It’s my blawgiversary! My blawgirthday. My blirthday. I’m now a blog-a-toddler. A bloddler. I’m 1! Isn’t that weird? A whole entire year into this thing and I still know absolutely nothing. And guess what I’m doing today. I think it’s rather poetic if I have any say in this life. I’m headed on a midnight […]
Tempeh and Black Bean Quesadillas
This is why I’m not a cakestress. Do you see my “awwww isn’t she just precious” attempt to “drizzle” a seductively smooth guacamole sauce on my quesadillas? Right. It started off as this brilliant idea that was going to change the FACE of this blog. I got so excited, jumping up and down to Aaron, […]
Bulgur Salad with Spinach, Pine Nuts and Asparagus
Hearty summer grain salads are ALL THE RAGE RIGHT NOW. Could you tell I was using my best car salesman voice? Actually they would say, “GIT YER BULGUR SALAD BEFORE IT’S GONE GONE GONE.” Why do car sales people repeat words? “I’m sorry honey, I know we were in the middle of fertilizing the flower […]
Grilled Cedar Plank Salmon with a Corn and Pepper Relish
Remember when we memorialized on that one day last week? This here salmon is what we ate. Is it an oxymoron to ask if one remembers something memorial-y? Things that make you go HMMMM. I never liked that song. So, CEDAR PLANKS. Do you use ’em? Love ’em? Hate ’em? Swear by ’em? Practice your […]
Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole
I blame America’s Funniest Home Videos. It’s quite the hazardous show if I have any say in this. You see, I made a boo-boo. And I am a little grossed out that I just typed “boo-boo” and evenly amazed that I’m not backspacing over it. Anyway, I was on a MISSION. A MEAL PLANNING MISSION. […]
Hoagies with Italian Sausage, Roasted Cauliflower and Mushrooms
How you doin’? It would not be a spit’s length away from a lie to say I’ve watched Friends every single day for the past 18 years since its original air date in the fall of 1994. I was fresh out of high school and starting my first semester in college, experiencing a confusing phase […]
Pasta Fresca and Mini Tex-Mex Chicken and Cheese Pies
Come hither. Sit. Two unexpected yet irrevocably significant things happened to me a few days ago, and I feel it’s only right to tell you. It all happened so fast and at the time I wasn’t even sure of what was actually occurring. I’m still trying to process it all and come to an answer, […]
Free-Form Vegetarian Lasagna
I love it when food has attitude. Like this. This lasagna is practically standing in a big open field with braids and flowers in its hair and a huge sign, “Whatever, I’m free-form. Wanna make something of it? And by the way, I just burned my bra.” It’s lasagna without much willy nilly. There’s […]
Watermelon Spritzers with Lemon and Honey
I know. Just laugh it out now and you’ll feel better. I just figured, if I can’t beat . . . myself, join . . . myself? Wait, that’s not it. When I figure out how it goes, I’ll get back to you. But guess who was pleasantly surprised with the refreshing beverage of the […]
Pan-Seared Salmon For One
I don’t WANT to annoy the living tar out of you. I don’t. So let me just get this teeny tiny thing out of the way real quick before we begin, cool? Just bear with me. …..sweet Lordy Lou almighty beans of the earth he diddly done won it. Not that this was a shocker, […]
