Anyone else feel like they’re in the middle of a baby boom? I feel like there are a lot of new, little people in my life lately. And — in what I hope is a weird coincidence and not the set-up for some sort of apocalyptic world where the human race dies out — they’re … Continue reading
I know it’s BASICALLY SPRING AND ALL, but I can probably squeeze one last chili recipe in under the wire, right? I guess I’ll just give it a try and wait to see if I hear from the food blog police. So! This chili is crazy simple to make (and very good, too), but I … Continue reading
My dad is a strong opponent of anything “fou-fou.” Especially fou-fou beer. My dad likes beer, but only beer of the non fou-fou variety, which includes Keystone Light, Bud Light, maybe Coors Light in a pinch, and never Miller Light. Most other beers fall under the fou-fou umbrella, including any of the beers I like, … Continue reading
How’s everyone’s post-Super Bowl Monday morning going? Did you make it into work, or are you one of the 1.5 million people suffering from Super Bowl flu today? We went to a great Super Bowl party full of fun people, friendly wagers, and (way too much) delicious food…but good grief, wasn’t that a terrible Super … Continue reading
Chili was one of my favorite dinners growing up. It’s one of the few meals I remember both of my parents cooking from time to time (dad usually did the weeknight cooking, while mom did weekends and special occasions). I don’t even remember then doing anything particularly fancy with their chili — I think it … Continue reading
So today’s kindof a good-news, bad-news day for me. The good? No work. The bad? I am finally sucking it up and getting my wisdom teeth out. Booooooo. Have you guys all done this? I feel like I’m pretty late to the wisdom-teeth-out party. They’ve never especially bothered me, and none of them are impacted, … Continue reading
Look at my new toy! I’ve wanted one for a long time now, but I was holding off because they are so dang expensive! Luckily I’m married to a pretty great guy, and he surprised me with one for our two-year anniversary! #woot #humblebrag #onsecondthought #regularbrag #sorryimnotsorry …anyway. Anyway! To celebrate/thank him/play with my awesome … Continue reading
Even though this blog now has more than two hundred recipes on it (!), this is not the only place where I keep track of recipes. Not by a long shot. The blog has recipes I’ve tried, enjoyed, managed to photograph, and felt were worth sharing…but I’ve got hundreds (thousands?) of other recipes in my files, … Continue reading
Do you have a PERFECT CHEESEBURGER? Like, a cheeseburger you would request on your deathbed? Mine goes like this: sourdough bun, toasted, with butter (obvi). All-beef burger cooked medium-rare. Then melted pepperjack cheese and crispy bacon, followed by crispy fried onions (the kind from a can, I know) and some sort of artery-clogging chipotle-ranch sauce. … Continue reading
Any Homeland fans out there? Until a few weeks ago, this was all I knew about Homeland, and it definitely didn’t sound like anything I’d be interested in. Angela Chase and Inigo Montoya run around trying to catch terrorists? No thanks. (Actually, strike that, that sounds pretty awesome) Either way, we don’t get Showtime, so … Continue reading
