Baked and Smothered Chipotle Chicken and Kale Chimichangas

I think we need to get smothered on this here Good Frideeeee. It’s hard to see with the naked eye, but this is actually super duper crazy freaky healthy! Okay, minus the 45 pounds of cheese dip on top, and the enormous tortilla the size of a rhinoceros torso. But underneath that crispy, golden-brown carbo-mama [...]

Breakfast Taco Cups

Do you remember the movie Somewhere in Time? With Christopher Reeve, Christopher Plummer and Jane Seymour? I hadn’t seen it since, hmmm, I’m guessing the ’80s probably, and I watched it again while making these breakfast taco cups last weekend, and I can’t stop thinking about it. The movie, not the taco cups. Oh I’m [...]

Colcannon and Slow Cooker Corned Beef

Kiss me, I’m  . . . hyper? Wait, that’s not it. Actually, my maiden name is Blann. Might as well be O’Blann, right? O’Blann of the Thistle and Shamrock. O’Blann and the Four-Leaf Clovers (that would be my band). O’Blann’s dancin’ her fifth jig out there, lassie! Top of the morning to her face! So [...]

Gnocchi with Sausage and Kale

It’s snow day #2 around herrr! Which doesn’t really change much for me and my normal routine, other than the addition of nauseated gripes from my husband’s “work station” at the kitchen table as he witnesses me Huluing missed episodes of The Carrie Diaries and The Mindy Project. It’s like, look chachi, no one asked [...]

Portobello Mushrooms with Kale Pesto Guacamole

These here mushroom thingies are the new black. The new black, along with lots of bright greens, pops of white and earthy browns. So I guess you can erase what I just said. But not really because I wasn’t meaning it literally, even though two sentences ago made it sound like I was. So I [...]

Portobello Mushroom and Kale Stroganoff

Stroganoff? It’s more like stroganON my face. That worked only in my head, didn’t it? Fiiiiirst of aaaaall, Parenthood. Who else calls complete wonk-a-lonk that next week is the LAST episode? I just read that this season was an “abbreviated” season with only 15 episodes. Well you know what, they can abbreviate my fist in [...]

Seared Chicken Cutlets with a Pomegranate Sauce

Ow me lawd. Okay I need a cleanse. I’m done with the holidays. I’m rusting over. I’m corroding in my veins. I’m eroding in my lymph nodes. I’m oxidizing. I’m fossilizing. I’m homogenizing. And you’re grossed out right now. I forget just how much of an old lady I am, drinking my little tea and [...]

Spaghetti with Kale and Lemon

Oh weird I wonder how this pasta post ended up on my website. Weird. I started the week with pasta and I’m ending it with pasta. BOOK ENDING. I like the way this feels. It’s like watching a man mow his front lawn and noticing that he keeps missing this one itty bitty tiny little [...]
