Cheesy Corn Grits with Fiery Shrimp
I’ve never understood why it’s not firey. Fiery makes me say it like this – feary. But with an English accent. And a tiny troll on the r. Fearrry. And with the corners of my mouth turned down. And I’m wearing lace around my neck. And I’m holding a parasol. With fringe. Never mind. Let’s […]
Summer Spaghetti Salad
The dog days aren’t overrrrrr, the dog days aren’t done. The horses ain’t even coming, so you don’t have to run! Do you see what I did there? I changed the lyrics because we’re still in the dog days. The dog days of summer. They’re not over yet. And I’m betting Florence and her Machine […]
Roasted Ratatouille Toasts

Pasta Fresca and Mini Tex-Mex Chicken and Cheese Pies
Come hither. Sit. Two unexpected yet irrevocably significant things happened to me a few days ago, and I feel it’s only right to tell you. It all happened so fast and at the time I wasn’t even sure of what was actually occurring. I’m still trying to process it all and come to an answer, […]
Mediterranean Couscous with Grilled Vegetables
This meal might have forgotten to show up for hair and makeup, but maaaaaan the taste is going to stop you in your TRACKS. You know those little boxes of couscous that come with the little seasoning packets in them? No, no, not macaroni and cheese (although I would donate my pancreas to eat that […]
Shrimp and Corn Pasta

I love how I can spend 417 hours a day in the barrels of food obsession, wrestling multiple brain aneurysms trying to dream up the pimpest recipe combinations, researching every last cobwebby corner of the webs and magazine pages until I’m blue in the face for a single speck of inspiration for the […]
Angel Hair with Chicken Sausages, Tomatoes and Kale
The secret is in the lemon. But before you scroll down looking for the beauty shot of the lemon, let me break it to you, it’s not there. You see, I didn’t even think about adding lemon juice when I was making this dish and then all of a sudden as I was about to […]
Chicken Sausage Tacos with Cilantro-Yogurt Sauce
I’m not exactly sure what happened here. It’s not Mexican food. It’s not Greek food. It’s…well….. It all started like this: Me to Aaron, “Hey, do you want some chicken sausage tacos for dinner tomorrow night? We’ve never done that before.” Aaron, “Yeah, but instead of a tortilla, maybe use pita bread?” Me, “I guess…but […]
Zucchini Pasta: I Might Die.
As I told ya last night, I’m trying to get every last thing eaten in this house before we depart for a few days. It just so happened that my newest Whole Living magazine appeared in my mailbox the other day. It just so happened that the front cover food photo left me weak and […]
