A few things about today: 1) My sunhat that blew onto my neighbor’s roof was stuck in his gutter overnight, and has since disappeared. Oops. 2) I’m this close to murdering my dog every time the mail man arrives. 3) I non-embarrassingly purchased Haley Reinhart’s (from American Idol) single “Benny and the Jets” from itunes […]
My lawn is fertilized and seeded. Birds are making a nest above my outdoor patio speaker. Springs showers make their way in and out of the area. My dog has only killed 2 rabbits so far this season. Let’s just go ahead and call this “success.” Southwest-Style Nachos: Oh and Seth, you’re right. This might […]
I got me a clean dog. I got me a clean house. I got me some clean laundry. I got me a fully stocked fridge. I got me some badical grammar. See what happens when you don’t work for 1 day? Everything goes OUT THE WINDOW. Moroccan Braised Chicken with Carrots and Golden Raisins: What […]
This is such a simple meal. Like, simple to the dimple. Like, simple to the dimple to the pimple. Okay pimple is NOT a word appropriate for a food blog. My apimplegies. POLOGIES. Anyway, if you like your dimples simpled, try this simple one. …dimple. Chicken Chunks and Orzo with a Pesto Drizzle: What it […]
What? What white stuff all over the roads and yards and sidewalks? What fluffy substance dancing in the air slowly making its way to the ground? What white-knuckled drive to work 8 hours from now? I have NO idea what you’re talking about. Seriously, is there a petition we can sign? Chicken Stir-Fry With Bean […]
Who says getting a workout is impossible while under the weather? With all this coughing and blowing my nose, my stomach is this shy of a washboard. Or, it might just be the fog in my head causing hallucinations. THAT explains seeing Jude Law holding a garden hose and wearing a tutu in the women’s […]
So, last week I had a few requests for a good chicken and dumplings recipe. I’ve, uh, never actually made these dumplings you speak of, but why not! In a slight panic I called my Memaw and begged for her secret recipe. A sweet, southern email and 15 minutes of coaching later, I was ready […]
Words like “epic” and “colossal” are being thrown around by the weathermen as the snowstorm approaches us. Words like “hysteria” and “panic” are being thrown around in my head as the snowstorm approaches us. Words like “sissy” and “wimp-o” are being thrown around by my husband’s mouth as the snowstorm approaches us. Words like, “you’re […]
When was the last time you had chicken fingers for dinner? Only non-parents are allowed to answer. 700 years? Me too! While partaking in a favorite pastime, flipping through food magazines, there was something about a coconut chicken fingers recipe that poked, pointed and motioned “come here, you.” Try these fingers and I guarantee you […]
A week ago yesterday Aaron and I attended a wonderful dinner party with a group of dang good people. We each contributed our part of the dinner, but the main course was supplied by the fabulous hosts. They prepared a most succulent chicken spiedini with 2 pasta sides. You guys, I have not been able […]
