Oh oops there’s jumbo lump crab in this salad, oops. Sure it’s Friday and sure it’s always to fun to end the week with something super decadent and oozy and rich and slow-motion-in-front-of-a-fan worthy. Sure. But get this. We can totally do that with this crab and celery salad! Oh but we can! ALLOW ME [...]

Sautéed Potatoes and Leeks with Bacon and Parmesan
It’s Friday story time! Oh don’t act like this is the worst thing that’s ever happened to your life. So a few weeks ago I was beboppin’ around on the netz, when all of the sudden I got an email from an old friend whom I’ve known for about 8 years I think. Did I [...]

Lentil Salad with Roasted Red Peppers, Parsley and Almonds
The effect it had on me . . . It was like, my mind went completely numb. My throat closed in. My racing heart came to an abrupt halt, and then forgot how to beat for a good 20 seconds. My eyes froze, cried a tiny river, and then found their new happy place. My [...]

Sriracha Hot Toddy with Honey and Lemon
Ooooooookay. I think I’m about halfway caught up with Parenthood, and it’s official. I want them to adopt me. I don’t even care which family. All of them. Joint custody. Except, as much as I want to stick Crosby in my bra, when he smiles, duuuude it’s intense! How many teeth does that guy have? [...]

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 [...]

Lemon-Brown Sugar Chicken
Weeee’re back! With only two episodes left (I like to pretend this is TV) of Why Didn’t I Think Of That, the tale of a young Kansas woman who desperately needs to wash her hair, but is having more fun pretending she wrote and published all these fabulous cookbooks. But first! An apology. And I [...]

Lemon Butter Sole and Apple Cinnamon Empanadas
Dudes. Hark. Are you seeing that light coating of drizzleness sliding down those lemon slices? I don’t want to give anything away, but it’s butter. Pure unadulterated butter. It’s soft butter whisked with white wine and garlic and parsley and lemon juice. But I don’t want to give anything away. And see what’s under all [...]

Roasted Tomato Hummus
T-minus 48 hours until I go on vacation, y’alls. Okay so what does “T-minus” mean anyway? I always feel like whoever says it needs to be wearing aviators, small headphones and a brown bomber jacket. Teddy bear-minus? Thunderstorm-minus? Tap shoes-minus? Tomato hummus-minus? I’m going to look it up. Hold on real quick . . . [...]

Roasted Garlic Compound Butter and Lemony Risotto
You know how when you get chills little bumps raise up all over your skin? “Goosies” as J-Lo calls them? Okay, when I get the chills, they raise up in little patches. And ONLY on my left arm. Like, random little goosie patches. My right arm is completely normal, chill bumps performing gorgeously in an [...]

Lemony Roasted Potato Salad
My microwave is haunted. No, it really is. When I heat up anything, and then close the door after I’ve taken the food or coffee out of it, it starts up again, but only for a few seconds, like maybe six total, and then stops. Do you think it’s the ghost of my old kitchen [...]
