One chef I’ve just never made my mind up about is Paula Deen. She does seem like a sweet lady, and a lot of her recipes sound amazing. Even so, it really rubs me the wrong way that she’s spent years promoting all this incredibly unhealthy food, and now that she has diabetes, she’s making … Continue reading
If you haven’t tried quinoa yet, I think this is the perfect way to try it for the first time – as a side dish to some yummy chicken that ends up stealing the whole show. Wow! I’m a little embarrassed to use such a silly cliché, but this quinoa is bursting with flavor. If … Continue reading
Man, how easy is it to make tilapia? I had never made it at home before, and it literally can’t be easier – brush with some oil, sprinkle with some salt, and broil for six or seven minutes. That’s what I’m talking about. This tilapia was extra good because of the delicious curry sauce. I … Continue reading
It’s no big surprise that I read a lot of food blogs. And sometimes, when you read a lot of food blogs, you’ll see the same recipe (or a variation thereof) popping up all over the place. That was the case with this recipe. First I saw it here. Then here. Then here and here … Continue reading
You know who’s amazing? Working moms. It seems like all the pundits and politicians have been fighting lately about how much moms work and all that – which is dumb. Of course they work! The day I made this delicious, delicious chicken, I worked all day, got home at 6, went for a long run, … Continue reading
Some days I feel like I don’t get to do anythingI want to do all day long. I work long hours, eat a boring healthy lunch, come home and unload the dishwasher (always, every day, without fail, the dishwasher has to be unloaded)…etc. This isn’t unique to me, of course – adultdom can be très … Continue reading
Can we talk about how much I love parmesan cheese? For the first 20 or so years of my life, my only real conception of parmesan cheese was the green shaker bottle we used on pizza night. Perfectly delicious in its own right, but when I started spending more time in the kitchen, I discovered … Continue reading
Guys, I can’t cook rice noodles. I don’t know why! They seem so simple. They’re basically just noodles…only somehow, whenever I try to make them, something goes horribly wrong. I’ve spared you all the pain of seeing my botched attempt at Pad See Ew last week, but trust me when I say that it was … Continue reading
It’s hot! And you know what’s good when it’s hot outside? Pasta salad. It’s light. It’s cold. It doesn’t require firing up the oven. And it’s meatless! You know you want some. This salad is all those things (and delicious!), but my one complaint is that it made a smidge too much dressing. If you … Continue reading
Oh man. If you love carbs, red meat, and heat, have I got a great weekend meal for you. This was really tasty, and it was a nice change of pace from the things I normally cook. However, it confirmed for me once again, that while I love carbs and heat, I am just not … Continue reading
