Broccoli NOODLES. Have you ever heard of such a thing!? No. No, you haven’t. My life has been forever changed with this brilliant invention. It’s called the Inspiralizer, and it turns baaaasically everything into NOODLES. NOODLES! I feel an all caps moment is appropriate here. My awesome friend Ali Maffucci discovered this lil’ machine only […]

Roasted Fennel and Italian Sausage Naan Pizza
That roasted garlic sauce, though. I’ve had some Trader Joe’s garlic naan in my freezer since Noah’s ark. Probably not the most appetizing way to open a blog post, but would you expect any less from me? Right. Anyway, Indian-esque meals have come and gone. Did I eat the naans? No. Chicken and rice-y dishes […]
Quick Garlicky Parmesan Crostini
Happy New Yeaaaaarrrrr! . . .ish. I gotsta be straight up with you right now. This isn’t my recipe. I did not come up with this perfectly simple, satisfying, knock-your-face-off-to-yummy-town appetizer. No, no. Not me. Not I. Not myself. Not even Irene. (who IS Irene?) This appie is actually brought to you by my super […]
White Bean, Kale and Italian Sausage Soup
It’s all about the rind, n’est pas? I have no idea why I threw a little Francais into that sentence. This isn’t even a French soup. Let me start over. It’s all about the rind, I MEAN RIGHT, YOU GUYS? Yeah, that was just straight up obnoxious boulevard. Question: Do you freeze your cheese rinds? […]
Cheesy Black Quinoa Bites and Garlic Chicken Spring Rolls
I know, I know. It’s Saturday. What gives? I just feel like it’s taken me all flippin’ week to get my groove back, STELLA. And I just found out that Click and Clack from Car Talk are retiring and I just don’t rightly know how to handle this unexpected hurdle in life. Don’t they understand […]
Lemon Pan-Seared Chicken with Buttered Orzo (& a Pioneer Woman Giveaway!)
I’m not actually giving REE away, you guys. Marlboro Man would haaave myyyy hiiiiide. But I do have a little sumpin’ sumpin’ to BUTTER YOU UP, OMG I sure did just say that. But wait! Chill your cheelah because I actually DO want to talk about this butter for a smidge. Wow, I just got […]
Shrimp Pasta with Tomatoes, Lemon and Spinach
I wish I could replace the inside of my mouth with this. AND, I’m just now figuring something out. I think angel hair pasta might be my favorite pasta in the entire world, including Vermont. I dunno, something about the thinness, the slipperiness of it, how evenly it gets coated by sauces, how much of […]
Bruschetta with Shrimp, Mushrooms and Green Garbanzo Beans
Before we go any further here, I need to come clean about something. I don’t know exactly how it happened, or what was going on inside the cerebral mass inside my head skull, but it did happen. And I can’t go back and fix it. I’ll never be able to go back and correct the […]
Paprika Shrimp Over Creamy Egg Noodles
Yoooooou’re heeeere, there’s NOTHING I FEEEEAAAAR. That was the sound of my face at the end of Titanic (in 3D!) last night as the lights came up in the theater and tears bucketed from my eye sockets and my husband leapt from his seat and ran out of the room as fast as he could. […]
Roasted Brussels Sprouts Ravioli
I don’t know how else to say this. But I would almost 100% rather have this meal coursing through my veins than blood. Okay wait, I take that back. I wouldn’t be able to taste it. What I really want is for a single ravioli with a light coating of tomato sauce to sit on […]
