Okay, so it’s not really a RECIPE recipe. But it is our weekly go-to vegetarian Greek night meal! And I don’t think you’re going to hate it or me. The only real cooking you’ll do is the cauliflower. But I have a top secret James Bond trick to tell you, and you can’t tell ANYONE […]
Friday Flotsam
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaahrillyrooday. THE HANDMAID’S TALE. (how can I not just jump in. also, no spoilers! praise be.) I have two to go. Two left. Only two. AND I WILL SAY, the last two episodes that I watched didn’t leave me wanting to sell my eyeballs and heart on Ebay. I survived them! With very little damage. […]
Roasted Cauliflower Soup
First slurp fest of the year! And it’s roasted. It’s all roasted. Praise be. (<–name that show.) If you’re not into cauliflower (WHO ARE YOU), I hiiiighly recommend taking a stab at roasting it. Cauliflower isn’t true cauliflower unless it’s been roasted to smithereens. But first, let’s talk about how simple this soup is. And […]
Monthly Mixtape: Everything Old is New Again
Aaaaaaaand it’s 2018. How? HOW! h o w. I’m actually quite eager for the new year, unlike grumpy mcfuss pants. ^ I don’t MIND January. Kind of like it, truthfully. It’s that one month of the year where goals and motivation and fresh starts are bouncing around the cerebral walls like teenage butterflies on Taylor […]
Blue Cheese, Bacon and Candied Pecan Puff Pastry Bites
I put blue cheese first in the title because BLUE CHEESE. Okay, let’s talk about New Year’s Eve, please. What do you do?! Venture out? Hermit in? Invite your best pals over to play Pictionary? (“Draw something resembling ANYTHING.” <–name that movie.) Stay up past midnight? Go to bed at 8pm like normal? GUYS, I’m […]
Pork Meatballs and Penne with a Creamy Mustard Butter Sauce
Best strand of words in the history of ever. I got this wild hair the other day when I came up with the idea for this recipe. Me, “I want to make a creamy mustard butter sauce!” Aaron, “A what?” Me, “A creamy mustard butter sauce.” Aaron, “Mustard with cream and butter?” Me, “Yes! Over […]
Shortcut Pizza Bites!
Bites, Nuggets, Bombs, Gobs, Blasts. You know. GUYS. The gremlins are about to be home, in my house, in my face, under my feet, in my way, in the air, for t w o w e e k s. (send wine.) So I made pizza rolls! For myself! Just kidding, for them. And myself. And […]
Friday Flotsam
Frudil. I mean Fraler. I mean Frezkes. I mean Fromoo. I mean Friday. So last night I watched The Family Stone (I always call it Romancing the Family Stone because I’m that tool.) and while it’s SO SAD AND SO UNCOMFORTABLE AND SO WONDERFUL AND SO AWKWARD to watch, do you want to know what […]
Shepherd’s Pie Waffle Fry Stackers
YES I’M THAT PERSON WHO PUT SHEPHERD’S PIE ON WAFFLE FRIES. (sorry to scream.) I think the question is, why wouldn’t we? Plus it’s been forever since I’ve had a good ol’ waffle cut fry, so the idea of a crunchy, baked carby canoe o’ bliss shoveling all that beefy shepherd’s pie filling straight into […]
Sausage and Smoked Gouda Phyllo Cups
Four ingredients. FOUR. Four! f o u r. And one of them is cheese, so you’re clearly already ahead in life. Let’s talk Christmas appetizers! My goal here for you is ease. You know those old-school sausage cheese balls that we all made in the ’80s and ’90s for the church potlucks? OKAY, it’s that, […]
