Grass-Fed Burgers with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Crispy Shallots
Burg, baby, burg. I’m not even entirely sure what I mean there, but let’s just roll with it. Can you believe it’s THANKSGIVING WEEK? (all caps mandatory) I cannot. Just cannot. We leave in the morning for our our annual trip to Fayetteville, where we’ll see frans and fam, but backwards, flipped and reversed. I […]
Friday Flotsam
friday YADIRF friday YADIRF friday YADIRF friday YADIRF friday YADIRF. I had to double check that like thrice to make sure everything was spelled right. And of course nothing was. POLL: Do you use your bath mat strictly as a bath mat, OR an area rug? Meaning, do you drape it over the tub edge […]
Chai Tea Popcorn
Do you make homemade popcorn? We make homemade popcorn. Let’s make homemade popcorn. But let’s make it cray! Just kidding, I don’t say cray. I say BAE, but not cray. Good heavens, never cray. I used to say cray, but not anymore. I noticed it would make my hair fall out, so I stopped saying […]
Wild Mushroom and Christmas Bean Crostini
. . . with Parsley Pesto. (!!) I just didn’t have room for it in the title. But you’re hung on the Christmas bean part, aren’t you? Have you ever seen slash HEARD of Christmas lima beans? I’m sort of obsessed with enormous beans lately. Big, fat, type-A personality, take-control-of-the-situation beans, man. Beans that aren’t […]

Creamy Sausage and Kale Soup
I don’t think we’ve slurped enough this season. Usually I say this next sentence towards the end, but I just can’t rightly deal with suffering in silence that long. I cannot WAIT for you to make this soup! It has everything. Yesyesyesyesyesyes. (<–name that character) Sausage (yes), mini pasta (hurts), rustic fire-roasted tomatoes (heavens), cream […]
Sweet Potato Noodle and Kale Casserole
There are noodles in that casserole. Sweet potato noodles. Shall we boogie? Sweet potato casserole was always my ultimate fave Thanksgiving side dish growing up. Remember all those toasty marshmallows and buttery, crumbled nuts on top? Mah gah. And while I could still giddily inhale 13 pans of that glory today, I’m trying to come […]
Friday Flotsam
FWIDAY. WHAT BWINGS US. TUGEVAAA. TODAAAY. Look. I’m going to go ahead and address the tomato in the room. (name that show) I know it’s on everyone’s minds, I can sense it. But no one wants to be the one to ask the burning question. But I’ll ask. I’m not afraid. WHERE IS NEW GIRL? […]
Seared Scallops and Steak Tacos (With Wine Pairings!)
We’re totally changing things up today! And by “changing things up,” I mean we’re drinking wine. Oops? I’ve never actually thought about posting wine pairings on this here internet website url, so when the fine folks at Noble Vines wrote, asking if I’d like to sample a couple of wines and possibly pair them with […]
