Come hither. Sit. Two unexpected yet irrevocably significant things happened to me a few days ago, and I feel it’s only right to tell you. It all happened so fast and at the time I wasn’t even sure of what was actually occurring. I’m still trying to process it all and come to an answer, […]

Polenta Bruschetta and Pasta Salad Amazingness
Sometimes I just don’t have words. OH DON’T GIVE ME THAT LOOK. But really, sometimes there’s just nothing to say. I could try to tell how you much this polenta bruschetta rocks bawls. But you can look at that silky spinach pesto and little baby cherry tomato slices and seared plump shrimp and you know. […]
Endive Boats and a Quick Chicken Dinner
It’s a double feature today, folks! Step right up! We got goat cheese. We got herbs. We got lox and endive and chicken. We got mushrooms. We got soup. We got foil and ‘sparagus and lickin’. It’s like MY EVERY OWN CARNIVAL IN MY MIND. Wait a minute, this is all wrong. If I’m the […]
Bruschetta with Shrimp, Mushrooms and Green Garbanzo Beans
Before we go any further here, I need to come clean about something. I don’t know exactly how it happened, or what was going on inside the cerebral mass inside my head skull, but it did happen. And I can’t go back and fix it. I’ll never be able to go back and correct the […]
Asian Turkey Lettuce Cups
I have a kitchen. A real life kitchen with lights and electricity. A real life kitchen with water and soap and hand lotion. A real life kitchen with a sink so large, Hugh Hefner himself would glow at the possibilities. A real life kitchen with drawers so soft and slick, I’ll no longer look like […]
Rustic Spring Pizzettes and a Breakfast Bowl
So we started demo last night. And I HAYELPED. (name that 80s commercial.) Aside from the fact that there are only 8 gaping holes in our walls with tree limbs poking through and birds flying in and out, I think we did a fantastic job! And by “we” I mean “totally not we.” I’m also […]
Hot Ham and Cheese Dip
Well that’s over. What am I supposed to do with my time now that March Madness is behind us!? Oh, right. Finish Downton Abbey. But I only have half an episode left and we’re watching it tonight and THEN WHAT? Oh, right. Look at Phillip Phillips. But that’s only twice a week and WAAAAH. Oh, […]
Cauliflower Stuffed Tomatoes
Hi! So it’s Saturday and I wouldn’t normally bug you this morning, BUT I have to show you these cauliflower stuffed tomatoes topped with BACON before I come undone at the seams. Let me ask – are you watching KU play tonight? (because you need to.) I have an idea – you should totes watch […]
Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas
Well skip to my Lordy Lou, they totally did it. Who did it? The Jayhawks. What did they do? They made it to the Final Four. How many times did you do the pee pee dance in front of a TV screen this weekend? 4,268. Why did you just say pee pee dance? I have […]
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 […]
