Sushi Burrito Bowls
Happy Monday, friends!
You can tell that I’m on the sushi train. I hadn’t had sushi for a reeeeeally long time, so when Mark and I decided to make our way to a sushi restaurant by us a couple of weeks ago for dinner, I was beyond thrilled. Since it was a Sunday, they were running a special: all sushi was $1.50 – $3.50 per roll.
Needless to say, we were stoked. Saving some money on an otherwise pretty dang expensive dinner date? The best.
So, of course, we went all-out. Mark and I ended up two different rolls each so we could take some home for later. Because, let’s be serious, late night sushi is never a bad idea.Read More

Guys, the struggle is real. I don’t know what it is about winter, but something about it just makes me want to curl up in a ball go to sleep.
So while I’m usually super excited to jump into the kitchen to whip up a delicious meal after a long day at work, lately I’ve been a huuuuge fan of quick and easy meals.

Lentil Pecan Taco Meat
When I was younger, taco salads were on the menu nearly every week. And nearly every week, I looked forward to diving into my carefully crafted, custom taco salad masterpiece.
A mountain of spicy ground beef, an avalanche of shredded cheese, and a pile of creamy guacamole…I think it’s clear why taco salad night in the Peduzzi household was pure heaven.
Summer Fruit and Candied Pecan Salad
I’m a huge sucker for traditions.
One of my favorite family traditions is putting up the Christmas tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Whilst listening to Christmas tunes and watching The Grinch that night. We do this every year. Religiously. Come hell or high water.
One year, however, I made plans with a friend to go Christmas shopping. My dad needed to utter but four words to make me instantly cancel these plans in favor of a garland and ornament-filled day: “But it’s a tradition…”Read More
Stupid Awesome Saturday (#15) – A Salad Recipe Roundup
Haaaaaaaaaaay, everyone!
I hope you’re having a fab week. I had tacos last night, so that automatically makes this one of the best weeks ever.
I want to let you in on a not-so-secret secret: Mark is pretty much a genius. He thought up this INCREDIBLE summer salad last week. It required a few simple ingredients, but it utilized some of the best texture, flavor, and color combinations I could ever imagine in a salad. We bought the ingredients. We prepped the ingredients. We threw the salads together. We had a picnic on the floor in our apartment. And it was amazing.
Keep your eyes peeled: you shall be seeing “Mark’s Salad” this week. ;)
Until then, allow me to tempt you with some ridiculously fabulous salads in this summer salad recipe roundup! I don’t know about you, but I adore salads. They’re simple, they’re full of healthy ingredients, and they’re so much fun to customize and build!

Beet Carpaccio
Like one of my favorite bloggers once said, “Pretty food tastes better.” Well…most of the time.
I was out for a professional lunch and one of my fellow young professionals decided to order beef carpaccio, a raw beef dish, as his entree. Pretty fancy for our age group, but I respected his gumption. The dish came sliced ultra thin, laying on a circular plate, looking like something Pollick might have whipped up in the back. While beautiful, the sight definitely turned my stomach.Read More
