One month down, 11 to go! Not that I’m counting. How do you feel about February? It’s totally a weird month, right? It’s like, V COLD. But spring is on the radar. It’s the month of luuuuv, but you’re also starting to wrap your head around the reality of death taxes. Which is a buzz […]

It’s so weird, I know! But hear me out. HARK MEH. We accidentally made this dinner the other night when I felt like we had NOTHING IN THE HOUSE TO EAT WAAAAAH. You know those nights. The kitchen sink nights. Well this wasn’t just any kitchen sink night. No siree, Bob. It ended up being […]
Friday Flotsam
Fridayyyyyyyyyiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaah. I used to powder my armpits. Like when I was in elementary school and junior high. Maybe even part of high school. I would powder my armpits. Like, before putting on deodorant. I powdered. With a giant white puff and a small cream plastic tub with a dainty light pink floral design around it. […]
Creamy Beef and Gnocchi Soup
Things are about to change for you, I can feel it. And taste it. Because this. THIS. It’s like, one step. Plus a few more. So like three steps total. And one step is pure weeping. You know I’m Queen Soup, don’t argue with me. This is going to be that soup that’s on the […]
Mushroom and Barley Risotto
With prosciutto crisps! Don’t punch me in the pancreas, vegetarians. Have you ever swapped in barley in place of arborio rice? Oh man you should. It’s crazy. Totally new take on risotto. I’m not new to barley risotto, I just hardly ever make it or think about it. Which isn’t rightly selling this, is it. […]

Grass-fed Beef, Mushroom and Kale Lasagna
With no-boil lasagna sheets! They’re no-boil. The sheets. I know everyone has a fave recipe for a killer lasagna. I ain’t trying to reinvent the casser-wheel. But! It’s winter and freezing and icy and slick and bitter and snowy and polar-y and your soul need layers and layers of cheese and carbs. True fact. So […]
