Totally unexpected. Dill weed pesto = my new jam. I had no idea the glory that would unfold within the lining of my mouth when I placed but a single fingertip of this inside it. And it was such a random, last minute decision, combining toasted pecans with garlic, cheese, olive oil and dill weed. […]

Italian Sausage and Pepperoni Stromboli
I’m not even a little bit sorry. You know sometimes when you’re just doing your thing, like sweeping the living room floor and singing “Reflections” by the Supremes into the tip of the broom, and a random taste appears in your mouth out of nowhere, and you’re like WHAT IS THAT. WHAT. IS. THAT. And […]
Loaded Italian Chicken Sub Sandwiches
I heard a weather report not long ago that offered some pretty strong advice for how to handle these insane drought conditions. I did. Yeah, the guy basically said the only solution right now for this national crisis is massive consumption of loaded Italian chicken sub sandwiches. But he laid it out very simply, so […]
Slow Cooker Pork Burritos
Oh look it’s July and I turned my crock pot on. AAAW LAAWWD. Actually, I think I might declare crock pots to be the new summer appliance of choice. BECAUSE, I would put my hands all around it from time to time to test just how much heat it emits and it’s basically nil, you […]
Spinach/Artichoke Mac ‘N Cheese Cups and Grilled Bourbon Bacon Burgers
I’m baaaaack. And I no longer look like Hurricane Insano struck me 4 hundred billion times. I got SO much sleep last night I’m still kind of freaking out about it. I tried to sleep on the plane yesterday morning, but this old man with an eagle slash wolf bandana covering part of his gray […]
Pasta Fresca and Mini Tex-Mex Chicken and Cheese Pies
Come hither. Sit. Two unexpected yet irrevocably significant things happened to me a few days ago, and I feel it’s only right to tell you. It all happened so fast and at the time I wasn’t even sure of what was actually occurring. I’m still trying to process it all and come to an answer, […]
Buffalo Turkey Burgers and a Grilled Chipotle Pork Tenderloin
Can you believe Memorial Day is like 5 minutes from now? Can you believe I totally spaced on it and picked a detox week right smack dab in the middle of one of the grillingest, drinkingest, party on the patio-ingest, oh oops I just fell in the pool with all of my clothes on-ingest weekends […]
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 […]
Hot Ham and Cheese Dip
Well that’s over. What am I supposed to do with my time now that March Madness is behind us!? Oh, right. Finish Downton Abbey. But I only have half an episode left and we’re watching it tonight and THEN WHAT? Oh, right. Look at Phillip Phillips. But that’s only twice a week and WAAAAH. Oh, […]
Prosciutto-Wrapped Salmon with Roasted Vegetables
Did I have you at “Prosc?” Fo’ serious. I’m not sure of a finer way to serve dinner than to wrap it in Italian cured ham. And you should be very proud as my maturity level has spiked an entire 12% this morning as I attempt to not make inappropriate jokes revolving around the previous […]
