FREEEEEEEEEEELALALALALALALALLAida. Y. Okay so tomorrow’s December, but doesn’t it feel like we’ve all been Christmasing already for 35 entire months? I’m telling you, it’s because Thanksgiving was so early this year! (yes I’m still talking about this.) I think it was three days earlier than in past years, so errrrrrberdy threw their dang tree up […]

Creamy Roasted Carrot Ginger Soup
And onions and garlic. All of it’s roasted to smithereens! Are you so excited? I’ve been dying to show you this recipe for forever and ever now. It’s one of those starter soups, you know. It begins the meal. Wets the whistle. Sets the stage. Wakes you up. PAVES THE WAY. You know. But it’s […]
Creamy Cajun Pappardelle with Andouille Sausage
Yaaay back to regular food! (fist bump nation) And I have to warn you about something. This week I’m posting two creamy recipes. One in pasta form. The other, soup. And both are creamy. Super creamy. Mega mama creamy. But it’s almost winter (technically still a few weeks away but who’s counting besides me) and […]
Sheet Pan Roasted Chicken with Wine Butter and Squash
Hi. Yes. Goodbye. Also, I don’t know how I managed to post CHICKEN in turkey week. In turkey week? On turkey week? During turkey week? YOU KNOW WHAT, this post is for those of you not doing turkey. And more interested in the words WINE AND BUTTER back to back. Right? So simple, you guys. […]
Mulled Rosé Wine
UM, YOUR NEW WINTER LIFE. Mulled rosé. MULLED ROSÉ. I know. You guys. It is a thing and it is happening right at this moment and things are officially looking up for all of us. MULLED ROSÉ. Just let that sink in for a second. And the thing is, this is so easy! Most of […]
Friday Flotsam
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF756745355869day. I’ve changed my mind about the Cornish hens. Oh oh! I’m still making them! Don’t look at me like that. I’m just changing HOW I’m going to make them. I’m now going to buttermilk them! (<–my fist is in the air right now.) We watched that Netflix documentary Salt Fat Acid Heat and I […]
Chicken and Jalapeno Havarti Naan Pizzas
Did all of those words make you weepy just now? Can we just talk about the brilliance of naan pizzas? Don’t get me wrong – I LOVE making my own pizza dough. It’s actually among my favorite hobbies! That and quoting Friends episodes. And Sex and the City episodes. And all TV shows. Never mind. […]
New England Clam Chowder
I KNOOOOOW DEM’S FIGHTIN’ WORDS. Guys. I made New England clam chowdah for you (me). And listen, I am completely aware there are exactly 8,364 different ways to make clam chowder. So before all the medusa heads come raging at me with, “THAT’S NOT CLASSIC,” or “NO ONE USES THAT,” or “THAT’S ALL WRONG,” or […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrfffffrrrrryyyyyyyaaaaaadddddiiiiiii. Cornish hens. (I’m just jumping right in.) Cornish game hens. Are they good? Because I can’t remember! I want to say it’s been since the ’80s since I’ve had a Cornish game hen. And that long since I’ve said the words Cornish, game and hen back to back. THIS IS THE THING – I’m […]
Monthly Mixtape: My Eyes Are Up Here
November! How? HOW. And no, you’re right – totally didn’t get a mixtape up last month. It was one of those little life eras where there was LESS than zero time to pull one together. My bad! Don’t hate. Just appreciate? I hope this one makes it up to you, though. Because it’s kind of […]
