A road trip through Missouri, at last! Even better, it was in autumn while the leaves were changing and she was showing off all of her gorgeous colors. So, okay, we basically had three days to do 87 million (fun!) things across my neighboring state, and did we achieve it? Heck yeah, we did. Missouri […]
Vegetarian Minestrone
Wait, is all minestrone vegetarian? Let’s not google it. I’m leaving the title. Also I’m leaving the chicken stock. So it’s not FULLY vegeta- never mind. This soup is a cold-weather-no-brainer. Beans and pasta for guts, loads of veggies for HAYELTH, some fire-roasted tomatoes because this is rebellion in the middle age, and a hit […]
Friday Flotsam
FLAAAEEEERRRRRRRTTTTsam. Tell me what makes you HAPPY. And no, we’re going to get all therapyish here. Do you know me at all? I’m just genuinely curious – what makes you the happiest? And I’m not really talking about the broad scope of life – family, friends and health. Not that. Let’s go tiny. Let’s get […]
Risotto with Tomatoes, Ham and Arugula
This gets real. This gets very real. Next time you see thick cubed ham in a vacuum-packed thingy, get it. It’s right next to the Canadian bacon. Because we’re about to make the hardiest risotto ya ever did know. But also we’re sliding in velvety arugula so it’s basically vegan! Just kidding. Don’t come at […]
Monthly Mixtape: Wispy Winds and Foamy Rims
YES I SAW THE TAYLOR SWIFT TOUR DATES! (sorry to scream) I probably won’t sleep until I’ve successfully secured tickets for me and Nat, but that’s neither hither nor thither. (Also, I know my site looks weird. We had mega technical issues over the weekend but we’re slowly getting back to normal. Maybe.) It’s November! […]
Friday Flotsam
Flotsam is baaaaaaaaaaaa! – oh, no one noticed? One person did? Well anyway, Flotsam is baaaaaaaaaack! Wide-legged denim. (some of you are like, peace out) I need some DES-PER-ATE help in this arena. I have a lot of wide legged pants, but no denim. And what I mean is, FULL LENGTH. Like, to-my-shoes jeans. I’m […]
Broccoli, Ham and Gruyere Quesadillas
My favorite new quesadilla ever, no big deal. I also happen to think they’re super fun and criminally flavorful. ROASTED broccoli and shallots, first of all. Yes. And then your favorite deli ham for extra savory fulfillment. (that sounded like an Amazon fulfillment center, but you get what I mean. I think.) Let us peepeth! […]
Mini Pear Pies
You didn’t think Thanksgiving could be so cute, did ya? And listen to this, I made these mini, like single serves, but you could definitely just tuck them all into one pie crust like a normal person. I changed it up though and added brown sugar and cinnamon and butter! (oh my?) La-het us peepeth. […]
Creamy Sausage, Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup
Another soup! You’re not upset, are you? This time, we’re going a little more creamy. With Italian sausage. And two mushrooms. And wild rice! It’s a dream, in other words. Let us peepeth. Okay, so the wild rice we’ll violently throw in a rice cooker. This way you can start it early (I feel like […]
Barley Bowls with Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Kale and Pears
I always have to make sure I don’t type barely. BARELY BOWLS. This isn’t that. It’s barley. You know I love a good grain bowl. Especially in the fall. I feel like autumn and grain bowls are lovers meant to be. Like Romeo and Juliet minus all the deaths. AND this one is vegetarian! I […]
