Bitches Be Hungry: Spicy Chicken Lettuce Wraps.

Bitches Be Hungry: Spicy Chicken Lettuce Wraps.

HEAAAAALLLLLLTHYYYYYY EAAAATTTTINNNNG!

Wowie guys, I feel different after eating kind better for like 3 weeks.

Like, I had a hot dog the other day and felt *so sick*.

So that’s a good sign that my body is hating super processed food, right?

One of those “Eat This, Not That” meals that are actually kind of good are lettuce wraps.

    I loved these that I made last week so much, I just had to…

Bitches Be Hungry: Grilled Mediterranean Chicken with Wild Rice.

Bitches Be Hungry: Grilled Mediterranean Chicken with Wild Rice.

As some of you guys saw on Instagram,  I am trying to eat better. I have been on the Mediterranean diet for about…7-ish days? And so far so good.

I’ve talked about my dislike for most Mediterranean food, but that was me not knowing the full scope of Mediterranean cuisine.

I always thought of it as Greek food, which I wasn’t a huge fan of. Turns out, there are so many choices!

Mediterranean…

Happy National Chicken Wing Day!

I gave myself a cheat day to celebrate my favorite national holiday.

Instead of giving you plain, fried chicken, I want to give you guys something ~jazzy~.

I made Honey Lime chicken wings. The combination of tangy lime with sweet honey taste A M A Z I N G with crispy chicken.

1/3 cup of lime juice 3 tablespoons of honey 2 tablespoons of…

Bitches Be Sippin’: Three Ingredient Peach Sangria.

Happy 8th of July!

  I hope everyone enjoyed their lonnnggg weekend; here in Detroit it was a consistent 90+ degrees outside so my weekend was HOT to say the least.

For the first time ever, I have an actual backyard where I can grill all summer long.

I had my first teeny tiny BBQ on the 4th of July where I made burgers & hot dogs (Typical holiday fare).

  But I was super excited for the drink…

Bitches Be Hungry: Chicken Marsala.

Bitches Be Hungry: Chicken Marsala.

We talk about comfort food a lot on SnaxNTheCity.com.

I think comfort food should take you back to a happy place, and it doesn’t always have to be something heavy like a baked potato or pot pie.

I’ve been thinking about one of my favorite dinners my mom made growing up for me. My mom worked 2nd shift when I was a kid, so I loved any time I got to sit at the table with her to eat one of her…

Almost Take Out: Peanut Coconut Grilled Chicken with Miso Ginger Rice.

Almost Take Out: Peanut Coconut Grilled Chicken with Miso Ginger Rice.

I like to treat myself to takeout on the weekends since I cook mostly ever day during the week.

So on Friday after  swiping, swiping, swiping on Postmates, Door Dash, and Uber Eats, I was annoyed.

Pizza sounded boring, kinda sick of pasta, and fried fish wasn’t interesting either.

But then I remembered I bought something kind of amazing from Whole Foods the other day.

Their Peanut Coconut sauce…

Bitches Be Hungry: Spicy Italian Sausage Meatballs.

Hello, it’s ya girl, the Queen of Meatballs.

Seriously, I make some of the best meat to ever ball.

I  would like to credit my sorta-fake Italian mother, because she makes super delicious meatballs, and I inherited the meatball making skills from her.

I tweaked my mom’s classic recipe a little by adding spicy Italian sausage and a burrata topping.

It feels kinda special and fancy; even when I…

Easy Spring Pasta: Cavatelli With Artichokes, Cherry Tomatoes & Shrimp.

It’s finally warm(ish!) outside.

It’s officially time to retire all the heavy, read wine pastas, and bring out all of the white wine pastas! Seriously though, I wanted to bring you a lighter pasta dish to kick off the good weather.

I was inspired by a recipe that of my favorite blogs P.S. I Made This posted on their Instagram story Monday. I swapped kale out for arugula, and roasted my cherry…

Bitches Be Hungry: Creamy Lemony Chicken Pasta.

Ya’ll know how men on Twitter complain about being “Alfredo’d to death”?

Aka their girlfriends make chicken/shrimp/Cajun Alfredo Pasta so much, that they’re sick of it.

I “Lemon Chicken” my boyfriend to death. While I can make SO MANY DIFFERENT things, there’s something abut lemon chicken that I just love.

I could eat it at least twice a week & not get sick of it.

After taking a (way too long)…

Bitches Be Hungry: Saucy Asian Meatballs!

Lately, I’ve been craving meat (hi, possible iron deficiency?), and I thought that I absolutely need some spicy, hearty meatballs!

The pork is flavored with chili limes, soy, and ginger, and served with a sriracha-hoisin dipping sauce.

  Yummy!

Bitches Be Hungry: Salt & Vinegar Potatoes.

Bitches Be Hungry: Salt & Vinegar Potatoes.

Lil baby Potatoes are some of my favorite things in the world.

There’s never a time/place/reason/or season where I think it’s inappropriate to pile them on your plate.

And while it’s typically go cheesy, I decided to give them a whole new life by making them taste like potato chips.

  These salt & vinegar crispy potatoes were super easy to make & took less than 30 minutes.

  And since I got so…
