I’m baaaaaaack! And full-fledged, so you better watch yo’self. You might not recognize me right off the bat, not seeing pictures of rusty nails, dry wall and grout paste or whatever. And that’s okay! Even if it takes you some time to remember me and the actual food I post on this blog, I won’t […]

Paprika Shrimp Over Creamy Egg Noodles
Yoooooou’re heeeere, there’s NOTHING I FEEEEAAAAR. That was the sound of my face at the end of Titanic (in 3D!) last night as the lights came up in the theater and tears bucketed from my eye sockets and my husband leapt from his seat and ran out of the room as fast as he could. […]
Penne Pasta in a Roasted Beet Sauce
Guess how incredibly lame we are! And by “we” I’m referring to myself and my husband, a pair of old, pathetic party animals who just can’t hang with these kids today. And by “hang” I mean stay up past 9:30pm. This is embarrassing. Get ready. So, okay. Today is our 7th wedding anniversary. (Thank […]
Biscuit Fish Tacos and Asparagus Pesto Pasta
Believe it. What your eyeballs are peeping right now is the absolute fist bumpin’ truth. Fish tacos wrapped. in. buttermilk. biscuits. Now, I can’t actually take credit for this 8th wonder of the world, as someone already doth created this masterful recipe for the annual Pillsbury Bake-Off. Well, the insanely popular event kicked off again […]
Orzo Risotto with Chicken and Spring Vegetables
SPAAAAAAAAAARIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING IS HEEAAAAHHHH. Well, sort of. Technically it’s next week. But if you could sit next to me and witness this deafening performance of A CHORUS LINE being put on by 37,000 robins on my back porch at 6am, you’d agree. Spring is up in this piece. I’ve never said “up in this piece” […]
Chicken Pot Pie Cupcakes and a Mexican Pasta Bake
Life is so weird. Yesterday it was 65 degrees and cloudy, so I went on a long run, fertilized the yards and admired our BLOOMING (??!) daffodils and crocuses. It poured poured poured rain over night, so I awoke to a slightly greener yard, a pale yellow glow from our forsythia and horrible bed head. […]
Linguine with Sardines and Spinach
First of all, thank you guys sooooo so much for your texts, tweets, comments, emails, and calls yesterday. I just can’t tell you how cared for that made me feel. I wish I could just scoop you all up and put you in my purse. But I’d try and space you out because I wouldn’t […]
Turkey Goulash
Well, I got one of those calls in the middle of the night that you never want to get. The kind that when you hear your phone ringing a room away at a haunted hour, you bolt straight up in bed, mind racing all over the place, fearing the absolute worst. That happened to me […]
Bucatini with Sausage in a Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
I just don’t think life would be rightly fair if bistro week didn’t include ohhhh let’s see, ANOTHER pasta dish. Ya know, I’m going to really miss bistro week. I’m starting to get used to my mustache. Okay so bucatini. Have you ever had it? It’s like a thick spaghetti with a hole down the […]
Steak With Pesto Gnocchi
So, as bistro week continues (the only real thing I learned about the meaning of “bistro” is that I need to grow a mustache for true authenticity. DONE. And gross.) we’re having steak and potatoes! By the way, bistro week did in fact start on Monday with Aaron’s pasta, and then on Tuesday with soup, […]
