, a little chili kick to wake up your taste buds. It’s bright, cozy, and way too easy to make at home. Basically: comfort food with a passport stamp.

If you think stuffed mushrooms are a relic of 1970 If you think stuffed mushrooms are a relic of 1970s dinner parties, let me introduce you to the glow-up you didn’t know you needed. These Manchego-Stuffed Mushrooms with Chorizo Breadcrumbs are rich, crispy, and dangerously poppable—so much so that you might accidentally eat an entire tray while “taste-testing.” (Not speaking from experience. Definitely not.)

They’re easy enough for a casual get-together but fancy enough to pretend you have your life together. Perfect for parties, holidays, or a Tuesday night when you need a snack that’s extra.

Get the full recipe on the blog! Link in bio.

This Roasted Cipollini Onion Torta with Pecorino F This Roasted Cipollini Onion Torta with Pecorino Fonduta is a showstopper that combines rich, caramelized cipollini onions with a buttery, Pecorino-infused crust and creamy fonduta made with Pecorino and Taleggio. Perfect for a special dinner or impressing guests, this dish is packed with layers of deep, savory flavors and satisfying textures. While it’s not quick or cheap, the effort is absolutely worth it—each bite is a melt-in-your-mouth experience of sweet onions, creamy cheese, and a flaky crust. Perfect for food lovers who appreciate the magic of slow-roasted onions and decadent, cheesy indulgence.
