It’s totally spummer out. (Ya know, that season that’s right between spring and summer.) One day it’s 87 and the next day it’s 65. This weather is cray. But on the ideal spummer day it’s good to have picnic fixings on the ready! You see, this day would be about 75 and sunny, and it wouldn’t rain as soon as you sat on your picnic blanket, and you sure wouldn’t cut your thumb on the…
For the longest time I ate snooze-fest salads. I’d feel disappointed if I had to muster one up for lunch. But I was going about it all wrong! You see, the key to an awesome salad is lots of bright colors and sriracha in the vinaigrette. This salad is rainbow, and puts the fun in funfetti, ya know? And this can be switched up however you fancy. It’s tasty with spinach, kale, romaine, or arugula.…
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…
Last night I made these tarts. Today I went paddle-boating in a skirt. It’s been a good weekend so far. Have you seen baby heirloom tomatoes at Trader Joe’s? They are just so pretty, and the green ones are neon. They would be the most popular tomatoes dancing under a black light at a club. If I stumble across a recipe that has tomatoes, basil and goat cheese involved, chances are I’ll e-mail it to…
This is a fall-ish dinner. It really is. But let me tell you something. It’s the kind of thing you’re going to want to make on those windy spring days that you have to wear a trench coat just so your skirt doesn’t fly everywhere else. And it might not be 80 degrees yet here in Michigan, and it was totally raining the other day. So there you go. Also, I can see myself making…
Did you know that chives are just baby green onions? Know it. You’ll be ready when the “Baby Vegetable” category pops up on Jeopardy. I had to sprinkle these guys with pepper after they were done, instead of pre-baking. You see, I broke the pepper mill and pepper was everywhere, but on the quiche. Jake went out and got some though, and there was plenty of pepper involved pre-eating. These guys are cute, pretty and delicious.…
It’s kinda gross here in the mitten. It’s soggy and rainy. The sky should probably be filled with magical and thoughtful snowflakes. The kind that don’t interfere with driving and sure don’t make the sidewalk slippery when wearing high heels. This snow is more of an ambiance thing that induces the need to watch Love Actually and make a warm cozy dinner. You should probably eat this soup in a room lit only with Christmas…
PLEASE NOTE: I’ve remade/photographed these since. For the updated post click HERE. I’m already hungry for Thanksgiving. To be completely honest, I’m already hungry for my next meal very shortly after finishing the current one. So if you’re hungry right now, and feeling a little bit worried about dinner, you should make this. These stuffed shells are a delicious + healthier version of the all cheese stuffed shells. My main adaptation of the recipe was that…
I don’t really get guys with thumb rings, or why plucking my eyebrows makes me sneeze, but I do get why this meal was amazing. I am not one to ever doubt the goodness of black beans and when out, my menu choices are based on whether there are avocados involved. So I knew heading into this meal that it’d be a dream come true. With the chili powder and the hot sauce these burgers…
