I’m not a quitter. I finish bad books. I eat bad meals. I never leave a bag of Tostitos alone, especially the lime ones. But gnocchi made me crazy. For three reasons. Reason One. It was one of those moments where you get too hungry, the meal isn’t ready, and your entire kitchen and half your…
I’m not sure what made me think of attempting stuffed peppers …. but I’m pretty sure the giant mound of them at the market had something to do with it. When we were growing up I remember how much I really loved the Stouffer’s Stuffed Peppers that we would dominate as a family. I’m pretty…
Sometimes, life is about patiently stirring some rice in a skillet and making risotto. Sometimes, life is about realizing that your “collection” of cotton sundresses that are totes perfect for New England are “totes not perfect” for your weekend in Miami. Blurg. That is the reality that I’m coming to at 10:30 on a Monday night. I’ve…
Hey, guess what isn’t photogenic? Cauliflower. Like for reals. Hey, guess what is totally delicious? Cauliflower. Like for reals. I’m not sure what brought this delicious wonder to my computer screen, but it looked so good and it turned out that I already had the cauliflower in my fridge. Win! I’m not sure I’ve ever…
With a trip to Miami looming in the coming days, I wanted to make something a little bit “lighter”. There isn’t much excitement to this soup but it was light yet filling. Plus hey, I got to use leeks for the first time and if that isn’t exciting…. well I’m not sure what is. It’s the little…
I have a few recipes that I need to document – but the last thing I’ve felt like doing recently is writing up witty commentary on chicken soup. Spoiler alert? It was awesome and I smelled like chicken soup in public. But, last night I came home from yoga ravenous. I was carb hunting in…
I have a smaller confession to make. I used to think canned soup was the best thing and now the idea of buying it makes me sad. To be clear, I’m not judging in the least. Seriously, look in my cabinet. It’s filled with Kraft Mac & Cheese, canned tuna, and other similar products. Canned soup…
I feel like people give brussel sprouts a bad name. I think I blame tv for this actually. But, I actually like these bad boys. I mean it doesn’t hurt that I sprinkled them with truffle salt and gruyere cheese right? Answer = no. I’ve never made brussel sprouts before and they are super easy.…
… and you are invited. I don’t care that you didn’t even want to come. Last week I stumbled upon this blog post for Broccoli Cheddar Soup from Lovely Morning. I think I quite literally fell in love with it because of the picture of the broccoli. Is it possible to love broccoli soup but…
On Wednesday, I tweeted that I would only make myself some soft pretzel tots if I went for a run on Thursday. It was very well intentioned. I really thought I would go for the run. But then it rained. And. I got some cavities filled. So, instead I felt sorry for myself and gummed…
