I can’t wait to tell you all about these. But first, an ant just walked across my forehead. Just cruised across my head like it’s backpacking Europe or something. And of course I completely freaked out, feeling the tiny tickle. Because at first I didn’t know what it was! Was it blood trickling down my […]

Grilled Beef Meatball Subs
Sometimes I think my brain is lysdexic, because I keep reading this as Grilled Beet Meafball Subs. And it has me wondering, what is a meafball? Do we really want to know? Do we seriously want to pull at that thread? I’m gonna go ahead and step away now. I think it’s the best decision. […]
Sweet Corn, Pepper and Green Chile Biscuit Empanadas {Tablespoon Tuesdays}
And just like that, it got major lame-o hot. Like, so hot that I’m sitting around the house draping wet towels over my face and neck and clavicle and arms and back. So hot that I spend a good 45 hours a day sucking on Fla*Vor*Ice pops with my head in the freezer. (pronounced flaVOOOOOOORice) […]
Lemon Balm and Crystallized Ginger Granitas
Summah solllstiiiice, y’aaaaall. Aw, lawwwwd. Time to board those thirsty mouths on the Refreshment Trolley and take a ride! You don’t have to tell anyone I just said that. The other day on the NPRs there was a local story about ice cream vs. frozen yogurt vs. gelato vs. granitas. Which one has the most […]
Purple Gnocchi with Rosemary Butter
You bettah believe it. Freaking purple! Well, purple during the making, and grayish in the results. But who cares? We can still call it purple. I had this idea a while back when I bought a bag of purple potatoes for this ridiculous bacon flag pizza I made, but I forgot about it once my […]
Grilled Zucchini Ribbon and Kale Salad {Tablespoon Tuesdays}
I guess we should eat something good for us. If we have to. ACTUALLY, this is one of those trickster salads. The kind that when you’re making it you’re like, “uuuugh.” But then you take the first bite and you’re like, “ooooh.” And then you keep taking bites and you’re like, “whoaaaa.” And then a […]
Orzo with Bacon and Summer Vegetables
Pasta will always be the answer. Man alive, I asked you guys for help and THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN. Thank you all for your super rad suggestions! I’m gonna do my verrr best to touch on all of it. Maybe twice. MAYBE THRICE. But for today, we have bacon. And orzo. And vegetables. And lemon […]
Antipasto Pizza
I have something to tell you. So I’m just gonna say it. Not holding back. Not ashamed. Getting it off my chest. No holds barred. Here we go. One, two, three. My choo choo train left Inspiration Station and has yet to return. I’m DRIED UP AND WITHERED AWAY, you guys. I’m an old hag. […]
Park Day with Ze Freeeenz
This is a post about going to the park with my friends because I can’t seem to cook jack lately. Park days are good. You play games, sip wine, gossip with girlfriends, flip through magazines, lose track of time and pee in the trees. I didn’t say *I* pee in the trees. I said you. […]
Goat Cheese Tomato Pie {Tablespoon Tuesdays}
I’m sorry. Maybe I need to say it again. GOAT CHEESE TOMATO PIE. Hunay chawwwwl. Obviously my favorite part of this dish is the cheese. The buckets of piles of mountains of goat and mozzarella and parmesan cheese. But honestly, aside from the cheese, I think my favorite part of this dish are the thinly […]
