Creamy shells never did hurt nobody, right? Hopefully caterpillars don’t either, becauuuuuse I’m pretty sure I ate about 217 of them. But let me back up a little bit. Monday afternoon we made it home from Arkansas, and I felt like absolute hammered earwax. Wiped out past the point of no return, so I let [...]

Roasted Radish Flatbread with Ricotta and Honey
I just discovered my new favorite lunch of all time. Or breakfast if you put a fried egg on top! Orrrr dinner if you add some thinly sliced steak on top! Orrrrrrrr dessert if you put a scoop of chocolate fudge ice cream on top! Oh I’m just kidding, you guyyyyzzzzz. There would be at [...]

Roasted Vegetable and Quinoa Salad
Disclaimer alert: This dish is obnoxiously healthy. Proceed at your own risk. I’ve been known to be somewhat of a disclaimer queen in my day. “These dusty baseboards are not my fault! It’s like the freaking Dust Bowl part 2 out there.” “I tried to vacuum Charlie’s hair off those pillows but homegirl just gets [...]

Roasted Ratatouille Toasts
I have some slightly bodacious news. No, no. I did wash my hair this weekend, but that’s not it. I don’t want to give anything away just yet, but I’ll tell you what it rhymes with. This is so exciting. Okay here goes: Lime mowing shoe fly Smev Rooks slrizeo priss Cliway. Gosh, you guys. [...]

Roasted Curried Cauliflower and Chickpeas with Grains
Is it too late to declare this “GRAIN WEEK FOR THE SOUL?” How ’bout for the pancreas? Just kidding. I just realized with Sylvia on Monday and the quinoa biz yesterday and now THIS? All these mofo grainz, boyyyyy. By the time Friday gets here though I’ll have to call it “OPPOSITE OF GRAIN WEEK [...]

Buffalo Cauliflower with a Yogurt Dipping Sauce
I can hardly contain myself right now. Would you mind if I told you why? WAIT WAS THAT A GROAN? First of all, remember when I told you all the liquid in my ear sacks spilled out onto the floor and I was dizzy and discombobulated and without a single trace of hope? WELL, they’ve [...]

Chili-Roasted Vegetable Salad
IT’S THE MOST, WONDERFUL TIIIIME OF THE YEAAAAAAR. Freaking Christmas has taken over, you guys. Taken. Over. It’s in my eyes, ears, nose, hair follicles, skin pores, eyelashes, under my fingernails. It’s like, bad. I basically need to be punched. WITH THE KIDS JINGLE BELLING AND EVERYONE TELLING YOU BE OF GOOD CHEEEEEER. Hey, [...]

Seared Shrimp Vindaloo with Vegetables
Okay so the only real thing vindaloo-y about this meal is the actual seasoning, but I’m a’ight with that. I like to think of this dish as my wingman. And it’s wearing some awesome Ray-Bans. Here we are, on the brink of what is about to be the barn door of belly poochapalooza. And I’m [...]

Maple-Orange Sweet Potato Mash & Slow Cooker Creamed Corn
Let’s face it. You totally have your Thanksgiving meal all planned out. Signed, sealed, delivered. Hook, line and sinker. (wait, what?) Rollin’ with the homies. (what does that . . . what?) Skip to my Lou. (I’m sorry, who’s Lou?) Cuz I’m bad. (no, no you’re not.) Buuuut just in case you don’t, and your [...]

Brussels Sprouts Salad with Seared Shrimp and Bacon
I’ve got some good news for you. But first, I don’t know how this happened, or when or why or where, given the 723 tubes of Burt’s Bees lip balm littering my house and life, but somehow over the last 12 to 24 hours my lips have become ever so slightly chapped, shifting into that [...]
