Arroz con Pollo

February 7, 2012

One a scale of 1 to romantic… where do you fall? I fall at the medium-low level… let’s call if a 4.6. Go easy on the candle light, long stem roses, and limo rides (unless there’s a hot tub in back). I don’t need jewelry, but diamonds are always nice (it’s a paradox, I dunno…). [...]

Green Pea Pesto Ravioli

January 13, 2012

This is total brain food. If you think you know what I mean by that… think again. This is the sort of dish that you can make seated at your kitchen counter, or at your the desk that you’ve cleared off, or sitting on the floor beside the coffee table. This is the sort of [...]

Roasted and Shredded Beef Sandwiches

January 8, 2012

Dear New Year, Here’s the deal! I like carrot sticks. I’m going to keep eating those. I like oatmeal cookies. I’m going to continue to consider them a breakfast cookie. I’ll drink green juices. I’ll even like it. Also… I’m going to continue to follow 3 people on Facebook that I don’t actually like. It’s [...]

Spinach Feta Blood Orange Salad

January 2, 2012

My grandmother used to have a house dress, house hair, and house shoes. She made no apologies for boiling her fresh vegetables half way to kingdom come. She sat with her Bible at every spare moment. I… well, I have a house sweater. It’s big and grey with floppy sleeves and giant buttons. It’s just [...]

Caramelized Mushrooms and Dumplings

November 27, 2011

It seems as though… if you put biscuits on it… someone will profess their love to you. It’s a strange phenomenon. It’s totally true. Put biscuits on it… people will fall in love with you on the quick. We’re dealing in comfort food here. It’s like a food hug. Get into it!

Beef and Sweet Potato Stew

November 16, 2011

Have you ever been to St Louis, Missouri? I think it might be a magic place… I think it might also be haunted. Like, seriously. I’m here visiting my dearheart Rachel. The light here is like sun shining through milkglass. There are piles of leaves everywhere. The houses are HUGE! and beautifully bricked, and scary, [...]

Apple and Pomegranate Brussels Sprout Salad

November 2, 2011

Note: It’s past midnight… and I’ve lost my mind raiding my chocolate drawer. Second Note: I have a chocolate drawer… it’s an occupational perk and hazard. Third Note: I used to have a chocolate drawer. Just wrappers now. Fourth Note: Why does Kim Kardashian insist on making such a joke of her life? It must [...]

Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup

October 20, 2011

This is the soup I suggest you eat this weekend after you devour three doughnuts at breakfast, and before you eat tacos and french fries for dinner. It has broccoli and raw cashews in it. It’s the picture of health. Nevermind how much butter I put on that bread. Let’s focus on our health. Health [...]

Black Bean and Sweet Potato Tacos

October 4, 2011

I can and I will. I can and I will. That’s what I’ve been telling myself lately. I can and I will… about everything. I’ve also been saying YES to just about everything. Do you know what can open up when you say Yes.. I can and I will? Whoa. Major. Going to the [...]

Roasted Tomato and Caramelized Onion Farro Salad

September 14, 2011

New Podcast is ready for your ears! The Grass is Always Greener. Dudes… it’s a good one! I meant to make cake. I meant to make whipped cream. I meant to buy fresh raspberries. I mean to smash the three things together into a large bowl and eat it all… and then I made salad. [...]

Real Life Dinner

July 20, 2011

I have a real life. I know… epic. You have a real life too. I’m not trying to pat myself on the back or anything. I just wanted to remind you that I totally have a real life. It’s imperfect and blurry. It’s messy and florescent. It’s crooked and underexposed. It’s quiet… with the occasional [...]

Carrot Apple Ginger Soup

April 27, 2011

Sometimes I just want to eat a color. …Does that make sense? Does that ever happen in your brain? Usually I want to eat things that are green (kale), milky (coffee), made of booze, made of chocolate, or made of pie. For some reason, yesterday I wanted something orange and spicy. I made soup. Because [...]

Chicken Pot Pie with Cream Cheese and Chive Biscuits

April 21, 2011

Hello Dream Boy, If I didn’t know any better, I’d think I dreamt you up. Biscuits and cream and veggies and chicken. I must must must have dreamt you up, pulled you in the oven, and put you right in my life. I’m going to keep you around Dream Boy. I’ll get those fluffy feelings [...]

Roasted Garlic Soup with Rosemary Roasted Potatoes

March 23, 2011

I watch the movie Jerry Maguire once a month. I dunno… I seem to make soup every two weeks. I chase my cat around the neighborhood about once a week. I think about buying fancy shoes I don’t need at least two times a week. Every few days I ride my bike… and eat salsa [...]

Spicy Chickpea Salad

March 10, 2011

< Truth be told… I’ve been a bit distracted lately. I thought I could distract you with that Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread and disappear for a few days. I’m had a friend visiting from out of town. My little orange cat is either trying to run away, or climb the screen door. I’m obsessed with [...]

Ginger and Lentil Soup

February 2, 2011

Something other than butter. Something other than sugar. Something other than bacon and breakfast. I feel healthy and strong and clear skinned and shiny haired. And I totally want tater tots .

Hasselback Potatoes with Spinach Cashew Pesto

January 12, 2011

Did you know that if you fancy slice potatoes and roast them with butter and oil they’re called Hasselback Potatoes? Holy heck. How did I not know this was a life option? Did you know you could pulverize all this stuff with a machine and turn it into pesto? Did you know that if you [...]

Evelyn’s Chicken and Rice Casserole

December 30, 2010

Here’s some things to avoid doing on Christmas morning. Don’t haphazardly put the casserole your aunt made in a bag. Don’t drive that casserole across town. Don’t carry that casserole into a home with tile floors. Don’t accidentally drop the stupid bag with the broken handle on the tile floor. If you do that… everything [...]

Spicy Vegetarian Chili

December 14, 2010

You didn’t think I’d show you how to make those delicious Jalapeno Pepper Jack Scones and not show you how to rock them out with some chili, did you!? Yea… you’ve got some cooking to do. I’ll leave you to it… besides, I’m totally busy shopping for cheek stain online.

Homemade and Handmade Pasta

September 22, 2009

Can I tell you a secret? Sometimes I lack all confidence in the kitchen. It’s true. Sometimes a project will keep me up at night. Sometimes the ingredient list will just baffle me. Sometimes I hold my breath as I incorporate the ingredients, or I second guess myself and reread the recipe with every turn [...]
