Taco Thursday! Just go with me. This recipe is actually a riff of another pork dish on my site, except for some reason I called that one Thai Pork Salad. And I’m calling this one CHINESE Pork Tacos. Things that make you go hmmmmm. I’m actually calling these Chinese Pork Tacos because of the Chinese […]

Cucumber Mint Sorbet
WHY IS IT SO HOT OUTSIDEEEE. Sorry to scream. Please tell me Kansas City’s not the only town sitting on the face of the SUN. It is crazy brutal right now. Heat indexes of five thousand. Humidity of 3 billion percent. Ozone layer on the verge on quitting its job it’s so pissed off. It […]
Greek Turkey Burgers {Tablespoon Tuesdays}
It’s okay to wear burger after Labor Day, right? How was your long weekend? Did you do anything laborious? Or was it more like Non-Labor Day weekend? I’m hoping my true labor day comes in mid-January. I don’t think I ever told you my due date, have I? Technically, it’s January 26th, but with twins, […]
Pan-Seared Salmon with a Pistachio Mint Cream Sauce
OMG. We have to have a meeting right now. Sooooo I finished Gone Girl yesterday. ohhhhhhhhforthefreakinglove.

Lemony Roasted Potato Salad
My microwave is haunted. No, it really is. When I heat up anything, and then close the door after I’ve taken the food or coffee out of it, it starts up again, but only for a few seconds, like maybe six total, and then stops. Do you think it’s the ghost of my old kitchen […]
Pasta Fresca and Mini Tex-Mex Chicken and Cheese Pies

The Mojito. Moe-Hee-Toe.
Yesterday afternoon a couple of girlfriends came over to see my new mortar and pestle. You guys, it was like I’d brought home a new baby. We gazed upon it. We pet it. We lovingly wished great blessings upon it. And then we muddled the tar out of some mint and started drinking. Making a […]
Roasted Eggplant Bruschetta
We had a big storm last night. We had sheets and sheets of insane rain, monstrous claps of thunder and everything. We had lightning, too. Oh guess what! One of the lightning bolts struck my neighbor’s tree, splitting it right down the center. It totally looks like something you’d see in a National Geographic magazine […]
Corn Saute with Zucchini, Mint, and Spicy Tofu
Remember when I talked about getting a new bed for our bedroom and moving our old bed out and into a guest bedroom and that other bed which was in another guest room to the basement, resulting in mad chaos in my life and home? Well, that’s all figured out now. Mostly. But what I’m […]
