So we started demo last night. And I HAYELPED. (name that 80s commercial.) Aside from the fact that there are only 8 gaping holes in our walls with tree limbs poking through and birds flying in and out, I think we did a fantastic job! And by “we” I mean “totally not we.” I’m also […]
Italian Sausage with Broccolini and Grapes
Leave it to the cool culinary cat Mark Bittman to add grapes to a savory dish. Grapes! I can’t believe I just called someone a cat. Does this mean I have to join a swing band now? Of course I know he didn’t invent adding grapes to something and I know I’ve seen it […]
Mediterranean Couscous with Grilled Vegetables
This meal might have forgotten to show up for hair and makeup, but maaaaaan the taste is going to stop you in your TRACKS. You know those little boxes of couscous that come with the little seasoning packets in them? No, no, not macaroni and cheese (although I would donate my pancreas to eat that […]
Hot Ham and Cheese Dip
Well that’s over. What am I supposed to do with my time now that March Madness is behind us!? Oh, right. Finish Downton Abbey. But I only have half an episode left and we’re watching it tonight and THEN WHAT? Oh, right. Look at Phillip Phillips. But that’s only twice a week and WAAAAH. Oh, […]
Penne Pasta in a Roasted Beet Sauce
Guess how incredibly lame we are! And by “we” I’m referring to myself and my husband, a pair of old, pathetic party animals who just can’t hang with these kids today. And by “hang” I mean stay up past 9:30pm. This is embarrassing. Get ready. So, okay. Today is our 7th wedding anniversary. (Thank […]
Cauliflower Stuffed Tomatoes
Hi! So it’s Saturday and I wouldn’t normally bug you this morning, BUT I have to show you these cauliflower stuffed tomatoes topped with BACON before I come undone at the seams. Let me ask – are you watching KU play tonight? (because you need to.) I have an idea – you should totes watch […]
Chicken Meatball Sub Sandwiches
I’m pretty sure I was supposed to be British. English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, SOMETHING with a cool accent that makes me feel smart. I know this to be true because we’re in Downton Abbey overdrive and closing in on season two and things were so cray cray back then! I want to hear Lord Grantham […]
Chipotle Shrimp Salad Bowls
What started out as a sinless, innocent puppy love back in my college years, hath quickly and destructively grown into a full-blown, no holds barred, unmanageable, MUST HAVE OR DAH, injurious addiction. Chipotle. I freaking love Chipotle. Like bawd. In our house, you can often hear things like this coming from our mouths. Me, “I’m […]
Prosciutto-Wrapped Salmon with Roasted Vegetables
Did I have you at “Prosc?” Fo’ serious. I’m not sure of a finer way to serve dinner than to wrap it in Italian cured ham. And you should be very proud as my maturity level has spiked an entire 12% this morning as I attempt to not make inappropriate jokes revolving around the previous […]
Biscuit Fish Tacos and Asparagus Pesto Pasta
Believe it. What your eyeballs are peeping right now is the absolute fist bumpin’ truth. Fish tacos wrapped. in. buttermilk. biscuits. Now, I can’t actually take credit for this 8th wonder of the world, as someone already doth created this masterful recipe for the annual Pillsbury Bake-Off. Well, the insanely popular event kicked off again […]
