In my quest to make 4 million, 738 thousand, 617 burgers this summer, I decided that today was as good as any to make it all about the mushroom. I love mushrooms. I am so in love with mushrooms. The weirder the spelling, the better. The stranger the texture, bring it on. The funkier the […]
Any guesses? THIS IS SO NOT HARD.
Recently I discovered a most beautiful food blog on the interwebers. The kind of blog that makes you gasp at the crisp photos, salivate at the colorful food, and leaves you wondering why they haven’t invited you over for dinner every single night….ever. While perusing their site for inspiration for my own cooking, I fell […]
We’re harvesting quite a bit of broccoli right now from our garden. (I can sense every kid ever wincing right now. SICK DUDE. KEEP ME AWAY FROM THAT YARD. DON’T GIVE MY MOM GET ANY IDEAS.) Aside from the insano health benefits of broccoli, the little florets are almost candy-like in this simple pasta dish. […]
A few thoughts bouncing around in my brain hole today: * I really love Sophie B. Hawkins. * I really miss 90210. * I really hate bumble bees. * Why are they so BIG? * Why is the entire population of eastern Kansas pollinating my lil’ ole garden? * Speaking of my garden, YOWZA, it’s […]

When a day like today rolls around in the midwest, you stop, breath and take it in. The high is 80 degrees and the humidity has kindly done a disappearing act. I cry. To celebrate, I got out the blanket, my newest food magazines and made a most delightful lunch inspired by a recipe I […]
Mama, it’s HOT. Today I was in the middle of a patio deep clean and I’m absolutely sure my skin slid off my body and oozed onto the concrete. That’s pretty gross. Too gross for a food blog? Let me try this again. What a wonderful summer day we had! (better?) Gosh, the warmth of […]
When we were in Florida on vacation, (don’t give me that look) the ladies of the group decided to part with the surfing men for an afternoon and have a nice lunch together.
