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 […]

Tempeh and Black Bean Quesadillas
This is why I’m not a cakestress. Do you see my “awwww isn’t she just precious” attempt to “drizzle” a seductively smooth guacamole sauce on my quesadillas? Right. It started off as this brilliant idea that was going to change the FACE of this blog. I got so excited, jumping up and down to Aaron, […]
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 […]
Grilled Cedar Plank Salmon with a Corn and Pepper Relish
Remember when we memorialized on that one day last week? This here salmon is what we ate. Is it an oxymoron to ask if one remembers something memorial-y? Things that make you go HMMMM. I never liked that song. So, CEDAR PLANKS. Do you use ’em? Love ’em? Hate ’em? Swear by ’em? Practice your […]
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. […]
Hoagies with Italian Sausage, Roasted Cauliflower and Mushrooms
How you doin’? It would not be a spit’s length away from a lie to say I’ve watched Friends every single day for the past 18 years since its original air date in the fall of 1994. I was fresh out of high school and starting my first semester in college, experiencing a confusing phase […]
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, […]
Endive Boats and a Quick Chicken Dinner
It’s a double feature today, folks! Step right up! We got goat cheese. We got herbs. We got lox and endive and chicken. We got mushrooms. We got soup. We got foil and ‘sparagus and lickin’. It’s like MY EVERY OWN CARNIVAL IN MY MIND. Wait a minute, this is all wrong. If I’m the […]
Indian Lentil Saute with Kale and Asparagus
“She’s going out to eat some lentils. Who’s that girl, it’s Bev!”(lyrics have been changed to protect the innocent) Ugh. I can’t get it out of my head. See, I started watching New Girl from the beginning again because there are a bunch of episodes in the middle that I missed and I’m trying to […]
