See these here enchiladas? Yeah, I pretty much saved your life with these. But oh, let’s start at the very beginning. Things started off swimmingly! Just as I had planned. Every ingredient and step was lined out in my head that would make these shredded beef enchiladas so top drawer, you’d scoff at the idea […]
Turmeric Chicken with Coconut Wild Rice
I swear I could put lime and cilantro on everything ever. You must feel like all you read on this blog is, “AND GARNISH WITH LOTS OF LIME AND CILANTRO OR ELSE YOU’LL GROW TWO HEADS AND HAVE ALLIGATOR SKIN BY MORN’.” You poor thing! I put it on tacos, in soups, on stir […]
Sausage, Fennel and Asparagus Pizza (& A Chocolate Giveaway!)
So it’s February and we’re grilling pizza. Outside. In the OUTDOORS. But you don’t rightly care because there is a chocolate giveaway at the end of this post. I know how you people work. But hold on to your cheelahs because I really need to blab about this pizza for an hour or 40. It […]
Shrimp and Grits, and King Cake Jelly Shots
Oh, hi! I’m just letting the good times roll over here. Letting. Them. Roll. And maaaan are they rolling. I can’t even begin to describe all of the rolling of the good times that are rolling right now. Talk about rolling. Those good times? They roll. Am I annoying you yet because I’m about to […]
Red Quinoa with Swiss Chard, Mushrooms and Purple Cauliflower
No, no. Barney the dinosaur did not in fact explode all over my quinoa. That’s some real life purple cauliflower rawt thar. Have you ever seen such a thing? Well guess what, CLASS. I did a little research on these beauts, so get out your #2 and some notebook paper and let’s get LEARNT. And […]
Roasted Root Vegetables with Lentils
Talk about a simple dinner, you guys. And I mean seeeeemple. So simple it almost makes you mad. So simple that when it almost made you mad, you got happy again because you realized that when you got mad, it wasn’t because of how simple this dinner was. It was in fact because you missed […]
Chicken Pesto Minestrone
Something is happening to my brain. And it’s starting to scare me. It all started with the most devastating news ever ever ever. Whitney. When I found out, of course I spent the next 36.5 hours cradling my laptop, glued to YouTube, singing along through unruly sobs to I Will Always Love You. And things […]
Green Curry Chicken
These bowls right here? The ones in this picture? Oh – they are pretty cute, aren’t they? (T.J.Maxx. I KNOW.) But it’s what’s in them that can move mountains. Part seas. Launch rockets. Birth baby eagles. Tame frizzy hair. Celine Dion better MOVE OVER because I’m about to write the hittest of all hit songs […]
Fresh Lobster with Potatoes and Corn
Well, that was. . . interesting. Aaron and I decided on having fresh lobster this year for our official Valentine’s meal, last September. (I like planning!) And yes sir, I mean buying the lobster ALIVE and cooking it ourselves. We experienced the whole rigamaroo 4.5 years ago when we were visiting family in Boston. And […]
Simple Black Beans and Rice
I was going to wait and make this after Valentine’s day, but when I made the mistake of verbalizing the week’s list of potential dinners to Aaron, he interrupted me at “black beans and ri–” with, “YES. YES. MAKE THAT TODAY. I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE REST OF THE LIST. JUST MAKE BLACK BEANS AND […]
