Slow Cooker Christmas Kitchen Sink Soup
Remember this from Instagram land? WELL, it’s now available at a website near you! I call it the “Christmas Kitchen Sink Soup” because: a) It’s all Christmas-y with some serious cinnamon and nutmeg business. b) You can pretty much throw anything into this soup (except ornaments, duh) and still have your face melt off in […]

Thin Crust Pizza with Tomatoes, Mushrooms and Broccoli
I blame Charlie Brown. All weekend long I listened to the Charlie Brown Christmas album while shopping for presents, wrapping presents and rewrapping presents.

The Weidner Steak Marinade
DING DONG. The doorbell rings. The sun has set. I’m in egg nog-stained yoga pants and my sock bun doth saggeth. Gripping the 14 heart attacks scrambling to escape my chest bone, I walk over to the kitchen window and peek out to see a UPS truck zipping away, leaving me with a gigantic cardboard […]

Shells and Shrimp in a Creamy Tomato Vodka Sauce
When was the last time you made a creamy tomato-y vodka-y pasta sauce? If it’s been longer than 3 1/2 hours, it’s been far too long. To be honest, I think the last time I made it was 7 years ago when we were living in a warehouse loft downtown and I was really into […]

While this isn’t the sexiest thing you might ever look at, once you taste it, you’re going to shed your earthly skin and become a new angelic force fiercely whipping through layers of psychedelic taste bud clouds, proclaiming victory at every turn. See the below ingredients? I almost can’t believe I’m about […]

Grilled Citrus Tuna Steak with Avocado and Spinach
I need to tell you something real quick: I WANT TO MARRY TUNA STEAKS. As I mentioned yesterday, I’m cooking a few recipes out of this super duper book I just finished. And as a mega mama lover of fish, this recipe jumped off the page, slapped my face into next week and then kissed […]
