Friday. Night. Thanks.
For a girl with a big mouth, I have absolutely no words today. Take this as your opportunity out. I’m kidding! …Please don’t leave me. Thai Turkey With Coconut Basmati Rice: What it took for 2, with leftovers: * 1 1/4th cup basmati rice * 1 (14.5 oz) can coconut milk * 3 Tbs. fish sauce […]
Wild Rice With Tofu and Spinach
It was 72 degrees today. The windows are open. The sicky linens are in the wash. The sofa is febrezed. “I think I’m gonna like it here.” Name that movie. (Singing will help.) (Oh gosh, I meant in your head.) Wild Rice with Tofu and Spinach: What it took for 2: * 2 cups cooked […]
Chicken With Beans and Something Spicy
Who says getting a workout is impossible while under the weather? With all this coughing and blowing my nose, my stomach is this shy of a washboard. Or, it might just be the fog in my head causing hallucinations. THAT explains seeing Jude Law holding a garden hose and wearing a tutu in the women’s […]
Healing Soba Noodle Soup
We’ve suffered through day two of the raging flu at my house. While subtle moans of what sound to be human agony resonate from the sofa, I’m constantly trying to keep the house decontaminated by hosing down the walls with sanitizer and attaching a tube from my husband’s mouth that leads out the back door.

Shrimp and Tortilla Soup
Alright winter weather, my bag is packed. My boarding pass is printed. There’s no stopping me now. You have approximately 17 hours to melt, clear up and GET GONE. ….Pretty please? With a tortilla strip on top? Shrimp and Tortilla Soup: What it took for 2: * ½ pound medium frozen shrimp, thawed and pat […]
Smoked Chickpeas. No, Not That Kind.
So I’ve been mentally packing for my trip this week. One of the items I was giddily going to include was my new pair of cream Sperry Topsiders. Then the darkness set in: a cruel trick from Mother Nature, a plot against me in my desire to wear warm weather footwear. I tell you what, […]
It’s Monday Night. Who Says We Can’t Have Scallops?
I don’t want to make you jealous, but I’m flirting with a long weekend staring into my eyes. Thursday morning I venture south for my sister’s baby shower and I am counting the hours until I’m on the plane headed towards baby mania. To soften the blow for my husband, who will suffer immensely in […]
