I say spiral but I mean corkscrew but I feel like everyone understands spiral more so spiral is where we are. Coo? How’s it going out there? Everyone holed up, heads up and hangin’ tight? Same. Same. I kind of feel like we need pasta. Isn’t there some ancient folklore saying about carbs being the […]
Green Cabbage with Bacon and Carrots
Cabbage to the rescuuuuue! No like I really mean it. Cabbage. It’s such an understated veggie and yeah, notoriously blah, but listen! It lasts a good long time in the fridge and goes a long way. If you’re officially on lock down for 30 days starting this week (I’m in KC), go get you a […]
Friday Flotsam
Friiiiiiii…..day. Wow, what a week. Between school closures (for the rest of the year, omg), restaurants reduced to curbside only, and the news becoming grimmer and grimmer by the hour, the whole world just bottomed out, didn’t it? You know this already, I’m not here to magnify the negative. But I DID want to check […]
Creamy Potatoes with Spinach and Salmon
Comfort meets carbs meets fresh meets creamy = honey child, yes. It might not be the sexiest looking meal, but the physical reaction your body will have once this makes contact with your mouth is that one emoji with the brain exploding. And guess where the inspiration comes from. The Nightingale! Remember the part (this […]
DIY: Hand Sanitizer
Hi! How are you coping? 2020 is weird, right? But I’ve got something for you today juuuuust in case you need it at some point. Because hoarders be cray. Also, I decided back in, what – 2017 that I would no longer say “cray.” LOOK AT WHAT THIS VIRUS HAS DONE TO ME. Also also, […]
Friday Flotsam
Fri….day. Hey. Well, it’s just impossible for me to sit here at my laptop on this eerie Friday morning and pretend to churn out goofy stories about ankle socks or nose hair clippers when the whole world is being flipped upside down like it is. It just feels fake and inappropriate today. I’ve been purposely […]
Skillet Orzo with Roasted Broccoli, Mushrooms and Chickpeas
Hey hooo, my vegetariananians! (it’s a word.) Everything is absolutely bonkers wonk right now, so let’s focus on something that does us some good, k? Like creamy carbs + roasted veggies + crispy chickpeas + crunchy almonds. See, we’re already in a better mood! I think. So check it – all so simple. And see […]
Tex-Mex Chicken and Rice Soup
New favorite soup alert! And I mean it. Oh, do I mean it. And guess what – this falls into my UNDER TEN INGREDIENT meals! Well, it’s 11 in total, but I feel like you already have the pantry staples on hand, so in a way it’s like, six ingredients. And you might already have […]
Friday Flotsam
FRRRRREWERWERWERWRERday. Can we talk about guilty pleasures? Guys, I don’t think I have any! Is this sad? Reason I ask is, the other day my friend Trisha texted me about some song she loves and how it was a guilty pleasure, and I said to her, “But wait, why is it a guilty pleasure? I […]
Honey Mustard Chicken Sandwiches
And they’re lightly fried, let us rejoice. You know, I have to admit. I really do like a fried chicken sandwich. I don’t care who you are or what you do, chicken sandwiches have always been and will always be that food that makes everybody’s head turn a half notch and stomach growl a full […]
