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. […]
Thai Three-Bean Salad
I’ve been just Thai-ing to show you this. You’re already mad at me. I created this recipe for my in-laws’ huge annual 4th of July pool party in Fayetteville. I was absurdly excited about it, until I set it down on the serving table next to exactly 38426534 other salads. Blast! It was still good […]
Mediterranean Lentil Salad
Bonjouuuuur mon amiiii, merci pour toi, fermer la porrrrrrte. I’m obviously awesome at French. I took four years in school. I was even the teacher’s aid one year. FERMER LA JEALOUSYYY. So it’s a big holiday week and guess what!! We’re eating clean. Is this sacrilegious? Je ne sais pas. I also realize I’m calling […]
Potato and Pepper Pizza with a Roasted Garlic Thyme Sauce
Carbs on carbs. Just the way I like it. But it’s not even that, fully. It’s mostly that. It’s probably 65% that. It’s the sauce! It’s 37% the sauce. Because it’s (A LOT of) roasted garlic, fresh thyme, a touch of cream and a little bit of silky olive oil. BA-LENDED. It’s probably 47% the […]
Indian Roasted Potato Salad with Swiss Chard
Now this is a salad. But not like salad salad. More like SALAD, BABY. Actually, when I made it, Aaron and I tasted it together and I said, “It’s hearty! Definitely could be a side dish.” But he spoke right at the same time and said, “Whoa! This is definitely more like a salad.” So […]
Sun-Dried Tomato and Mascarpone Grilled Cheese Sandwich
I just figured out your new favorite lunch of all time. It involves sun-dried tomatoes (yes, again). And mascarpone cheese. And the grainiest, sproutiest bread you can find. A kiss and half of butter. Your giddy pants. Like always, I buy a tub of the mascarpone cheese with a fat stash of plans to make […]
Baked Spicy Cornbread Croutons
As in CORNBREAD cornbread. Moist (sorry) yet crumbly (sorry.) Dense (sorry?) yet light (not sorry?) Spicy (no need to be sorry) yet sweet (nowhere near sorry.) Are you already worn out? Sorry. Remember the game Sorry? Me, too. That’s all I had to say. Anytime I say the word sorry I say it like Gilly […]
Chipotle Black Bean Burgers
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, […]
