Sometimes when I’m cooking and the food is in the pan or skillet or pot or whatever and it looks so lovely, all simmering with merriment and mirth, and then I transfer the food to a bowl or plate to serve, and somehow it transforms from a thing of beauty and wonder to a pile [...]

Slow Cooker Chipotle Steak Quesadillas

I gave you my Valentine’s Day food yesterday so that today I could give you these. I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen. (name that movie) I’ve always wondered exactly what kind of pen she gave him. Because I like pens! I would have been excited about the pen. This is, [...]

Homemade Pub-Style Beef Burgers

How about a burger? But wait. I don’t think y’awnderstaaaaand the situaaation. (said like Bill Cosby) It all started one Saturday morning last fall as I was meticulously planning the weekend with Pinterest in my lap and PBS on the TVs.

Spicy Beef and Basil with Vermicelli Noodles

Spinach/Artichoke Mac ‘N Cheese Cups and Grilled Bourbon Bacon Burgers

I’m baaaaack. And I no longer look like Hurricane Insano struck me 4 hundred billion times. I got SO much sleep last night I’m still kind of freaking out about it. I tried to sleep on the plane yesterday morning, but this old man with an eagle slash wolf bandana covering part of his gray [...]

Spicy Barbacoa Soft Tacos

Chipotle has ruined my life. It has ruined it so good because it is pretty much all I live for. I said PRETTY MUCH. The other day I’d spent an excruciating afternoon trying on new clothes so that I don’t look like an orphan at BlogHer Food in a couple of weeks. I gave the [...]

Beef Bolognese with Bucatini Pasta

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!

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!
