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…). [...]

Simple Edamame Toast

February 2, 2012

For lunch… let’s be real… it’s not always fancy salad and irresistible pretzel dogs. Usually, at the lunch hour, I open the fridge and pile whatever I’ve got onto a few pieces of bread. There’s usually salt and olive oil involved. I believe that those are ingredients that belong on damn near everything. Remember when [...]

Mini Pretzel Dogs

January 31, 2012

I think I’d like to write a book about how to make friends, entitled How to Make Friends, the almost fairytale. Chapter One Once upon a time there was a lonely girl who had but one friend… her snaggle-toothed mother. One day, in the kitchen, she stumbled upon a rare and delicious combination. A combination [...]

Savory Cornmeal and Chive Waffles with salsa and eggs

January 15, 2012

There’s something about a giant stack of waffles topped with butter, powdered sugar, and maple syrup that puts me in an un-fightable, resistance resistant, afternoon coma. That really… and I mean reeeeaaalllyyy pisses off the workaholic in me. She hates napping. The waffle-aholic in me? Well… obviously she thinks her workaholic counterpart should just chill the [...]

Super Herb Butter

December 27, 2011

Yesterday was a day like any other day. I woke up thinking about doughnuts and chili fries. Ok… not really. I did, however, make my way to the kitchen, found an open box of cereal, and ate a giant handful of dry cereal with my eyes closed. Then I drank milk. I can’t tell you [...]

Spicy Lemon Date Spread

December 19, 2011

Have you ever tried to peel dates? Yea… me neither. Except I totally tried. It was hard. It was futile. Did you know you’re not supposed to peel dates? You’re not. All it takes is one text to a friend.. and you’ll know for sure. Texting with sticky fingers. It’s just real. No biggie. I [...]

Pickle Fries

December 6, 2011

I think maybe I can see into my future. Well, I can see into my future if my future involves me being pregnant. If I’m ever a pregnant Joy the Baker… oh sweet lordy… God help us all. I’ll totally be one of those pickles and ice cream women. I’ll also be a marshmallow and [...]

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, [...]

The Perfect Cheese Plate

November 8, 2011

Let’s be people that host parties. Let’s not just have people over… let’s host parties. Let’s be people that look effortlessly elegant all night… even if this just means wearing the perfect pair of flattering jeans. Let’s be people who always have perfect lipstick. Let’s be people who wear comfortable and stylish heels all night. [...]

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 [...]

Grilled Ham, Cheese, Pickle, and Potato Chip Sandwich

October 23, 2011

Who am I to tell you how to make a dang sandwich? I don’t know how much mayonnaise you like to spread on your bread. I don’t know how spicy you like your mustard. I don’t know how cheesy you like your situation. I can’t know how tall you like to stack your ham. I [...]

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 [...]

Lemon, Olive, and Parsley Quinoa Cakes

October 13, 2011

Dear Success, I got you. I’ve got a jar of Sharpie markers on my desk, a frozen coffee cake in my freezer just waiting to be baked, a handful of people tell me they love me, and there’s spinach in my bowl. See? I’ve got you, Success. We’re totally roommates… and I’m totally not letting [...]

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 [...]

Barbecue Onion Rings: baked and fried

September 30, 2011

Uh-huh. It’s onion ring time. Were you the little girl that would put a small onion ring on her ring finger and pretend that she was married? Yea… me neither. That’s weird. … And I definitely didn’t do that today, as a grown-ass lady. That would be even more odd. Except I totally did. Yea. [...]

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. [...]

Fresh Tomato and Arugula Bagel Pizzas

September 1, 2011

This is the end. This is the end of my day. This is the end of the week. This is the end of a pizza bagel before it meets my belly. The end looks like a toasted bagel with fresh, seasoned tomatoes, salami, melted fresh mozzarella, and lemon pepper arugula. The end. The end tastes [...]

Salt and Vinegar Potato Salad

August 29, 2011

I made a thing that tastes like another thing… Salad that tastes like chips. Wait… would anyone sign up for chips that taste like salad? No. Wait…. Cobb Salad chips? Yes. How can we make this happen? Ok. I’m totally distracted. I need to tell you about potato salad before the summer slips away. This [...]

Fresh Corn and Goat Cheese Grits

August 2, 2011

Five Things I Learned About Myself Last Week by Joy Wilson My Los Angeles style of driving will piss many people off outside of Los Angeles. When traveling, I will take an unreasonable, and possibly troubling amount of travel-sized toiletries with me no matter the duration of the trip. I so so soooo want to [...]
