I’m basically giving us the green light to get our slurp on. You good with that? (duh, you are.) Today’s kick-off to soup season is a simple, rustic, delicious doozy. I went to ALDI not long ago, completely salivating over the idea of a beefy soup, but with tortellini in it. Cheese tortellini. Had to […]
Because when they’re mini you can eat five. #math And they might not technically be pot pies because there’s not a pie layer on the bottom. Or the top. It’s puff pastry because we’re polished and refined, doi. But who cares because they’re incredibly rich and filling but also not a complete gut bomb and […]
Just warning you now, it’s pasta aaaaaall week! (I felt that collective soul nod.) It would be sacrilegious otherwise, being V-day at the end of this week. Or, Balemtime’s Bay as I call it because I’m a complete turd. But you don’t rightly care because I’m finally posting my slow-roasted tomato sauce pasta thingy! It’s […]
Face plant right into that? Don’t mind if I do. Let’s be honest, when was the last time you thought about a meatloaf? Yeah, forever never ago, so I’m bringing sexy back. Because look at that, we’re baking it in a zingy crushed tomato sauce and wait, are you batting your eyes already? Knew it. […]
OKAY. I’m about to change your mind on eggplant. Because I know approximately 84% of you just read “eggplant” and knee-jerk threw your laptop into a goldfish pond. I know. But this is the thing (!) – we were at the Farmer’s Market a few weekends back, and you know how you always see those […]
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 […]
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 […]
This is winter in your mouth. Minus the snow. YOU GUYS. I keep checking our long range forecast, and there’s zero snow. Zilch. There WAS snow in it, but it vanished after being in the forecast for 12 minutes and I now want to cry. This is crap, MIDWEST. I demand snow. Anyway. Biscuits. You […]
This is one of those “let-the-farmer’s-market-guide-me” meals. Are you annoyed? BECAUSE holy hail. It is crazy. Simple and crazy. Not crazy like, “She’s got a knife in her purse!” or, “Is she really listening to Michael Bolton right now?” But crazy. So crazy that we’ve made it twice and I still want to punch it […]
It’s not what you think. This isn’t a taco salad bowl. Or a burrito bowl. Not really even a Straw Hats bowl. (even though it has fritos in it so don’t get all loco on me.) It’s a MEXICAN FIESTA BOWL – a) because that’s what my mom calls it, and b) apparently I used […]
