I guess we should eat something good for us. If we have to. ACTUALLY, this is one of those trickster salads. The kind that when you’re making it you’re like, “uuuugh.” But then you take the first bite and you’re like, “ooooh.” And then you keep taking bites and you’re like, “whoaaaa.” And then a […]

Park Day with Ze Freeeenz
This is a post about going to the park with my friends because I can’t seem to cook jack lately. Park days are good. You play games, sip wine, gossip with girlfriends, flip through magazines, lose track of time and pee in the trees. I didn’t say *I* pee in the trees. I said you. […]

Cast-Iron Skillet Chicken Pot Pie {Tablespoon Tuesdays}
I don’t even care if it’s June and I’m showing you comfort food. Don’t even care. Because I’m a firm believer in comfort food being less about seasons, and more about the hankerings of the fairies that burrow deep within your soul lining. Because when those fairies get a craving for something, and they come […]

Oh that’s right. With real life Fritos and everything. I wanted to call this “Totally Healthier Frito Pie,” because it really kind of is. With the use of ground turkey, fresh veggies, some good kidney and pinto beans, some termaters, spices, corn, a piece of your heart, lightly salted Frito chippies and some good cheddar […]
