Deep dish quiche. That’s what we’re talking about here. It’s like we’re just hangin’ in Chicago eating quiche type quiche. And let me just tell ya this. Plz use instant polenta. Nobody wants to lose those 10 minutes whisking when it can be already in the oven, ya dig? Also, this quiche is my favorite and I kinda want to make it again as soon as it’s gone. I also want to make a for…
Yesterday I was craving enchiladas in a real way. But, it’s like a million percent humidity and 90 million degrees here. Luckily I have a window unit AC and frozen cookies to keep my life/hair together. So in order to keep this craving from getting outta control and causing me to be both hot and hungry and possibly eating a corn dog of the questionable variety at a street fair, I decided to grill these.…
The last time I remember eating chili cheese fries was carry-out style when I worked at Caribou Coffee. I was all, YOLO, let’s get chili cheese fries and eat them at the tall tables by the windows and live our lives like the mocha-serving girls we are with 2 braids and chocolate on our arms. So, not much as changed? I still have chocolate on my arms or face, but I’ve upped my chili fry…
I can’t always differentiate between a low-point and a high-point (of the food variety). Like eating cinnamon rolls before dinner and then before brunch. High or low? Going for a run then eating 8 Thin Mint cookies. Going from a vegan phase to eating a Little Caesar’s pizza in the car? Getting granola all around my desk at work from handfuls? Honestly, I kinda consider these all high-points. Gotta live your life, right? One thing I…
Yesterday I ate chocolate while making tortillas for dinner tacos. Mind you, I was out of everything so the tacos were just made with scrambled eggs, tomatoes, cheese, and hot sauce. And I ate them standing in my kitchen… I don’t know what the deal is. I’ve been so scattered lately! I’ve forgotten to eat meals (what?!). I’ve eaten granola bars for lunch and weird bratwurst for midnight dinner. Life is crazy and busy and…
Let’s put red wine and balsamic vinegar in our stew. Let’s eat cheesy biscuits. Let’s have sweet potato corn bread for dessert.

This ice cream tastes like Thanksgiving. It tastes like the first sweet potatoes I ever liked served sweet (since I tend to like my sweet potatoes in a quesadilla). You see, last thanksgiving, my mom made the Pioneer Woman’s recipe for sweet potatoes, and they tasted like heaven. They had a streusel-ish topping with pecans. But really, what’s better than a dessert in a side dish’s outfit? Here’s my question: could you serve this ice cream with your…
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…
Rumor has it these are girly, healthy muffins. But let me tell you, boys liked them too, despite the gingham papers. Taryn (friend, stylist, blogger) asked me to make these for the next photo shoot we’d both be at. And I’m so glad I did! These are the perfect muffin to have around when you’re at a photo shoot or anywhere where lunch is postponed. These kept me from being crazy-hungry. And really, any recipe…
If I had to choose two songs, as the best songs, for singing in the car, I’d pick: Since You’ve Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson + Screaming Infidelities by Dashboard Confessional. Don’t bother judging me, ok? These are not my two most favorite songs in the whole world, or favorite artists even. But these songs are really good for singing from your heart alone in your car. If had to tell you a few foods I consider…
