Chipotle has ruined my life. It has ruined it so good because it is pretty much all I live for. I said PRETTY MUCH. The other day I’d spent an excruciating afternoon trying on new clothes so that I don’t look like an orphan at BlogHer Food in a couple of weeks. I gave the […]
Buffalo Turkey Burgers and a Grilled Chipotle Pork Tenderloin
Can you believe Memorial Day is like 5 minutes from now? Can you believe I totally spaced on it and picked a detox week right smack dab in the middle of one of the grillingest, drinkingest, party on the patio-ingest, oh oops I just fell in the pool with all of my clothes on-ingest weekends […]
Creamy Smoked Paprika Linguine
It’s hard to see with the naked eye, but there are actually winged baby cherubs flying around in this pasta. They flit. They float. They fleetly flee they fly. (name that movie) YOU GUYS. We need to talk about something. A few things. I’m nervous to tell you because if I vocalize it through my […]
Roasted Moroccan Chicken Salad
I don’t guess I need to go into detail about how loudly I screamed last night when you know who made it into the the Idol finale, do I? What about how ridiculously awesome I looked with imaginary pom poms cheering, “TWO FOUR SIX EIGHT WHO DO WE WANNA RUN AWAY WITH TO A REMOTE […]
Spicy Coconut Shrimp with Brown Rice
I’ve made a decision. Two decisions. Well, three. 1) For the rest of my life I’m going to douse everything I eat in coconut milk. 2) For the rest of my life I’m going to garnish everything I eat with coconut shavings. 3) For the rest of my life I’m going to avoid clothes shopping […]
Polenta Bruschetta and Pasta Salad Amazingness
Sometimes I just don’t have words. OH DON’T GIVE ME THAT LOOK. But really, sometimes there’s just nothing to say. I could try to tell how you much this polenta bruschetta rocks bawls. But you can look at that silky spinach pesto and little baby cherry tomato slices and seared plump shrimp and you know. […]
Asian-Style Steak Pizza
Sweet. Tangy. Pungent. Fresh. Surprising. Crispy. Tender. Choice. Delightful. Yummy. But I’m not here to talk about my electric personality, OHHHHH. Snap? Oh. This pizza idea was birthed in my brain after spotting a lone peanut on the kitchen counter one afternoon last week. I have no idea where it came from or how it […]
Vegetarian Stuffed Poblano Peppers
It’s Meatless Monday! Actually, I don’t even know what that is. Is it like a camp? Are there sign-up forms? Do we wear neon pink Umbro shorts with oversized No Fear t-shirts tucked into them? Because I still have mine. Although, mine say “His-Bro” because it was church camp. Yep. I gotta say though, I […]
Roasted Red Pepper Risotto with Spinach
Don’t you find making risotto so therapeutic? The saute of the onions, the toasting of the rice, the sizzle of the wine burning off, the pouring yourself a glass, the first ladle of the broth simmering in the absorbent-eager rice, the pouring yourself a second glass and noticing a tiny wrinkle on your neck . […]
Endive Boats and a Quick Chicken Dinner
It’s a double feature today, folks! Step right up! We got goat cheese. We got herbs. We got lox and endive and chicken. We got mushrooms. We got soup. We got foil and ‘sparagus and lickin’. It’s like MY EVERY OWN CARNIVAL IN MY MIND. Wait a minute, this is all wrong. If I’m the […]
