I’m pretty sure I was supposed to be British. English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, SOMETHING with a cool accent that makes me feel smart. I know this to be true because we’re in Downton Abbey overdrive and closing in on season two and things were so cray cray back then! I want to hear Lord Grantham […]

The Pioneer Woman’s Chicken Tortilla Soup
(This giveaway has now ended.) So there’s this woman. Her name is Ree. You might know her? I’ll give you a hint! Her last name rhymes with Brummond and she’s married to a man who lives for cow poop and they have four punks (hey! her word, not mine) and they live on a huge […]
Chicken Pot Pie Cupcakes and a Mexican Pasta Bake
Life is so weird. Yesterday it was 65 degrees and cloudy, so I went on a long run, fertilized the yards and admired our BLOOMING (??!) daffodils and crocuses. It poured poured poured rain over night, so I awoke to a slightly greener yard, a pale yellow glow from our forsythia and horrible bed head. […]
Turkey Goulash
Well, I got one of those calls in the middle of the night that you never want to get. The kind that when you hear your phone ringing a room away at a haunted hour, you bolt straight up in bed, mind racing all over the place, fearing the absolute worst. That happened to me […]
Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Enchiladas
See these here enchiladas? Yeah, I pretty much saved your life with these. But oh, let’s start at the very beginning. Things started off swimmingly! Just as I had planned. Every ingredient and step was lined out in my head that would make these shredded beef enchiladas so top drawer, you’d scoff at the idea […]
Chicken Pesto Minestrone
Something is happening to my brain. And it’s starting to scare me. It all started with the most devastating news ever ever ever. Whitney. When I found out, of course I spent the next 36.5 hours cradling my laptop, glued to YouTube, singing along through unruly sobs to I Will Always Love You. And things […]
Bucatini with Sausage in a Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
I just don’t think life would be rightly fair if bistro week didn’t include ohhhh let’s see, ANOTHER pasta dish. Ya know, I’m going to really miss bistro week. I’m starting to get used to my mustache. Okay so bucatini. Have you ever had it? It’s like a thick spaghetti with a hole down the […]
Roasted Tomato Soup with Parmesan Heart Crisps
You guys, where have I been? What on earth have I been doing my entire life? How has it taken me nearly 36 years to make fah-rickin’ PARMESAN CRISPS? Oh right, I’ve been obsessed with trying to find the world’s best deep conditioning hair treatment. Well, and solving crimes. Der. Parmesan Crisps are my new […]
Chicken Stroganoff
What up, Strogs? Strogy. The STROGSTER. Oh, hi! I’m just pretending it’s 1995 and totally legit to use these God-forsaken nicknames on my new most favoritest dish ever in my life. Did you know that “stroganoff” actually means “to eat your face off?” It does! And then in 1965 they shortened it to just “stroganoff […]
Gourmet Chili Dogs
I’m pretty sure this recipe is the biggest oxymoron ever. And quite possibly the most freaky delicious oxymoron that’s going to knock your face into next Tuesday. Last week on the Facebooks and Twitters I asked you if I should make these here chili dogs. And then my accounts exploded due to little red notifications […]
