Basic B. Burrito

I wanted to call this the Brokea$$ Basic B#%$ Burrito. But Basic B. will work. (Bean is it’s middle name.) I told my bf about this and was like, “I might post it, but it’s so silly-easy.” He said it’s not basic, and sounds good. And I think he knows a thing or a million, so here you go. You see, after I had food poisoning a bit ago, all I wanted to eat was…

Sweet & Savory Pierogi

When I’m feelin’ down or maybe just in need of edible comfort, I opt for pierogi. Normally I pop by the market on my home, buy a pack of locally made dumplings and drink a beer while they sizzle and tell myself I’ll only eat some of them them and then I eat all of them. But mostly, just know that these can be made at your house, or at your lady friend’s house while…

Super Cheesy Potato Gratin

But for real… how do you say “gratin”? Does it rhyme with rotten? Is it more like afghan, but French-ish and without the “f”? Honestly, when I was telling people what I was making I felt like a weirdo. Like when you read a word a bunch but never say it out loud so when you do realize you don’t really know how to say it after all. But silly pronunciation aside, this gratin isn’t…

Pesto Chicken Wrap

This guy would win in a sandwich battle wrap, that’s for sure. Imagine this rainbow dinner on stage rhyming with Eminem or whoever, ya know? It’d be like, “Yo, I know I’m a sandwich, but don’t disrespect. I’m a dinner worth eating so let’s be direct. I’ve got mad flava’ so get ready to sava’*. I’m no average meal, don’t save me for lata.” And then the other fella or lady would probably just go…

I went to New York!

Last Friday I arrived in New York hungry. My friend Kathy and I arrived at our lovely friend Erica‘s house late-ish Friday night. We were super hungry and the cocoa almonds we ate on the plane just weren’t cutting it. So, Erica took us to The Meatball Shop where I ate every single bite of a Meatball Smash-wich — spicy pork meatballs, tomato sauce, and provolone on brioche. I ordered a side of kale risotto worth…

Pumpkin Cheddar Muffins

This weekend has been a girly one. It involved mimosas, crafty wreath-making, casual chit chat over these muffins, and pumpkin pizza sharing. It’s been a good one. These muffins are perfect for spontanious brunching. Invite your BFF over while you’re in pajamas and while the muffins are still warm. Just do it. Everybody wins! But beware… These might make you curse out loud, because shut-the-front-door, they’re good. So you should probably try one before bringing…

Roasted Sweet Potato & Black Bean Quesadillas

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…

Cheddar Bread

This weekend was full of tough choices. Which cupcake should I have: strawberry cheesecake or bumpy cake? Which kind of coffee should I buy? Should I try to curl my hair? Hefeweizen or Custom Blonde? Should I have cheese on my bread or in my bread? Ok. I tried both cupcakes. I got some local coffee roasted and stuff in a place Jake vacationed once. I tried to curl my hair. I felt fancy like…
