f a r i d a YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAYAY. I STARTED WATCHING BIG LITTLE LIES LAST NIGHT. (terribly sorry to scream sort of.) But whoa! I’m in. In in in. The funny twist on this whole thing (no spoilers, I swear!) is that a while back, HBO wanted me to host a watch party, but it was […]
Turmeric Chicken Pasta
Because you need another chicken pasta recipe. NO, YOU DO. I could eat chicken pasta for days. There are kabatrillions of variations out there, all of which are fine and great and whatever. But I’m telling you, this Turmeric Chicken Pasta is going to punch every single one of them in the face. But first, […]
Monthly Mixtape: Hear the Rainbow
Is it just Kansas City, or is it a non-stop Niagara soak sitch for you, too? Not that I’m complaining! I L O V E rain. Sosososososomuch. Love it like something psycho. But. It’s starting to cramp my steeeez, man. And my kids’ steezes. And my house painters’ steezes. And my sandal’s steezes. And I’ll […]
Friday Flotsam
F riday. !!! WHAT IS INSTAPOT? Sorry to scream at you first thing in the morning. But like, what the heck is Instapot!? I see them e v e r y w h e r e on everyone’s feeds and I still can’t wrap my head around what […]
Buffalo Chicken Hoagies
Because buffalo. THIS is a total hack meal. Especially on school nights. Hack hack hack. But it doesn’t feel like it because of the thinly sliced red onion, bacon love notes, baby crumbles of blue cheese and whispers of cilantro. But it is. It’s all a hack. Let me show you the hacking ways. It’s […]
The Easiest Fresh Pasta
And you don’t even need a machine! (besides your miiiiiiiiieeeeend) The other morning I was flipping through an old magazine in one of those teensy, stale claustrophobic waiting rooms, purple half-gown draped over my shoulders before proceeding to get my chee chees flattened to crepes, (<–life of a 40-year old) when I noticed a torn […]
Friday Flotsam
F a r i d a y y y y a y. I went to my very first floral arranging class last night! Wait, floral arranging, or flower arranging? I guess floral. Or flower. Or florer. Or flowal. Or stop? It was SO.INTERESTING. Except, by the end of the night I called the florist my […]
Slow Cooker Ranch Chicken Nachos
We’re going to pretend I’m super into March Madness right now. Because nachos! Nachos aren’t really even game food. I mean, they ARE. But for me they’re more like, get-in-my-face-all-the-dang-time food. I have a love/hate relationship with nachos. The LOVE part? Uh, how can one not appreciate a giant platter of crunchy carbs topped with […]
Shrimp Po’ Boy Panzanella
Also known as, salad night just got awesome. Do you salad night? I say it like it’s a verb. But it is. Salad night. It’s an action! We salad night once or twice a week, normally on Monday nights. I’ve been trying to jazz it up lately (don’t tell anyone I just said jazz it […]
Friday Flotsam
FRIDAYEEEEEAAAAEEEEAAAAEEEEEAAAAAAY. Tell me about matcha tea. Is it a bunch of hocus pocus mumbo jumbo? Or does it REALLY WORK? Is it like those nasty foot pad thingies from 10 years ago that suck out all of the toxins – omg do you remember those?! The first time I saw those I was so freaking […]
