Weekend Update
This weekend was so relaxing! On Friday, I decided not to cook; instead, we went out for a prix fixe dinner. We normally love this restaurant, but the vibes were off on Friday, which was disappointing. It ended up being really expensive, took nearly 3 hours, and the food was just off. Have you ever tried to go out to eat to save yourself the trouble of cooking, only to wish youād just stayed home and made dinner? Thatās how it felt. It was still fun to get dressed up for a date night, but I wish the restaurant lived up to their usually good record. Oh well!
This weekend, I also made my chicken and black bean chili (recipe linked below), and I got to spend time with my neighborās adorable fur-babies, Vinny and Priscilla, while she got engaged in New York City! Today, I made my air-fried Buffalo chicken tenders for the Buffalo Bills game, which Iām watching as I type this newsletter (recipe linked below)!
Thatās about it for this weekend. Next week, I only have to work 3 days before Iām off until January! Woot woot!
Letās dig into the new recipes!
NEW RECIPES
Cheesy Veggie Pasta
Iāve made this several times because I just canāt get enough of it! It started as a recipe to use up my scrappy little odds and ends of pasta, so Iāve made it with a random mix of pastas in addition to just elbows. Itās cheesy, easy, and soooooo delicious. It would pair perfectly with my baked sun-dried tomato chicken (linked below)!
Chicken and Black Bean Chili
This chicken and black bean chili is so perfect for a cold night and easy to throw together! Itās especially delicious with freshly grated pepperjack cheese. Yum!
READER FAVES

Beer-Battered Fish Tacos
Thank you so much! The lingering odor of deep-fried cod is a small price to pay for delicious tacos! ;) Iām thrilled you love these as much as I do!
Spicy Cilantro-Lime Potatoes
Thank you, Holly! Add these spicy cilantro-lime potatoes to your taco night rotation if you need a side to accompany your fish tacos!

I just finished eating these, and Iām tempted to sneak a few more from the fridge! Theyāre so good and so easy to make, especially in the air fryer! Yum!!

Whatās not to love about pasta and spicy sausage? Itās a match made in heaven!
