We need a muffin, n’est-ce pas? I think so too. I also think we need another poem. WAIT DON’T GO YET. Given the enormity of today’s events in our country, I feel a Herculean tug to share with you something that’s been weighing on my heart. Something that keeps me from sleeping. From relaxing. From [...]

Bulgur Salad with Spinach, Pine Nuts and Asparagus
Hearty summer grain salads are ALL THE RAGE RIGHT NOW. Could you tell I was using my best car salesman voice? Actually they would say, “GIT YER BULGUR SALAD BEFORE IT’S GONE GONE GONE.” Why do car sales people repeat words? “I’m sorry honey, I know we were in the middle of fertilizing the flower [...]
Endive Boats and a Quick Chicken Dinner
It’s a double feature today, folks! Step right up! We got goat cheese. We got herbs. We got lox and endive and chicken. We got mushrooms. We got soup. We got foil and ‘sparagus and lickin’. It’s like MY EVERY OWN CARNIVAL IN MY MIND. Wait a minute, this is all wrong. If I’m the [...]
Roast Beef, Roasted Red Pepper and Goat Cheese Panini
Whoa there, beefy mcbeeferpants! I didn’t mean to post two beef-a-roo (or is it beef-a-MOO? OHHHHH) recipes two days in a row. Maybe I’m low on iron? Maybe a message was subliminally sent to me in cloud formation from the sky? Maybe I’m still sad that Elise got sent home on American Idol but relieved [...]
Super Fresh Spring Salad
I gotsta one more salad fer ya! This one is super fresh, super vegetarian, super pretty and super FRESH. Like the fresh prince of Bel Air. THEY JUST DON’T MAKE TV LIKE THAT ANYMORE. I’m keeping this short because the cabinet guy is here finishing the SUPER FRESH trim on the cabinets. And he’s installing [...]
Vegetarian Football Pizzas
Some things in life just aren’t in my control. Things like death and taxes. Things like natural disasters, plagues and famine. Things like accidentally finding myself at Pryde’s foaming at the mouth over a football-shaped cookie cutter so that I can make ridiculous football pizzas in order to feel festive in my little life. Out [...]
Spinach, Mushroom and Red Bell Pepper Frittata, and the Pioneer Woman
As everyone in the food world knows, the contagiously hilarious food blogger Ree Drummond, aka the Pioneer Woman had her premier cooking show Saturday morning on the Food Network. And as expected, kajillions of groups of people in the food world gathered to watch her family come to life before our eyes, letting us into [...]
Saffron Bulgur with Summery Vegetables
Recently I discovered a most beautiful food blog on the interwebers. The kind of blog that makes you gasp at the crisp photos, salivate at the colorful food, and leaves you wondering why they haven’t invited you over for dinner every single night….ever. While perusing their site for inspiration for my own cooking, I fell [...]
I Got Beet Up You Guys!
A few thoughts bouncing around in my brain hole today: * I really love Sophie B. Hawkins. * I really miss 90210. * I really hate bumble bees. * Why are they so BIG? * Why is the entire population of eastern Kansas pollinating my lil’ ole garden? * Speaking of my garden, YOWZA, it’s [...]
Summer Eats = Plums
Plums remind me of summer. Specifically, when I was a kiddo and visiting my grandparents in south Arkansas. They always seemed to have plums for some reason. They also had an old white truck that my sister and I would BEG to take rides in through the countryside. We’d ride in the open back bed, [...]
