Crock Pot Chicken Stock
I swear all I ever want to do is talk about Gone Girl. I’m 77% through it and I CANNOT DO anything else but read the blasted thang. Talk about a screen clicker. Get it? Instead of a page turner? Because I’m reading it on an e-reader? And I click the screen? Instead of turn […]
Roasted Vegetable and Pesto Minestrone
This soup looks like my neighborhood right now. Okay and get this. Normally I don’t gravitate towards certain fallish colors, likes the brown and yellow hues. Now, the burnt oranges, deep reds and dark purples? Totally obsessed with. But THIS YEAR? This year I’m loving it all. ALL OF IT. I’m like a loose lion […]

It’s so so so so sososososo fall right now. SO fall. And I seriously c.a.n.n.o.t. soak it up enough. I know I’m probably annoying the tar out of you guys with my constant Instagram fall nature pictures, but I can’t heeeeeeelp it. Everywhere I look I’m like HOW IS THAT TREE EVEN DOING THAT. HOW […]

Creamy Smothered Chicken with Mushrooms
I wish I was that piece of chicken. Well, before the whole teeth puncturing through me thing. But really, I wish I was that piece of chicken. But I wish I was that piece of chicken with a huge tongue. A huge slippery tongue so that I could lick everything on, above and under me. […]
Coconut Curry Chicken Soup
Siiiiiiiiiiimple simple simple simple. Super simple. It’s almost embarrassing. By the way, did you have a nice weekend? I feel like I never ask how you are. Is that rude of me? Because I want to know. I seriously do! Can I just tell you that I started reading Gone Girl Friday night and I’m […]
Thin Crust Pizza with Caramelized Onions, Sausage and Roasted Red Peppers
Story time! Wait, did you just GROAN? I spent most of my formative years in Hobbs, New Mexico. Way out in the desert with tumbleweeds and dust and sleeveless muscle shirts. So from the ages of 9 to 19, if my family had any major shopping to do, like back-to-school style, we drove two hours […]
