Remember the scene at the end of Reality Bites when Ethan Hawke and Winona Ryder discover their love for each other after a spell of confusing and tense times, and he runs home to be with her after being MIA for a few days, and she’s packing her little brown bag to catch her cab […]

Chicken Massaman Curry
So I’m tweeting with Phillip Phillips’ girlfriend. Is this a new low for me? I prefer to think of it as a new awesome. I tried tweeting with Phillip himself, but when I noticed a line of cop cars in front of my house and snipers in my birch trees, I climbed down from my […]
The Whatever Cobb Salad
This isn’t really a recipe, my ladyship, but more of a “toss together anything you have cobby lying around and call it a day” salad, my lordship. Oh, sorry about the nicknames. We just finished the first season of Downton Abbey last night and now I’m completely obsessed and wishing I had a hunormous castle […]
Asian Chicken Burgers
There are two imperatively crucial subject matters that I must exclaim to all the lands right now. 1) Asian chicken burgers rule my face. 2) Steam from a tea pot burns the skin like a mother. Let’s start with the first subject matter. Has your mouth experienced an Asian chicken burger before? Guess how many […]
Spring Vegetable Flatbread
You know those birds I was talking about singing A Chorus Line on my back porch at 6am? They’ve now moved on to The Phantom of the Opera and I can’t decide if I owe them admission fees or a knuckle sandwich. Let’s talk about flatbread while I try to figure out these perplexities in […]
Moroccan Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
Can you believe I’m not wrapping something up in a goldarned tortilla? I know! But before we begin, did you see my boyfriend sing last night right after having kidney stone surgery? Uh, surgery made him hotter. Something about the removal of the kidney stones definitely made his eyes even more piercing and sparkly and […]
Turkey Potato Cups and a Broccoli Pesto Bread Braid
There is absolutely no way I can prepare you for what you’re about to read over on the Tablespoon. I just need you to sit down, clear a spot in your mind for never ending confusion and clear a spot in your throat for never ending WHAAAAAAAAATS. If you’re an old friend of mine or […]
The Pioneer Woman’s Chicken Tortilla Soup
(This giveaway has now ended.) So there’s this woman. Her name is Ree. You might know her? I’ll give you a hint! Her last name rhymes with Brummond and she’s married to a man who lives for cow poop and they have four punks (hey! her word, not mine) and they live on a huge […]
Orzo Risotto with Chicken and Spring Vegetables
SPAAAAAAAAAARIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING IS HEEAAAAHHHH. Well, sort of. Technically it’s next week. But if you could sit next to me and witness this deafening performance of A CHORUS LINE being put on by 37,000 robins on my back porch at 6am, you’d agree. Spring is up in this piece. I’ve never said “up in this piece” […]
Sausage, Mushroom and Spinach Lasagna Roll Ups
I’ve just made the greatest discovery of all time. Okay, not of ALL time because obviously the talents of Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams have long been bestowed upon us. But close! Let me just start from the very beginning. I’ve been mega mama craving some sort of lasagna roll up since always. I […]
