AMERICUUUUH. This round-up is actually extremely tiny and hilarious. And you mostly likely have your menu planned for today like a well-behaved, organized American citizen, but just in case you needed two more side options, four main entrée alternatives like burgers and fish, one drink option and seriously only one dessert option, Y’ALL I AM […]

Bulgur Salad with Spinach, Pine Nuts and Asparagus
Hearty summer grain salads are ALL THE RAGE RIGHT NOW. Could you tell I was using my best car salesman voice? Actually they would say, “GIT YER BULGUR SALAD BEFORE IT’S GONE GONE GONE.” Why do car sales people repeat words? “I’m sorry honey, I know we were in the middle of fertilizing the flower […]
Free-Form Vegetarian Lasagna
I love it when food has attitude. Like this. This lasagna is practically standing in a big open field with braids and flowers in its hair and a huge sign, “Whatever, I’m free-form. Wanna make something of it? And by the way, I just burned my bra.” It’s lasagna without much willy nilly. There’s […]
Pan-Seared Salmon For One
I don’t WANT to annoy the living tar out of you. I don’t. So let me just get this teeny tiny thing out of the way real quick before we begin, cool? Just bear with me. …..sweet Lordy Lou almighty beans of the earth he diddly done won it. Not that this was a shocker, […]
Creamy Lumaconi with Italian Sausage and Spinach
It started off so innocently. It was a muggy Saturday evening and we’d spent all afternoon spreading one hundred thousand bags of black mulch all over the garden beds. Covered in wood chips, we wearily stumbled into the house to collapse on the sofa, pour 35 glasses of wine and fist bump over the success […]
Italian Sausage with Broccolini and Grapes
Leave it to the cool culinary cat Mark Bittman to add grapes to a savory dish. Grapes! I can’t believe I just called someone a cat. Does this mean I have to join a swing band now? Of course I know he didn’t invent adding grapes to something and I know I’ve seen it […]
Mediterranean Couscous with Grilled Vegetables
This meal might have forgotten to show up for hair and makeup, but maaaaaan the taste is going to stop you in your TRACKS. You know those little boxes of couscous that come with the little seasoning packets in them? No, no, not macaroni and cheese (although I would donate my pancreas to eat that […]
Biscuit Fish Tacos and Asparagus Pesto Pasta
Believe it. What your eyeballs are peeping right now is the absolute fist bumpin’ truth. Fish tacos wrapped. in. buttermilk. biscuits. Now, I can’t actually take credit for this 8th wonder of the world, as someone already doth created this masterful recipe for the annual Pillsbury Bake-Off. Well, the insanely popular event kicked off again […]
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 […]
Mini Stout Pies and Blueberry Pecan French Toast
I hadn’t planned on showing you beefy mini stout pies and blueberry pecany french toast in the same day, but sometimes life takes us in unexpected turns. Like when you have a nightmare that you cut all of your hair off after thinking so much about Winona’s hair, but in your dream it doesn’t look […]
