I don’t even know where to begin. And that frightens you, doesn’t it? As you can see, I have zero process shots. Or as my brain likes to Sean Conneryize it, “zhero proshesh shotsh.” But I can explain! (the no shots, not the Sean Conneryizing) Remember the video that we shot at my house a […]

Creamy Cajun Sausage Ravioli
Raaaaaavioli where the cream comes sweepin’ down the plaaate. Get it? Like Oooklahoma where the wind com – you know? Since Oklahoma and ravioli are both 4 syllables? Get it? Oh. Guess what, I’m actually going to talk about – wait for it – the FOOD today. Whaaaaa. And it’s weird, now that I just […]
Portobello Mushroom and Kale Stroganoff
Stroganoff? It’s more like stroganON my face. That worked only in my head, didn’t it? Fiiiiirst of aaaaall, Parenthood. Who else calls complete wonk-a-lonk that next week is the LAST episode? I just read that this season was an “abbreviated” season with only 15 episodes. Well you know what, they can abbreviate my fist in […]
Spaghetti with Kale and Lemon
Oh weird I wonder how this pasta post ended up on my website. Weird. I started the week with pasta and I’m ending it with pasta. BOOK ENDING. I like the way this feels. It’s like watching a man mow his front lawn and noticing that he keeps missing this one itty bitty tiny little […]
Pipe Rigate with Sausage Ragu
You know how they say we eat for our blood type? Well I’m pretty much convinced mine is A Pasta. Or wait. Maybe they say we SHOULD eat for our blood type. In that case I’m A Pasta Tacos Mushrooms Pizza Cheese Wine. But hold on. Now that I think about it, I think it’s […]
Gemelli Pasta with Garden Greens and Pine Nuts
Whoa, Nelli Gemelli! (I know it’s really Nelly, but just go with me here.) Do you ever plan a meal based on a color you have in your head? Like a certain color palate? Or a little mental paint swatch? You’re shaking your head. Okay. A couple of weeks ago Jamie Oliver posted this shot […]
Sesame Noodles with Wilted Garden Greens
Welcome to the very last episode of Why Didn’t I think of That, the chronicle of a wandering, rebellious gypsy through the vast, open terrain of her companions’ masterminds, with the hopes of finding herself and the strength to carry on just one more day. (do what now?) We’ve had so much fun this week! […]
Triple Pasta Mash Up
‘Round here at the Halloweidner headquarters, we’ve definitely been on a scary movie rampage marathon extravaganza, and my soul is seriously feelin’ the remnants. Why do I do this? I’m already jumpier than a grasshopper. I’m already a paranoid lunatic on the loose. But I can’t stop. It’s like, my favorite thing ever! I make […]
Creamy Smothered Chicken with Mushrooms
I wish I was that piece of chicken. Well, before the whole teeth puncturing through me thing. But really, I wish I was that piece of chicken. But I wish I was that piece of chicken with a huge tongue. A huge slippery tongue so that I could lick everything on, above and under me. […]
Mexi-Mac ‘N Cheese and Tex-Mex Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Mex Mex Mex! Mex-a-Roo! Mex Mania! Mex to the Max! Mexa Moxa Mixa seriously end this already for the love before you throw yourself out the nearest window? Look. Imon’ be straight wicha. I accidentally made quite possibly the creamiest Macaroni and Cheese all spiced up Mexi-style. It’s actually quite difficult for my heart to […]
