Is it too late to declare this “GRAIN WEEK FOR THE SOUL?” How ’bout for the pancreas? Just kidding. I just realized with Sylvia on Monday and the quinoa biz yesterday and now THIS? All these mofo grainz, boyyyyy. By the time Friday gets here though I’ll have to call it “OPPOSITE OF GRAIN WEEK […]

Buffalo Cauliflower with a Yogurt Dipping Sauce
I can hardly contain myself right now. Would you mind if I told you why? WAIT WAS THAT A GROAN? First of all, remember when I told you all the liquid in my ear sacks spilled out onto the floor and I was dizzy and discombobulated and without a single trace of hope? WELL, they’ve […]
Chili-Roasted Vegetable Salad
IT’S THE MOST, WONDERFUL TIIIIME OF THE YEAAAAAAR. Freaking Christmas has taken over, you guys. Taken. Over. It’s in my eyes, ears, nose, hair follicles, skin pores, eyelashes, under my fingernails. It’s like, bad. I basically need to be punched. WITH THE KIDS JINGLE BELLING AND EVERYONE TELLING YOU BE OF GOOD CHEEEEEER. Hey, […]
Seared Shrimp Vindaloo with Vegetables
Okay so the only real thing vindaloo-y about this meal is the actual seasoning, but I’m a’ight with that. I like to think of this dish as my wingman. And it’s wearing some awesome Ray-Bans. Here we are, on the brink of what is about to be the barn door of belly poochapalooza. And I’m […]
Maple-Orange Sweet Potato Mash & Slow Cooker Creamed Corn
Let’s face it. You totally have your Thanksgiving meal all planned out. Signed, sealed, delivered. Hook, line and sinker. (wait, what?) Rollin’ with the homies. (what does that . . . what?) Skip to my Lou. (I’m sorry, who’s Lou?) Cuz I’m bad. (no, no you’re not.) Buuuut just in case you don’t, and your […]
Brussels Sprouts Salad with Seared Shrimp and Bacon
I’ve got some good news for you. But first, I don’t know how this happened, or when or why or where, given the 723 tubes of Burt’s Bees lip balm littering my house and life, but somehow over the last 12 to 24 hours my lips have become ever so slightly chapped, shifting into that […]
Crock Pot Chicken Stock
I swear all I ever want to do is talk about Gone Girl. I’m 77% through it and I CANNOT DO anything else but read the blasted thang. Talk about a screen clicker. Get it? Instead of a page turner? Because I’m reading it on an e-reader? And I click the screen? Instead of turn […]
Roasted Vegetable and Pesto Minestrone
This soup looks like my neighborhood right now. Okay and get this. Normally I don’t gravitate towards certain fallish colors, likes the brown and yellow hues. Now, the burnt oranges, deep reds and dark purples? Totally obsessed with. But THIS YEAR? This year I’m loving it all. ALL OF IT. I’m like a loose lion […]
Kale and Sage Pesto Crostini with Roasted Vegetables
Suuuuurpriiiiiiiiiise! Hey, Lisa. Hi, I’m talkin’ to you. Yeah, you. Suuuuurpriiiiiiiiise! It’s a baby shower! For you! And that baby boy that’s going to shoot out of you in like, what, three weeks? Woo hoo! I knew I loved Lisa before we even met. We roomed together this summer at BlogHer Food, but before that […]
Chicken and Black Rice-Stuffed Acorn Squash
We have an issue. It all started with an acorn squash. Okay two acorn squashes. And my overactive sweat glands. I’d decided that since it was October the 1st, I’d be a good American citizen girl of the Americas and stuff some squash. With yumminess like browned chicken, black rice, veggeroos and herbaroos. Which is […]
