Happy Halloween! And oh, look at these summer vegetables from the garden I’m showing you right now. How again does this even make sense on a holiday like today? Not a clue. Next I’ll be sunbathing on my roof, wearing jorts and a tie-dyed tube top while blasting “Good Vibrations” out of my turquoise boombox. […]

Butter Chicken
Butter Chicken. Say it out loud with me. Butter Chicken. Didn’t your mouth feel so happy just now? You can’t say “butter chicken” without the rumble of a school-girl squeal in your belly followed by the eruption out of your face. This was the first time I’ve ever made butter chicken. And it all started […]
Spicy Tofu Steaks over Bok Choy and BRIDESMAIDS, omg.
“I know there’s pain. WHY DO YOU LOCK yourself up in these chains?” (these chains.) Yep. I finally watched Bridesmaids last night. You guys, I’m still coming to terms with the unbelievable fact that my agent didn’t contact me for an audition. a) Kristin Wiig is my sista-from-anotha-motha. *SPOILER ALERT* b) The bestest and most […]
Turkey Sloppy Joe Sliders
I need to start this post with an apology, because what I’m about to do to you is unforgivably painful. It will make your face hurt. Your ears bleed. Your brain cells sizzle like root beer flavored jelly beans on a hot sidewalk in the middle of July. You will curse my name for the […]
Sausage, Red Bell Pepper and Spinach Pesto Pizza
You know how they say a picture is worth a thousand words? Well, today I’m showing you 10 pictures. You guys, that’s 10 thousand words. (apparently I think you’re lame at math.) Lucky for you I’m not going to get all “Tina the Alamo tour guide from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure” on you and describe […]
Snesto Pesto. I MEAN PEEK. Sneak Peek. Hmmm.
I mean, could you not bathe in this?
Red Quinoa with Mushrooms and Kale
In my 35 years as an eater, I have found that moaning, eye rolls, sobbing, shivering, losing vision, hearing and balance are usually reserved for foods that contain a gloriously sinful amount of cheese, cream, and carbs. Or chocolate. Am I right? Are we on the same page here? I’m about to change that for […]
Help Me?
I’m just gonna give it to you straight. I’m in mega trouble.
Creamy Orzo with Browned Chicken
Two things occurred to me yesterday. 1) It’s been a while since I’ve consumed heavy cream. That’s embarrassing. And 2) Oh, hi, little cherry tomatoes that I sort of forgot about in the back of the fridge that are about to grow arms, legs and a backpack and hitch hike out of our house and […]
17 Bean and Barley Soup
I think it can happen to anyone. I wouldn’t call it a BAD thing. I just think it’s common and we shouldn’t read too much into it. Or judge. To my face. I bought a bag of dried mixed beans soup thingy from Trader Joe’s. Uh huh, the one with the instructions printed on the […]
