It’s only June. I’m scared.
Crazy Chicken with Skillet Potatoes and Swiss Chard
When we were in Florida on vacation, (I swear this is the last time) not only did I pick up a most exotic espresso steak rub at a local spice shop, but I also scored an awesomely titled spice blend, “Crazy Chicken.” “Crazy Chicken” – seriously, who wouldn’t buy that? I smelled it and you […]
Sneak Peek
Any ideas what’s on the menu?
A Trip to the Farmer’s Market. AKA Disney World for Foodies.
I’ve been anxiously waiting for the Farmer’s Market to be open during the week. I’m fine with it on the weekends, of course, but something about a mid-week trip screams, “I’M ON TOP OF THE WORLD!” Actually, I think that was Leonardo DiCaprio, but whatever.
Off to the farmer’s market! And I don’t even have makeup on. Yay for life! (Did she really just say that?)
Roasted Eggplant Burgers
When we were in Florida on vacation, (don’t give me that look) the ladies of the group decided to part with the surfing men for an afternoon and have a nice lunch together. Of course it was picturesque, outdoors, next to water and next to sand. We’d found our place. Scanning the menu, I decided […]
Tempeh and Black Bean Tacos
When we were in Florida on vacation, (hey, I warned you) my sister-in-law and I discovered a most charming Mexican food place that side of the Mississippi. Both sharing an addiction for the cuisine, we high-tailed it there after circling the address in a local brochure. Now, you might think of most Mexican food as […]
Espresso Steak Salad
You’ll have to forgive me as it’s possible that over the next 4 or so weeks, I’ll most likely start every post with, “When we were in Florida on vacation…” Just saying it now. When we were in Florida on vacation, we spent a handful of afternoons in the historic part of downtown St. Augustine, […]
Garden Pasta with Seared Shrimp
After a rental car trip from St. Augustine to Jacksonville, 2 flights with a stop in Dallas, a shuttle bus to our car in the economy parking lot, and the half hour treck to our house, we made it home. Tired, sunburned and one of us with a broken toe due to surfing (not me) […]
We’re back!
We’re back! And boy oh boy, have we found ourselves a luscious garden. I’ll share more soon, but for now, to prepare a simple garden dinner and keep Aaron away from peeling my sunburned skin. Too much?
