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. Or as I like to call it: Inspiration Station. Don’t have a ticket? That’s [...]
Slow Cooker Beef Saag
Nooooot my most attractive meal to date. Ohhhhhhh ho ho ho, man. I can only seriously hope and pray and wish that you’ve either seen or eat or witnessed someone else eat saag in an Indian restaurant before and that you know what it looks like, and that you’ve not already gotten sick to your [...]
7 Layer Dip Pizza Cups
What’s up with all my trans-criss-cross-universalized-worldwide-and-the-third-dimension food the last couple of days? Enchilada lasagna and NOW THIS? Who do I think I am?! You can keep your thoughts to yourself on that one. So what we have here is a sure-fire way to show your mouth a good time. So much fun in fact, it’s [...]
Spicy Beef and Basil with Vermicelli Noodles
Oh hey guess what! It’s only 1,462 degrees here in Kansas City. And my hair has never looked more stunning. I used to be SUCH a summer-lovin’ gal, back in my ripe years. I lived in New Mexico, rode my faded red Schwinn at like TWO O’CLOCK in the stale, breeze-less July afternoons, with no [...]
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! Even if it takes you some time to remember me and the actual food I post on this blog, I won’t [...]
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, [...]
