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 […]

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 […]
