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 […]
Sausage, Kale and Black-Eyed Peas Soup
Weeeeell would ya look at that. The world didn’t blow up! Oh wait that was 13 years ago. And then two weeks ago. And okay, pretty much every morning if we really want to babysit my neurosis. Alright let’s just get down to this. Are you big on tradition? And the ancient folklore of the […]
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 […]
Seared Shrimp Vindaloo with Vegetables
Okay so the only real thing vindaloo-y about this meal is the actual seasoning, but I’m a’ight with that. I like to think of this dish as my wingman. And it’s wearing some awesome Ray-Bans. Here we are, on the brink of what is about to be the barn door of belly poochapalooza. And I’m […]
Gemelli Pasta with Garden Greens and Pine Nuts
Whoa, Nelli Gemelli! (I know it’s really Nelly, but just go with me here.) Do you ever plan a meal based on a color you have in your head? Like a certain color palate? Or a little mental paint swatch? You’re shaking your head. Okay. A couple of weeks ago Jamie Oliver posted this shot […]
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 […]
Sesame Noodles with Wilted Garden Greens
Welcome to the very last episode of Why Didn’t I think of That, the chronicle of a wandering, rebellious gypsy through the vast, open terrain of her companions’ masterminds, with the hopes of finding herself and the strength to carry on just one more day. (do what now?) We’ve had so much fun this week! […]
