Creative Cooking With A Foodie Flair
I’ve made a decision. Two decisions. Well, three. 1) For the rest of my life I’m going to douse everything I eat in coconut milk. 2) For the rest of my life I’m going to garnish everything I eat with coconut shavings. 3) For the rest of my life I’m going to avoid clothes shopping [...]
Sometimes I just don’t have words. OH DON’T GIVE ME THAT LOOK. But really, sometimes there’s just nothing to say. I could try to tell how you much this polenta bruschetta rocks bawls. But you can look at that silky spinach pesto and little baby cherry tomato slices and seared plump shrimp and you know. [...]
Sweet. Tangy. Pungent. Fresh. Surprising. Crispy. Tender. Choice. Delightful. Yummy. But I’m not here to talk about my electric personality, OHHHHH. Snap? Oh. This pizza idea was birthed in my brain after spotting a lone peanut on the kitchen counter one afternoon last week. I have no idea where it came from or how it [...]
It’s Meatless Monday! Actually, I don’t even know what that is. Is it like a camp? Are there sign-up forms? Do we wear neon pink Umbro shorts with oversized No Fear t-shirts tucked into them? Because I still have mine. Although, mine say “His-Bro” because it was church camp. Yep. I gotta say though, I [...]
Don’t you find making risotto so therapeutic? The saute of the onions, the toasting of the rice, the sizzle of the wine burning off, the pouring yourself a glass, the first ladle of the broth simmering in the absorbent-eager rice, the pouring yourself a second glass and noticing a tiny wrinkle on your neck .

It’s a double feature today, folks! Step right up! We got goat cheese. We got herbs. We got lox and endive and chicken. We got mushrooms. We got soup. We got foil and ‘sparagus and lickin’. It’s like MY EVERY OWN CARNIVAL IN MY MIND. Wait a minute, this is all wrong. If I’m the [...]
That’s RIGHT I did, yo. Okay seriously – “yo?” I swear, if there was a Nerd Jar on this internet blog website, I’d be BROKE AS A JOKE. <— see? help me. The true fact deal is, I haven’t been able to get the pizza version of these out of my head. Wait, are these [...]
It started off so innocently. It was a muggy Saturday evening and we’d spent all afternoon spreading one hundred thousand bags of black mulch all over the garden beds. Covered in wood chips, we wearily stumbled into the house to collapse on the sofa, pour 35 glasses of wine and fist bump over the success [...]
“She’s going out to eat some lentils. Who’s that girl, it’s Bev!”(lyrics have been changed to protect the innocent) Ugh. I can’t get it out of my head. See, I started watching New Girl from the beginning again because there are a bunch of episodes in the middle that I missed and I’m trying to [...]
Once upon a time there was a girl. And she had long beautiful locks of blonde hair. She was tan and toned and her clothes fit her like smooth peanut butter coating a ripe apple. And then there was this other girl named Bev. And she had this really orange kitchen. And it was just [...]
