Sweet Corn Pasta Salad with Lemon Basil Vinaigrette

It’s summer in a bowl. Seriously, though. This pasta salad has everything summery and delicious. Fresh sweet corn? Check. Vine-ripened cherry tomatoes? Check. Herby arugula? Check. Creamy avocado? CHECK! And it’s all finished with a fresh lemon basil vinaigrette. It’s light, refreshing, and perfect for a picnic. In fact, the first time I made thisContinue reading “Sweet Corn Pasta Salad with Lemon Basil Vinaigrette”

Healing Mango Coconut Baked Oatmeal Muffins

Hi there! Long time no see, am I right? It’s been a busy couple of weeks. I’ve been wedding planning, working 2 jobs, helping Noah move, and trying to reckon with everything happening in our country. Quite simply, it felt tone-deaf and insensitive to post anything on social media other than BLM content. While I’llContinue reading “Healing Mango Coconut Baked Oatmeal Muffins”

Gloria’s Favorite Chicken Pot Pie

This recipe comes with a story, but it’s a good one, so you’ll want to read until the end. A little while back, I hosted a Game of Thrones watch party with some friends in my tiny studio apartment. We had two kinds of popcorn, lemon bars, and plenty of wine. (My friends always bringContinue reading “Gloria’s Favorite Chicken Pot Pie”

Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake

Hands down, one of our best family recipes. You seriously can’t beat this one. Imagine the richest, darkest, most delicious chocolate cake. It’s so moist and chocolatey that you can taste the decadence. It has notes of coffee and just a little sea salt to intensify the chocolate flavor, plus lots and lots of cocoaContinue reading “Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake”

Mom’s Banana Bread

You simply cannot go wrong with banana bread. Especially if it’s your mom’s recipe! Actually, it’s my mom’s mom’s recipe. You know it’s a good old-fashioned recipe when one of the original ingredients is shortening. My mom always made it with butter instead, but you can bet my grandmother made it with some old-school shortening!Continue reading “Mom’s Banana Bread”

Baked Ranch Chicken Tenders with Honey Mustard Sauce

I have a confession to make. This recipe was not made on Amanda’s Tiny Table. Instead, it was made in Karen’s Kitchen! In case you don’t know me personally, Karen is my mom. With all of the COVID-19 craziness going on, I decided to leave Washington, D.C. and seek refuge at my parents’ house inContinue reading “Baked Ranch Chicken Tenders with Honey Mustard Sauce”

Thai Yellow Curry

Have you ever seen that show on Food Network called Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee? My personal favorite Food Network show will forever be the Barefoot Contessa with Ina Garten (She’s a GW alum!), but my mom and I would occasionally watch Sandra Lee. While Ina’s aesthetic was beautifully decorated tablescapes and afternoon picnics, SandraContinue reading “Thai Yellow Curry”

Orange Fig Scones

The recipe that started it all! I am proud to say that I’m known around the office as our designed scone baker. I brought some to work for my coworkers to try, and it was love at first bite. My Mom and I have always loved scones. They’re the perfect breakfast, snack, or dessert! ButContinue reading “Orange Fig Scones”
