Oh look it’s July and I turned my crock pot on. AAAW LAAWWD. Actually, I think I might declare crock pots to be the new summer appliance of choice. BECAUSE, I would put my hands all around it from time to time to test just how much heat it emits and it’s basically nil, you […]

Seared Salmon Salad with Kale and Garden Vegetables
Are you totally sick of seeing tomatoes and zucchini in EVERY SINGLE POST? Because I hear ya. But first we gotta talk about this salad. Omg. I didn’t rightly know what was going to unfold when I made this salad. Didn’t really have a plan or an agenda. All I knew at that moment in […]
Homemade Ricotta Cheese
So you know how we went to Arkansas last weekend for the holiday and I got that enormous tree log splinter stuck in my thigh? Well I have good news. We got the splinter out. And then we made cheese. And the cool thing was, the very tools and chemicals we used to get the […]
Chicken & Pesto Panini and an Avocado-Citrus Salad
Shooooooot, y’all. It’s double doozy doozer day. Oh my gosh do you remember the old show from 1986 on Nickelodeon called Double Dare?! Where the kids had to run through those cray obstacle courses and they’d get green slime dumped on them! And Marc Summers was the host?! I SOOO-OHOHOH-OH had a crush on Marc. […]
Lemony Roasted Potato Salad
My microwave is haunted. No, it really is. When I heat up anything, and then close the door after I’ve taken the food or coffee out of it, it starts up again, but only for a few seconds, like maybe six total, and then stops. Do you think it’s the ghost of my old kitchen […]

Minimal willy nilly. Light on the rigamaroo. But not today! Actually, making gnocchi from scratch isn’t difficult at all. I’m confusing […]
Orzo with Gruyere & Almond-Crusted Tilapia Salad
Hiya! Actually, I don’t know what I think about saying “hiya.” It didn’t really feel like me. And it’s not like I even needed to open with saying hi or hiya or hello or what up or hey dude or grüezi or whatever. I guess it’s because I’m in Arkansas right now, at a different […]
Garden Veggie Pizza with Kale Pesto and Brie
I’m pretty sure that food might be the last thing anyone in America wants to look at right now. But see it’s pizza, which one might deem a double blorbalicious whammy, but wait. It’s not. It’s tricky math really. It goes like this. The sum of the firecracker pops plus the amount of brats you […]
4th of July Round-Up Extravaganza of the Year and Century
AMERICUUUUH. This round-up is actually extremely tiny and hilarious. And you mostly likely have your menu planned for today like a well-behaved, organized American citizen, but just in case you needed two more side options, four main entrée alternatives like burgers and fish, one drink option and seriously only one dessert option, Y’ALL I AM […]
