AS IN, I BAKED A MUFFIN. There is one thing I have surely learned on this month-long relocation. (BESIDES ALL THE THINGS) And I knew it and practiced it before, but it is now so ingrained in my day-to-day, small-humans-all-around-me-all-the time-so-help-me-God life. SNACKS. Have snacks. Have so many snacks. Snacks on the counter, snacks in […]
Well well WELL….. I accidentally-totally-on-purpose made this luxurious pile of creamy, cheesy, buttery, mushroomy bliss a couple of days ago for lunch, and all I could do (besides sob like a baby) was imagine hosting a fabulous ladies’ luncheon and serving this with a bucket ton of rosé and a crisp kale salad. It was […]
You’re going to need to sit down. Because this . . . THIS ^^ might deliciously ruin your life forever. It’s pimento cheese, which is already a problem I desperately need in my situation. But this version has Roth’s JALAPENO HAVARTI in it and I’m sorry but all caps are completely necessary. Have you ever […]
I’m seriously about to cry. This, I believe, with my whole heart, is my most favorite thing I’ve made all freaking ding dang year. And I don’t take those words lightly. BECAUSE I’M SORRY ARE YOUR EYES SEEING THAT OR NOT? You know what, why don’t we take this gently. First of all, you’re looking […]
THEY WORKED. The gougères that I was having a mammoth anxiety attack over before I even started making them. THEY WORKED! What’s a gougère? It’s a French cheese puff! A pastry of sorts. Savory. Life giving. And you know, I don’t know why I was so sissified to make them. They’re actually quite easy. You […]
Ask, and you shall receive. Reggceive? Reggceive. No. Let’s make egg salad! NOW, I REALIZE that screaming isn’t necessary right now. So I’ll chill out and start over. Now, I realize that egg salad is is a classic, delicate flavor that shouldn’t be willy nilly’d with, or else grandmothers all over the world (and graves!) […]
CAN’T. FEEL. FACE. What is it about pull apart bread that has every single human being rightly coming undone at the seams? Is it the bread? The cheese? The pulling? The apart? Or all of the above? WELLLLLLLL. I thought I’d give you lassies and lads something to gorge your life away on, especially if […]
MORE LIKE FUNDUE. (oh please, you 100% saw that coming.) Baaaaack in the day, when Aaron and I were freshly married and living in our downtown loft in Kansas City and I had a good tight neck, we hosted annual Christmas Fondue parties. Like, every year for YEARS. For maybe three years. So not every […]
Am I the only one who desperately wants to pet those little chickpeas and call them Frank? This appetizer! First of all, I can’t take credit for it. It’s not mine. But I did inhale 5/8ths of it in 12 minutes flat. Does that count? My sweetie pie/travel partner gal friend Sonja of A Couple […]
It’s not too early in the year for buffalo, is it? (THIS IS WHERE YOU SAY “NEVER.”) It’s a buffalo chicken twist, you guys. And it is a bloomin’ game-day show stopper. And EASY. And you get to shred a rotisserie chicken so there’s therapy involved. And buffalo sauce. Praises. So awwwwl yew gonna do […]
