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 […]

Lighter, Creamy Pasta Salad
I swear it’s lighter don’t look at me like that! On top of that, it’s meeeega retro. Which come on, is the only true way to approach a classic pasta salad. Because to me, there are a few necessary components to a pasta salad that makes it even worth anything at all. Let’s discuss. Well, […]
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Kale, Chicken and Bacon
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 […]

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?

Risotto with Shrimp, Bacon and Zucchini
And peas! Risotto with Shrimp, Bacon, Zucchini and Peas. The peas part. I’d like to think of this mess as a late summer kitchen sink risotto thingy. I MEAN, you can make it any time of year really. But right now it’s summer, so I’m calling it summer. Only because the shrimp isn’t in season […]
Israeli Couscous Salad with Asparagus and Bacon
Beautiful. Bright. Glorious. But now let’s talk about this salad. This mess is straight up (now tell me) out of control. First of all, look at that color! Don’t you want to punch it in the shin? I don’t eat enough Israeli couscous. Truthfully, I kind of forgot about it, until I spotted it in […]
Mini Kale, Bacon and Pea Pizzas
Don’t you just love all those words back to back? And yes I was tempted to type “pea-zas” but I like having human friends. Can I tell you how much my kids like kale? And I’m seriously not trying to be that obnoxious show-off mom who’s like, “Ohhhh your kids don’t like kaaaale because miiiiine […]
