There’s rice in it, too, so please don’t x out. Lettuce wraps! It’s been a while since I’ve made slash posted lettuce wraps. I always forget about these delightful canoes o’ savory bliss. I know it’s an odd time of year to be posting lettuce wraps, with all the soups and creamy pastas and casseroles […]

Gnocchi and Chicken Sausage Soup
Bappy Balemtime’s Bay! (yes I’m that troll who still says it that way.) I made you love soup! It’s love soup because you’re going to have a full blown heart attack once you find out what’s in it. Not because the ingredients are heart-attack inducing. I mean, they are. But not like, hospital-gown-open-in-the-back-see-your-bum-style. It’s more […]
Friday Flotsam
fridAAAAAAAYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYAAAYAY. Do you want to hear a story about how I’m the worst mom alive? Of course you do, you live for this stuff. Now personally, this story will go down as one of my most proud parental moments, even though it most likely scarred Natalie for life. Listen, it’s my duty to instill the […]
Slow Cooker French Onion Pot Roast over Creamy Polenta
Hellooooo, slowcookerfrenchoinionpotroastovercreamypolenta lovah. Um, this meal is going to be your winter mouth canoe grub game changer. And I mean it. First of all, it’s slow cooker. Commence simultaneous clapping and sobbing. Second of all, it’s a giant slab of meato. Isn’t that neato? (sorry) Third of all, the words “French” and “onion” are involved, […]
Pasta Rings with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Bacon
This is your second chance in life. And it involves carbs and bacon. And brussels sprouts, which is green, so it’s basically a salad. Meals like this govern my life. Approachable enough for a weeknight, but disguised as a pretentious, laborious weekend undertaking that makes you stabby. It’s quite simple really! And you can juggle […]
Friday Flotsam
Fr iday. So the other day I was texting with Jess. Not to be confused with JESS. One I salivate for, the other I salivate with. No no, Jess – my maj homegirl. My neurotic partner in crime. The only other person who uses as many exclamation points and all caps in a text as […]
Monthly Mixtape: Tonight Tonight Tonight
We won’t even talk about how January disappeared faster than a sack of bullets. We also won’t even talk about what that sentence even meant just now. (photo via the interflex, but I tweaked it a little, because I just can’t let things lie.) Have you ever thought about HOW MANY SONGS have the […]
Sleeping with Dirty Lemon. Wait, That Came Out Wrong.
Zzzzzzzzzzzz. (This post is definitely in partnership with Dirty Lemon, but all ramblings and opinions are totally my own. I’m whispering this, so I don’t wake you. We coo?) Sleep. SLEEP. Sleep. Do you know this word I speak of? Ring any snooze buttons? Ah, you might vaguely remember this “sleep” thing. Long before your […]
Friday Flotsam
fa adf asfjal sdf f f as f f f ff f FRIDAY. You know what makes me bonkers? (you’re like, everything ever in the history of ever?) DUVETS. And duvet COVERS. And COMFORTERS. Why do all these words exist? Why isn’t it just – BEDSPREAD? When I was growing up, we always called it […]
Steamed Mussels with Fries – A Wine Pairing with Noble Vines
*This post is definitely in partnership with Noble Vines wine, but all opinions and gulping are my own. We coo?* I’m not 100% lizard! Wait, I should explain. Remember about six or seven weeks ago, when I spit in that tiny clear tube, added a milky blue liquid substance to it, shook it up and […]
