This pizza idea was birthed in my brain after spotting a lone peanut on the kitchen counter one afternoon last week. I have no idea where it came from or how it […]

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 […]
Soba Noodles with Scallops and Vegetables
Slurp. Crunch. Chew. Pow. Zing. Faint. Repeat. That’s pretty much what we’re dealing with here, folks. A quadrafecta of bite by bite mouthal blowout.

Spicy Tofu Steaks over Bok Choy and BRIDESMAIDS, omg.
“I know there’s pain. WHY DO YOU LOCK yourself up in these chains?” (these chains.) Yep. I finally watched Bridesmaids last night. You guys, I’m still coming to terms with the unbelievable fact that my agent didn’t contact me for an audition. a) Kristin Wiig is my sista-from-anotha-motha. *SPOILER ALERT* b) The bestest and most […]

Pork and Shrimp Potstickers
Friday evening my husband skipped through the front door with a grin on his face the size of Delaware and an obscenely large new toy in his grip. He had just purchased . . . a mountain bike. Lord help me. You see, he just started training for an Xterra triathlon next summer, and has […]
