I’m on the verge of spontaneous combustion right now. Why yes, I can predict and plan my own spontaneity. That’s one of the perks of being a sanguine Leo/Virgo cusp monster. Of course there are other perks, such as eyes in the back of my head (fine, they’re cross-eyed) and ninja-like shredding paper skills, but [...]

Creamy Potato Soup with Bacon and Basil
Since the stupid stubborn snow refuses to melt, me thinks the clear solution is creamy potato soup. Look, I don’t want to get all annoyingly weather-obsessed on ya, but I’ve taken a peepsie into the long ranger forecast and me thinks we’re bound for some serious melting. Me also thinks that it’s probably the grossest [...]
Sautéed Potatoes and Leeks with Bacon and Parmesan
It’s Friday story time! Oh don’t act like this is the worst thing that’s ever happened to your life. So a few weeks ago I was beboppin’ around on the netz, when all of the sudden I got an email from an old friend whom I’ve known for about 8 years I think. Did I [...]
Slow Cooker Baked Potato Casserole
Mmmmmmyyyyokay. It looks like we’re going to make it. It looks like we’re going to pull through. I’d say about 8 feet of the snow melted yesterday, along with my anxiety. Yay! We’re headed back to Fayetteville today because GUESS WHAT. Okay, you might not know this about me, but somewhere in my youth (name [...]
Chicken Burrito Bowls with Bacon Guacamole and Scallion Pesto
Oh, dudes. Is it okay if I call you dude? I know I’m almost 70 years old and it’s not exactly age appropriate, but the cyclone of my heart pump leads me down a path of juvenility unstoppable to even myself. I wish I could Brady-Bunch-opening-credit myself into the center of these photos and [...]
Open-Faced Salmon BLTs
Sometimes I wish it was 1955. But for like, just a week. Do you ever wish you could go back to a specific era of your life and relive it? But not actually relive it, but instead sort of hover over yourself like a little friendly ghost from the future? Oh man I totally do. [...]
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 [...]
Corn Muffins with Bacon and Parmesan
I will not say cornhole. I will not say cornhole. I will not say cornhole. Oh hi! Look who’s been getting her little bake on, eeeeh, eeeeeh? Speaking OF, this weekend I have major major major plans to attempt something that ends with cake and begins with pound and has the word chocolate and maybe [...]
Loaded Italian Chicken Sub Sandwiches
I heard a weather report not long ago that offered some pretty strong advice for how to handle these insane drought conditions. I did. Yeah, the guy basically said the only solution right now for this national crisis is massive consumption of loaded Italian chicken sub sandwiches. But he laid it out very simply, so [...]
Smoky Corn Chowder with Shrimp
I don’t wanna beg, buuuuut… Meet your new summer lover. His name is Chowder. Or, Chow-duh if you like to LIVE ON THE EDGE. He’s gentle, tender, smokin’ hot, probably has a mustache and I’m weirding even myself out right now. So, my M-I-L visited last weekend and brought with her what some would call [...]
