We’ve got a Joey Tribbiani dish right here, folks! And by that I mean: Basil? Good. Avocado? Good. Bacon? GOOOOOD. Seriously, those are all the good things. Get to work! AVOCADO BACON PASTA (recipe from Recipe.com) 8 oz pasta (bowtie, wagonwheel, fusilli, or cavatappi work well) 2 medium avocados, halved, peeled, and chopped 6 slices … Continue reading
I’ve talked before about how much I love the grocery store by my house, but I came very close to finding a chink in its armor last week — no corned beef. No corned beef! My mom loves reubens and reuben dip, and she always bought those little packages of Buddig corned beef to make … Continue reading
In the tiny window we have between our butter-and-corn-syrup-induced Thanksgiving comas and the onslaught of holiday parties, Christmas cookies, and booze, how about something light and healthy that still tastes like junk food? That’s certainly what I’m craving these days. And these baked buffalo tempeh wings are absolutely perfect — they were soooooooooo good I … Continue reading
Sometimes I feel a little silly with my little food blog. Snapping pictures of my dinner and writing “OMG YOU GUYS THIS IS SO DELICIOUS” to…whoever is out there in the internet ether. The thing is, I really do think the meals I post are delicious! When I make something that turns out to be … Continue reading
The other day, I was on a crowded elevator, which happens fairly often at my office. While on the elevator, one of my coworkers mentioned that she was uncomfortable on crowded elevators, because she wanted to know that if the elevator got stuck, she’d have a place to sit down. I had honestly never thought … Continue reading
I don’t always manage to watch Saturday Night Live when it airs each week, but I almost always manage to catch most of it on Hulu by Sunday night/Monday morning. A lot of weeks it’s not worth my time, but the episode Anne Hathaway hosted last weekend was 100% worth it. If anyone has any … Continue reading
So I honestly don’t know whether I’m behind the curve or ahead of it with this one, but this is my new favorite thing on the internet: hetexted.com. Basically, it’s women submitting screen shots of text messages from guys, and people get to vote on whether or not the guy is into her. It is … Continue reading
I think I’ve made pretty clear on this blog that I loooooove carbs. Carbs on carbs on carbs. I’m a carb monster. Us carb-monsters can usually be subdivided into smaller, carb-loving groups — some are pasta people; some are potato lovers. My mom, for example, is a pasta and potato lover, attacking mac-and-cheese, spaghetti, wavy … Continue reading
As far as I’m concerned, winter doesn’t start on December 21 — it starts on the first Monday after we roll the clocks back. There might not be snow on the ground, but if it’s dark out when I’m leaving work, it is definitely winter. Usually this day is a huge bummer (in my mind), … Continue reading
How’s everyone’s post-election hangover? Not too bad I hope! I usually like following elections and politics, but this year everything just got so…silly. What with Invisible Obama, binders full of women, Big Bird, etc…this was an especially exhausting campaign. I’m more than ready to retreat from all this silliness and start focusing on more important … Continue reading
