We’ve been wanting fish tacos for weeks. Monday we got them. We even ate outside! We went to Zúmba and got crunchy-messy-delicious fish tacos with chips and salsa. We talked about cake and how we need to buy coffee. Then we went to Lost and Found and tried on leather jackets. (If only we looked like Jamie Hince in them.) Jake perused records* until we went home to hang out with Elliot in the backyard.…
Don’t worry about breakfast, there’s English Muffins that can happen right in your kitchen! Don’t worry about what to top them with, use the Raspberry Jam you made last year after you picked the berries yourself with your BFF in the sun. Don’t worry about the rise-time, just sit in your backyard with your cute pup and wear sunglasses instead of make-up, and think about how ice cream is a necessity for this day to be a…
My friend, Katie, is the coolest. She’s the cutest and most fun. She also makes really good salads. This one is my favorite. Partly because it has avocado in it, but mostly because it’s delicious. Honestly, I wish I had this in my fridge all the time for snacking. And the bleu cheese makes it so good! You barely need any dressing. So you guys should probably make this, and be the most popular person…
I eat this for dinner on the weekend. I’ve been eating it for months. I can’t stop. I’ve learned not to be impatient when roasting sweet potatoes. I’ve learned that salt in refried beans is a mistake. I’ve learned that I can’t live without Cholula hot sauce. This is the way I layer the goodness: Sometimes I share the sweet potatoes and avocado slices with Elliot. Sometimes I make one for Jake to bring to…
I need to get it together. The other day I got on the treadmill at the gym with my sunglasses on. Then I failed at installing an air conditioner in the window. And yesterday, I cooked chicken and then dropped it in the sink into a dirty cup. But when salads like this happen, I don’t feel as bad about messing stuff up. You see, this salad is a win. The goat cheese is crunchy…
My new little casserole dish came with a caddy to keep it from ever needing a pot holder. It’s as if it’s saying, “I don’t want to meet your daddy, I just want mac & cheese in my caddy.” … when it sings along with Outkast, that is. If you are at a loss as to what to pair with BBQ-ed goodness, this is the stuff. Put this on a plate with ribs/pulled pork/BBQ chicken/vegetarian…
First of all, can you believe how casual I was about this pizza dough in the Spinach Dip Bites post? I mean… who do I think I am? So here it is in it’s own post along with a big dose of respect. (Oh! Slicing your own peps is where it’s at. Ask anybody! Ask Jake!) Just know that this is our favorite, straight-up, no-nonsense pizza dough. Jake generally makes it because he’s a G…
I keep wearing the same dress. I keep wearing it because it goes well with every single pair of bright colored tights I own. The flowers are every color! Consider puff pastry the colorful, floral dress of the snacking wardrobe. You see, puff pastry goes with everything, whether it’s savory or sweet. It’s hip like that. So next time you see me in that dress I wear all the time, don’t bother judging me. Just…
I’m hungry. I’m hungry just looking these guys in the eye again. I’ve been daydreaming about these for weeks, you see, and they were as tasty as I imagined! I miss them already, and I promise that it’s not just because of their cuteness. It has more to do with my love for spinach dip and my greater love for all things mini. Basically, I need to go make more of these, then you need…
Three things that make me happy, no matter what, are: Naive Melody by the Talking Heads, Marie Antoinette (the movie!), and pizza of all types; I don’t discriminate. Jake and I used to eat breadsticks on the drive home from picking up our tasty whole wheat pizza from Strawberry Moon bakery. But, sadly, they closed in February. There went our breadstick-eating drives, impulsive brownie-buying, Jake’s Mexican Coke-chugging, and our summer plans to walk and get…
