Spring is here! Let’s celebrate by eating . . . soup. Oh I ain’t dissin’ the soup. I’m dissin’ March for being such a stupid tease jerk face. Last Friday our high was 78. SEVENTY EIGHT. It was bliss. I was outdoors, pulling leaves and dead stuff out of the garden beds, installing a brand […]

Baked Italian Chicken with Pasta
You guys, I just cleaned my computer screen and I swear to you, it’s like . . . oh . . . what are the words . . . A WHOLE NEW WOOOOOORLD. A DAZZLING PLACE I NEVER KNEW. BUT WHEN I’M WAY UP HERE, IT’S CRYSTAL CLEA – oh you got the point. K. […]
Seared Salmon with Mushrooms and Asparagus over Coconut Noodles
Monday, Monday (ba daaaa, ba da da da), so good to meeee (ba daaaa, ba da da da). No worries, chimmy chums. I’m not going to ruin your life by butchering the lyrics to yet another song, in the pathetic attempt to somehow relate to the food, while simultaneously calming the traffic in my head. […]
BLT Pizza
I’m on the verge of spontaneous combustion right now. Why yes, I can predict and plan my own spontaneity. That’s one of the perks of being a sanguine Leo/Virgo cusp monster. Of course there are other perks, such as eyes in the back of my head (fine, they’re cross-eyed) and ninja-like shredding paper skills, but […]
Beer-Steamed Clams
Doesn’t beer-steaming sound like the most wonderful thing on Earth? (But first, a quick apology at how blurry these photos are. It was pouring rain and my hair was on fire and I think my neurological system was experiencing some malfunctions.) That said, I seriously think I could beer-steam everything ever. Beer-steamed chicken? Why not? […]
Creamy Rigatoni with Tomatoes and Sausage
O Rigaromeo, Rigaromeo, wherefore art thou Rigaromeo? Deny thy flavor and refuse thy taste? Or if thou wilt not, but be sworn my appetite. And I’ll no longer be starving. (Rigaromeo, aside:) Shall I cook more, or shall I tempt at this? ‘Tis but thy make that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, […]
Colcannon and Slow Cooker Corned Beef
Kiss me, I’m . . . hyper? Wait, that’s not it. Actually, my maiden name is Blann. Might as well be O’Blann, right? O’Blann of the Thistle and Shamrock. O’Blann and the Four-Leaf Clovers (that would be my band). O’Blann’s dancin’ her fifth jig out there, lassie! Top of the morning to her face! So […]
Shrimp Naan Pizzas with Thai Coconut Arugula Pesto
I . . . don’t even know where to begin. Perhaps that reejankulously long title? It’s because I couldn’t leave any word out! And believe me, this is watered down from what it was before. I was going to call it Shrimp Arugula Garlic Ginger Green Curry Paste Coconut Sugar Double Pepper Naan Cilantro Lime […]
Crab Salad with Celery
Oh oops there’s jumbo lump crab in this salad, oops. Sure it’s Friday and sure it’s always to fun to end the week with something super decadent and oozy and rich and slow-motion-in-front-of-a-fan worthy. Sure. But get this. We can totally do that with this crab and celery salad! Oh but we can! ALLOW ME […]
Creamy Potato Soup with Bacon and Basil
Since the stupid stubborn snow refuses to melt, me thinks the clear solution is creamy potato soup. Look, I don’t want to get all annoyingly weather-obsessed on ya, but I’ve taken a peepsie into the long ranger forecast and me thinks we’re bound for some serious melting. Me also thinks that it’s probably the grossest […]
