Hold me closer, jumbo stuffed shell. First of ALL, yes these are cuckoo but we’ll get to them in a sec. Did you watch New Girl last night? Mindy Project? (no spoilers here, folks! chill your cheelahs) The ending of NG was baaaaasically what I expected. I didn’t hyperventilate and sweat like a moose in […]

Baked Italian Chicken with Pasta
You guys, I just cleaned my computer screen and I swear to you, it’s like . . . oh . . . what are the words . . . A WHOLE NEW WOOOOOORLD. A DAZZLING PLACE I NEVER KNEW. BUT WHEN I’M WAY UP HERE, IT’S CRYSTAL CLEA – oh you got the point. K. […]
Lighter Poppy Seed Chicken
Taaaaayell me you’ve heard of poppy seed chicken. Oh my gosh, my mom made it 45 billion umpteen bo bumpteen trillion times growing up, and just the name alone totally reminds me of weeknight homework, 30 minutes of Nintendo and Fresh Prince of Bel Air. It also reminds me of the local jail but I’m […]
Raw Zucchini “Pasta” and Roasted Vegetables Au Gratin
Oh hey! I survived the lighthouse. You guys, it was seriously 214 steps high into the heavens of angel territory. Narrow little see-through steps. Uuuuuup.chuck. I was wearing a long skirt and it was whipping around my ankles, so I absolutely freaked out thinking it was going to tangle up in my legs and cause […]
Chicken Dorito
I want that cheese to be my blankie. Oh hey! I survived the gators yesterday when kayaking. And the sharks. I guess crocks and sharks can coexist in salt water? Nasty, is all I have to say about that. HOWEVER, I was this close to losing my shiz over the 18,264 spiders in our kayak. […]
Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole
I blame America’s Funniest Home Videos. It’s quite the hazardous show if I have any say in this. You see, I made a boo-boo. And I am a little grossed out that I just typed “boo-boo” and evenly amazed that I’m not backspacing over it. Anyway, I was on a MISSION. A MEAL PLANNING MISSION. […]
Green Chicken Enchiladas
So do you want to know how cosmically and celestially connected I am to Mexican food and cheesy food and Mexican food with tortillas and cheese in it? I’ll tell you. When I was making these here chicken enchiladas on Monday night, I WASN’T EVEN THINKING ABOUT CINCO DE MAYO. I know! And then yesterday […]
Chicken Pot Pie Cupcakes and a Mexican Pasta Bake
Life is so weird. Yesterday it was 65 degrees and cloudy, so I went on a long run, fertilized the yards and admired our BLOOMING (??!) daffodils and crocuses. It poured poured poured rain over night, so I awoke to a slightly greener yard, a pale yellow glow from our forsythia and horrible bed head. […]
Baked Polenta Pie
I’ve been waiting my whole life to show you this recipe. Well, 4 days, but that can feel like a lifetime for a person like me. I’ve actually been waiting my whole life to MAKE this recipe, as it originally hails from bestie Laura and is stuffed and adorned with 14 cups of glorious cheese. […]
