In other words, YOUR NEW FAVORITE CHAPTER OF LIFE. I am completely dead over these. Dead and gone. Gone and buried. Buried and forgotten forever. Wait.

Sausage Meatballs with Kale and Creamy Polenta
Siiiiimple simple simple. (also it’s simple.) This is my brand new all-time favorite meal of all time today right now. It may look all fancy face, but in reality, it’s just a plain ol’, delicious cinch to pull together. Three things happen. Let’s discuss. You’re excited, I can tell. You roast tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes. If […]
Spinach, Mushroom and Ricotta Crepes
Crepes! As in – the real deal. From scratch. From crepe scratch. Plus an obscene amount of melted mozzarella because these are the ridiculous decisions of my life. So, the other day I was watching Jacques Pépin on the PBS, and he was whipping up these beautiful, light, golden brown crepes lightning fast, while his […]
Creamy Roasted Hatch Chile Sauce with Steak and Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Emergency recipe!! Sort of. I say emergency since a hatch chile is involved. Two hatch chiles are involved. And we know hatch chile season only lasts like, one Tom and Jerry episode. And we’re in it! I also say emergency because I hadn’t planned on making this dish until I stumbled upon a mini-hatch fest […]

Poutine Dogs
Are you even seeing this? I’ve eaten 76 of them and I’m still in disbelief that they exist. I’d like to shake the hand of the genius who invented this whole poutine thing. And then I’d probably be tempted to do that little thing where you wiggle one finger inside the person’s hand you’re shaking. […]

I’ve had a number of you ask for my final thoughts on the matter, and without any spoilers, I’ve collected my overall take on the ordeal, and I’ve come to a most substantial conclusion: W.T.F.

Lemon Butter Sole and Apple Cinnamon Empanadas
Dudes. Hark. Are you seeing that light coating of drizzleness sliding down those lemon slices? I don’t want to give anything away, but it’s butter. Pure unadulterated butter. It’s soft butter whisked with white wine and garlic and parsley and lemon juice. But I don’t want to give anything away. And see what’s under all […]
Seared Chicken Cutlets with Blue Cheese, Figs and Parsley
Fiiiiiigaro, figaro, figaro, figaro, figaroooooooo. Sorry. I’m randomly using evaporated milk in my coffee this morning and I think it’s manipulating the oxygen flow to my brain muscle. I hereby do not take responsibility for what happens in this post from this point on. FIGS. Do you ever think about figs and the seductive wizardry […]
