And you don’t even need a machine! (besides your miiiiiiiiieeeeend) The other morning I was flipping through an old magazine in one of those teensy, stale claustrophobic waiting rooms, purple half-gown draped over my shoulders before proceeding to get my chee chees flattened to crepes, (<–life of a 40-year old) when I noticed a torn […]
Or we could just get real and call it what it is: chocolate sauce on your enchiladas. Heeeeey-o! It’s not Thanksgiving-y, I know. But I’m thinking about next week for you. Or the week after. Two weeks later. You gotta eat in December, ya know! Have you ever attempted a mole sauce? If I make […]
Eaaaaaaaaasy easy easy easy easy suppah. Easy like Sunday morning. Or Monday afternoon. Or Tuesday night. Or Wednesday twilight. Or Thursday dawn. Or Friday lunch. Or Saturday happy hour.

Although I’m sure that would be so much fun for you? I’m actually featuring recipes from all my friends’ current cookbooks! Also known as Why Didn’t I […]
I didn’t intend to post two meatily chunks of meat recipes two days in a row. I guess I’m out of control. Maybe it’s the thing living in my left ear? Am I low on iron? Do I need to see someone about this? Take a vacation? Go back to bed? Watch Dirty Dancing? Whatever […]
Chicken. It’s a win-win. No matter what you do with it, you’re sure to wear giddy pants while eating it. Grilled, seared, stuffed, shredded, poached, baked; honestly, the world is your oyster. I mean chicken. The chicken is your oyster. I mean, the world is your chicken. Wait, the chicken is your chicken! . . […]
This is the easiest meal on the planet. It might be the easiest meal on ANY planet, as a matter of fact. And it’s perfect in so many ways. Let me share them with you. * There are like, 3 ingredients. * It takes maybe 15 minutes in all to pull together. * It’s perfection […]
The other afternoon, Aaron and I were resting on the couch, excruciatingly horrible movie on TV, my new favorite book in my lap and our minds taking a much needed breather.
