Is it too late to declare this “GRAIN WEEK FOR THE SOUL?” How ’bout for the pancreas? Just kidding. I just realized with Sylvia on Monday and the quinoa biz yesterday and now THIS? All these mofo grainz, boyyyyy. By the time Friday gets here though I’ll have to call it “OPPOSITE OF GRAIN WEEK […]

Tex-Mex Chicken Quinoa Salad
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to ride on the wings of a Bald Eagle through the majestic mountains of Yosemite at the break of a crisp spring dawn? Oh gosh me either, are you kidding? I’m so not a risk taker. But I can imagine that eating this Tex-Mex Chicken Quinoa salad comes […]
Curried Bulgur Sliders
To avoid any confusion on the spelling of the weirdotron word “bulgur”, I’m going to refer to these sliders as Sylvia. Because honestly, why is it such a pain to spell? Bulgur, bulgar, bulghur, burghul, bullhonkylonky. This is why Sylvia clearly makes sense. What I’m trying to say is, I made something vegan! And I […]
Baked and Smothered Chipotle Chicken and Kale Chimichangas
I think we need to get smothered on this here Good Frideeeee. It’s hard to see with the naked eye, but this is actually super duper crazy freaky healthy! Okay, minus the 45 pounds of cheese dip on top, and the enormous tortilla the size of a rhinoceros torso. But underneath that crispy, golden-brown carbo-mama […]
Grilled Mascarpone and Roasted Jalapeno Pistachio Pesto Cheese Sandwich
Is it too early in the day for a solid round of fist bumps? How ’bout an unadulterated squeal fest? Ring around the rosy? Pockets all full and stuff? Either way, I’m wearing some blue.chip. giddy pants today. And I haven’t worn giddy pants in a while! They’re a little tight. Hmm. So this […]
Creamy Polenta with Chicken Sausages and Peppers
Sweet babies that drink the morning dew this is it. I have now officially decided that I would like creamy parmesan polenta to coat the inside of my mouth, body, mind and soul, forever and ever. Oh and, that whole babies that drink the morning dew thing? Would you believe me if I told you […]
Rigatoni Pasta Pie
I know. You don’t even have to say it. I felt the wave of your eye roll. Matter of fact, I just surfed on that sum-bia. When I say Rigatoni Pasta Pie I always say it like Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally, when he and Meg Ryan are standing in that massive art […]
Breakfast Taco Cups
Do you remember the movie Somewhere in Time? With Christopher Reeve, Christopher Plummer and Jane Seymour? I hadn’t seen it since, hmmm, I’m guessing the ’80s probably, and I watched it again while making these breakfast taco cups last weekend, and I can’t stop thinking about it. The movie, not the taco cups. Oh I’m […]
Chicken Taco Twist
Yep. Pretty obnoxious, isn’t it? And I don’t even have an excuse. So embarrassing! One minute I was craving tacos (shhhhocker) and the next I was stuffing two French breads with this spicy chicken taco mixture with cheese and beans and chipotle peppers. And then I started twisting it up all like some harebrained villain […]
Nutella Brie Bites
This is the kind of food you eat when it’s technically spring yet it WON’T STOP SNOWING. But I’m not bitter or anything. Look at what we get to eat! Let me just set the scene for ya real quick. It was the other day and I was hungry. The end. I’m just kidding. So […]
