Siiiiiiiiiiimple simple simple simple. Super simple. It’s almost embarrassing. By the way, did you have a nice weekend? I feel like I never ask how you are. Is that rude of me? Because I want to know. I seriously do! Can I just tell you that I started reading Gone Girl Friday night and I’m […]
Thin Crust Pizza with Caramelized Onions, Sausage and Roasted Red Peppers
Story time! Wait, did you just GROAN? I spent most of my formative years in Hobbs, New Mexico. Way out in the desert with tumbleweeds and dust and sleeveless muscle shirts. So from the ages of 9 to 19, if my family had any major shopping to do, like back-to-school style, we drove two hours […]
Savory Galette
So I went to Arkansas last week. Did you know that? No? I totally went to Arkansas last week. Took meeself a leetle roadtreep. All by myself! I drove my husband’s Honda Element for 14 hours all.by.myself. I’ve done this once before so I have no idea why I’m so braggalicious right now. And it […]
Mexi-Mac ‘N Cheese and Tex-Mex Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Mex Mex Mex! Mex-a-Roo! Mex Mania! Mex to the Max! Mexa Moxa Mixa seriously end this already for the love before you throw yourself out the nearest window? Look. Imon’ be straight wicha. I accidentally made quite possibly the creamiest Macaroni and Cheese all spiced up Mexi-style. It’s actually quite difficult for my heart to […]
Mini Vegetarian Shepherd’s Pies
Sooo, does a white plush robe, a broken wooden spoon, and my guidance towards little green lentils into a pot make me a shepherd? Hey, I just drove 14 hours all by my lonesome. I’m a little delirious in the membririous. I made these mini lentil sheps last week before I left for Arkansas and […]
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 […]
Mexican Meatball Soup
Meatball-eh meatball-eh! Okay. I’m already royally scrizzed for this month. See, Aaron and I have this tradition. And I should know better, really. Each Halloween we watch scary movies. And they’re across the board scary. Like, Scream-scary, Rosemary’s Baby-scary, Poltergeist-scary, Joan Rivers documentary-scary. Anything goes. But a couple of days ago we accidentally totally on […]
Buffalo Chicken Pull-Apart Bread
Oh dear. Oh oh oh dear. We’re talking, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up-stuff here, folks. Actually, the first fall took place on September 19th, 2012 when Kelly posted her Pepperoni Pizza Pull-Apart Bread. I ’bout had 13.5 conniptions right then and there. Ugh, and it’s so unfair. She made what’s basically a wet […]
Chili Bread Bowls
Time for çheelee! That’s the way I say çhili. Cheelee. And you have to raise your eyebrows real high like those çreepy çartoony çharaçters in Soundgarden’s old video Blaçk Hole Sun. And the L sound has to be really enunçiated, like to the point where there’s almost spit in the çorners of your mouth. And […]
Shrimp Nicoise Salad
This salad occurred last week. And it occurred le big. Have you ever nicoised your pants off before? UGH, before we continue, I can’t figure out how to make that little hooky thing under the c in nicoise. Ya know what I’m talking about? That little hook? It’s like a little crow bar? Half of […]
