Bread! We like bread. We live for bread. And you’ll lose your mind over this one. This would be a stellar idea for next week. Or this weekend. Or tomorrow. Because we’re nestling lemon slices and briny olives with a pinch of crushed red pepper and flaky sea salt into some rustic bubbly bread and […]

Baked Peppers and Olives with Rosemary and Parmesan
Aaaand we’re back! With an appetizer that will send your taste buds straight into orbit. So, when we were in Hermann for our little road trip last month, I was sipping a pinot noir at a wine tasting and talking with the winery owner about pairings. And while this is not an official pairing on […]
Skillet Orzo with Tomatoes, Chicken and Olives
Oh hellooooo, fall. I see you. This is what happens when you take chicken tenders, cut them up, sear them with olives and red wine and crushed tomatoes and ORZO. A heavy hand of parmesan and freshly chopped parsley to garnish, plus a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil? Stop. Stop it. It’s quite divine, I […]
Rustic Chicken Puttanesca Spaghetti
Yes MORE PASTA. But I don’t think you’ll be mad about it. Because it’s puttanesca. Which is a painfully unfortunate name. But my version is stripped way down! Which is an even more poor choice of words. Let me start over. There are toooooons of putt putt (<–no) recipes out there, but I’d like for […]
Greek Orzo Pasta Salad
Isn’t May 18th the unofficial gateway to pasta salad season in my head? Thought so. I think I just came with your very favorite new pasta salad. I really do. I seriously do. Because it’s not BORING. Not to say other pasta salads are boring. That was rude. But you know how you get super […]
Shrimp Nicoise Salad
This salad occurred last week. And it occurred le big. Have you ever nicoised your pants off before? UGH, before we continue, I can’t figure out how to make that little hooky thing under the c in nicoise. Ya know what I’m talking about? That little hook? It’s like a little crow bar? Half of […]
Tuscan Tuna and White Bean Salad
Don’t even think about turning on that oven! That was my super nauseating announcer-y voice, could you tell? Did you just get the urge to throw your laptop in front of a semi-truck and set yourself on fire? It worked! Speaking of fire, I just got my new glasses in yesterday and they are booooooss. […]
Lemon Chicken With Orzo
What does bistro mean? Because in a coffee-induced hyper episode on Saturday, I deemed this week as BLOG BISTRO WEEK. And then realized I have no idea what that means. And that I was talking to air. But I do know that it’s one of those words that when you say more than thrice, it […]
Pantry Chicken and Beans
Okay, so I just finished reading this book. It’s fiction, but one of the main characters is a chef, so any time she references food, the recipe is supplied at the end of each chapter. Pretty pimp, eh? The book itself is gosh darned good, if you’re into giggling like a school girl, weeping like […]
