Bread! We like bread. We live for bread. And you’ll lose your mind over this one. This would be a stellar idea for next week. Or this weekend. Or tomorrow. Because we’re nestling lemon slices and briny olives with a pinch of crushed red pepper and flaky sea salt into some rustic bubbly bread and […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrridge gets fixed today! Let me back up. Our refrigerator started ticking last Saturday morning and I was like, “Oh haha! Listen to that ticking sound in the vent. Isn’t that cute? Must be waking up.” WRONG. The compressor thingamabob went kaput. It’s out of freon. Which means it’s not cold. Started with the freezer, […]
Potsticker Soup
Okaaaaaay. This right here? About to win your face over. Potsticker soup! Hello, this shortcut is everything. We’re ripping open a bag of frozen potstickers and violently dumping them into a criminally simple soup for a weeknight wowza. What’s not to obsess over? Nothing. There is nothing. You’ll cry over this. We’ll sauté a few […]
Coconut Pumpkin Ricotta Cake
Ricotta cake. Because I feel like the combo of cheese and cake might be exactly what’s needed. Some of us are hurting. Some aren’t. We’re not getting into any of that though. I refuse to give it energy. However, while we feel our feelings and process what’s ahead, why not have some cake! Some ricotta […]
Monthly Mixtape: Repeat! Crooning Jukebox and Hot Roller Locks
Hi! Hey! It’s voting day! I have so much nervous energy today. Can’t figure out . . . why. So, I’m giving you an old mixtape while we navigate the week ahead. I’m going to deep clean the hall closet and listen to spa music for the unforeseeable future. If you missed this mixtape a […]
Stovetop Chicken Stroganoff
Strog! I call it Strog and everyones hate it. Strog, bro! This is a little different. It’s all stovetop (which I guess most are), but it uses a blend of Greek Yogurt and sour cream with tomato paste that’s to completely scream over. And the chicken – we’re using thighs that we’ve seasoned and seared […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruhduflusuh! We got RAIN!!!! IT RAINED LAST NIGHT!!!! And I leapt (leaped?) from the sofa the moment it hit and threw open the back door and danced around the living room like some deranged weirdo (name that tune) and nearly cried. Stayed up PAST my granny bedtime to walk around the entire house and listen […]
Creamy Beef Ravioli Soup
Soup! It’s soup time. Someone asked me in Instagram the other day when you all were getting a new soup. Well guess what, Chachi. It’s criminally simple. But as always, packs a punch that will have all the oooohs and aaaaahs seeping out everywhere. (that sounded weird, sorry.) We do take a shortcut with frozen […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrreedledeedoooo! Why is no one questioning who all these bridesmaids are in Father of the Bride? Like, who actually are they? And the groomsmen! So many! Who are these people again? Because remember, earlier in the movie when they’re all sitting around the patio table eating dinner and discussing the word “pit on a wedding […]
Udon Noodles with Mushrooms and Fried Eggs
Saaaaaalurp. But this time – udon noodle style! With sautéed mushrooms, a fried egg and a most deliciously spicy (but not too spicy!) drizzle of umami bliss. Shall we? Baby bellas. You can get them anywhere. Even white button mushrooms are fab. We just want them stemmed and sliced. Also, while we’re cooking our mushrooms […]
