Tofu Bahn Mi

Right now, Elliot is under the couch hiding from fireworks. So despite the pup-fear, this weekend has been really great! I grilled tofu and corn Friday night and ate this at the picnic table. The rest of the weekend was hot dogs, pizza, donuts and cheese plates. All while wearing a crop top! (Yeah summer!) Now, this may seem like a cray amount of food for a weekend, but I mean, it was a 4-day…

Strawberry Moscow Mules

This drink is my favorite. I kinda won’t shut up about it. Sorry, guys. But mostly once you make it you’ll probably want to shout it from the rooftops too. And if you don’t have a rooftop, then maybe from the top of your picnic table like the neighbor dog that barks incessantly and sounds like he swallowed a speaker and then is barking through it somehow. It is really the un-cutest especially at 2am, however…

Moscow Mule

This song makes me dance, this picture makes me happy, this dude makes me swoon, and this drink reminds me of going to New York, and Christmas Eve and Green Dot Stables. I love it! And there’s something so special about drinking this out of a copper mug. And there’s something even more special about making your own ginger beer. And well, I’d like to whip these up and cheers with a hottie! I’d like to…

Chipotle Chicken Chili

Oh, I’ve made this chili before. I loved it then and I love it now! You see, it doesn’t take long to throw together, the ingredient list isn’t too crazy, and well it’s thickened with a beer + masa harina mixture that is just magical! I love how it’s kinda the lovechild of a chili and a stew and I like how pretty it is accessorized garnish-style. I’d serve this to my favorites! I’d serve…

Goat Cheese Stuffed Black Bean Sliders

I’ve got some honesty for you guys. You see, Friday I went bowling sock-less… Yep, that’s right. I wore public shoes without socks. And I’m totally cool with the 10-second rule. You better believe that sometimes entire slices of pizza fly off my plate and I still eat them. Now you know. Sorry, Elliot, but I can’t sacrifice pizza ever. I feel the same way about these burgers. If one were to fly off my…

Vietnamese Vermicelli Salad with Peanut-Crusted Chicken

This is the kind of meal where you can’t help but take giant, un-ladylike, but totally respectable, bites. These noodles are Lady and the Tramp-esque. Who knows, maybe you’ll meet your true love mid-noodle. But mostly just know that this is one tasty dinner. It’s perfect for a casual weeknight. It’s filling AND it’s pretty. And I promise you’ll be full before you want to be. You might get mad at your tum for not…

My Key Lime Birthday Pie {made by Jake}

Jake believes that if you burn yourself, while cooking, the meal is guaranteed to be good. He believes in wine, bacon, and rye bread. He also believes that nobody should be making their own birthday cake. So this year, when my birthday rolled around, I opted for pie. And Jake made it! And it turned out dreamier than I even imagined! It’s perfectly tart and so bright you’ve got to wear shades. So for your next…

Lemonade

If you offer someone lemonade on a toasty day, they’ll probably hug you. If you offer them lemonade with strawberry infused vodka in it, they might just kiss you on the face. Be ready for it. I made this for my family when they were in town. We chugged it. We guzzled it. I should’ve made more of it. I needed it again in my life! You can even go crazy with this recipe and use some…
