Forgive me, it’s taken a global pandemic for me to find you again… and yet, two years and two kids later, my little piece of the internet remains. It has survived neglect, domain and hosting renewals, lost and recovered passwords, and somehow through the miracle of auto-pay, we find ourselves here, together again. The current […]
I would like to teriyaki-fy everything. I want my chicken wings with the teriyaki sauce, I want my chicken nuggets dipped in it, I want my vegetables drowned in it, and I want every meat marinated in it. No joke – I can not think of a single exception. Fish, pork, chicken, beef… yea, bring […]
I’ve made a lot of macaroni and cheese in my day. One might call me an expert in all things mac and cheese. In spite of that, I’m not ashamed to say that usually, the good ol’ Kraft Macaroni and Cheese tastes a heck of a lot better than the fancy-shmancy stuff. There’s something to […]
Guys. I grew something. I put seeds in the ground, added water, and something grew. It grew for more than a week. I cared for it and it didn’t die almost immediately. This is monumental. It’s not that I usually kill my plants- I actually ALWAYS kill my plants. I can’t so much as keep […]
Guess what? I made you something that will not induce a heart attack! This recipe includes plenty of healthy ingredients including the super-hippie, and very trendy grain, quinoa. This was my first attempt at quinoa. Here’s what I took away from this experience: 1. Quinoa is very needy. a) I have to rinse it? b) […]
If you aren’t “paleo,” and if you don’t belong to a Crossfit gym… you know you’re curious. Crossfit, paleo… it’s EVERYWHERE, right? What’s up with these people that eat like cavemen, pay 1 billion dollars per month on their gym memberships, and have super human strength? Dude. Your muscles have muscles. I’ve tried crossfit- and […]
If eternal happiness could be found in a skillet, it would most definitely taste like this. Stop everything and make this. I’m being serious. It’s mood altering, magical, life changing, drool on your keyboard, perfect. Seriously though, I’ve never done better, if I do say so myself. It’s the end of your new years diet, […]
So the last two posts have been relatively healthy and completely vegetarian. Given that fact, I feel it’s my duty as your friend, and favorite blogger (yea, I went ahead and made that assumption), to make you something with pork and carbs. You’re welcome. There’s something to be said for a warm, red, meat sauce; […]
Let me tell you about a little thing called Soubise sauce. Have you ever heard of it? Well if you hadn’t- you have now, and you’re very welcome. There’s really a sauce hierarchy in my life. In my world tomato-based sauces are the lowest on the totem pole, probably because they’re usually the healthiest option… […]
You know those people that are incredibly smart, successful, beautiful, responsible, witty, great in the kitchen, and even better friends/sisters/wives, etc.? You hate them, right? Me too. My bestie is the exception to the rule: Amanda. She’s way too amazing, cool and loyal to hate, so I made her my best friend instead. I scored […]
