I keep almost typing Oprah. Baked Oprah. These look crazy, I know I know I know. BUT (!!!) you’re going to freak out. This is quite possibly the easiest, most face-punchingly delicious way to eat okra ON THE PLAAANNNEETTTTTT. (said like baked Oprah) They’re baked! Aaaaand wait for it – not slimy. Not one bit. […]

Simple Corn Salsa

And I mean cotton-pickin’ simple. It’s the end of summer. We ain’t got no time for riff raff. Ain’t got no time for willy nilly. Ain’t got no time for whip snip dipper dap snickery do loo. (I don’t have answers.) This is so simple it’s plain silly. But I like it! I like silly. […]

Meatless Monday! By total accident. Before we begin, I’d like to point out my jankidy jank pregnant woman avocado slices. Rugged, jagged, burning rebels in their own form. I didn’t even care to make them pretty. But you know what? My feet and legs and back and pancreas hurts, so we get James Dean avocado […]

Creamy Vegetable Pasta

Fridaaaaay! Time for something creamy. Also, there’s frost on the ground. FA-ROST. I guess it makes sense, as it’s late October, but whoa-train. Also, how gross that I just said whoa-train. It might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever vocalized (but probably not) and I officially recoil it now. Oh! Name this movie: “ReeeeeCOIL, reeeeeeVERSE, […]
