It was going to be the perfect beach picnic, it was. Except, there’s this thing in nature called wind. And sand. Have you heard about them? Wind and sand? So the thing about wind is this: it’s unexpected. And sudden. And obnoxiously gusty. And it moves the sand when it blows. Like, the sand leaves […]
Um, hello yes, goodbye forever. CROSTINI. Talk about some major summer noshies, guys. It’s that kind of snack that’s like, obnoxiously balanced. And EASY. Ugh, so easy. You have crusty, garlicky baguette slices, more sautéed garlic, perfectly-seared zucchini rounds, topped with cheese shavings. But not just any ol’ cheese shavings. These have Roth’s insanely delicious […]
. . . with Parsley Pesto. (!!) I just didn’t have room for it in the title. But you’re hung on the Christmas bean part, aren’t you? Have you ever seen slash HEARD of Christmas lima beans?

Just imagine yourself on the kitchen floor, in a puddle of your own drool mixed with a little honey, body limp, mind numb, and a trail of expletives escaping your lips. Got that? NO […]
Suuuuurpriiiiiiiiiise! Hey, Lisa. Hi, I’m talkin’ to you. Yeah, you. Suuuuurpriiiiiiiiise! It’s a baby shower! For you! And that baby boy that’s going to shoot out of you in like, what, three weeks? Woo hoo! I knew I loved Lisa before we even met. We roomed together this summer at BlogHer Food, but before that […]
