I have a small love affair with this rib eye steak marinade. I wasn’t always a meat eater, though. If you’ll allow me a quick tangent, I was once an uber-enthusiastic vegan, but loads of food allergies forced me back to my original meaty ways.

KitchenAid Mixer Decals

March 13, 2009

Today I was surfing around Amazon and I ran across these decals for the KitchenAid mixer. I love my KitchenAid mixer, and I’ve always wanted to have it custom painted by my husband, who’s a brilliant artist. Unfortunately, he’s not even remotely motivated to paint my mixer. Meh. (HINT BIRTHDAY GIFT HINT) So, I guess [...]

Bacon Sauteed Asparagus Recipe

March 13, 2009

I love fresh asparagus recipes. And when I say fresh, I mean FRESH. There’s a world of difference between asparagus that’s hours old and days old – if you compare the two size by size, the taste difference is remarkable. Freshly cut asparagus is actually sweet, whereas anything over a few hours old turns slightly [...]

Bacon Rosemary Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe

March 9, 2009

The only thing that can make a garlic mashed potatoes recipe better is rosemary. Oh, and bacon (because doesn’t bacon turn everything up to eleven?). I love bacon. For health reasons I try not to eat it often, but occasionally I’ll make a recipe that requires bacon and I’ll find half a pound of the [...]

Winter Greens and Root Vegetable Soup Recipe

March 2, 2009

Apologies in advance for any lack of articulation in this post. I’ve fallen victim to the “winter blahs” and the caffeine just isn’t doing it for me, so today you get your daily dose of healthy recipes sans personality. I love soup, but for whatever reason I’ve always hated preparing it. This season all that [...]

Hickory’s Bacon Wrapped Chicken Recipe

February 19, 2009

I made a lot of food for Super Bowl Sunday, and it was all mighty good. For as nosh-worthy as my dishes were, though, my friend Hickory stole the show by wrapping something tasty in something even tastier. I’ve eaten all sorts of things wrapped in cured meat, but a simple chicken breast wrapped in [...]

Cashew Nut Butter Dates

October 21, 2008

Have you ever had cashew nut butter dates? Or dates with any other kind of nut butter? If not, you’re missing out. It’s no secret: I like to eat. A lot. But in my case I have to eat frequently, lest I get lightheaded, start talking gibberish, and have a panic attack. When you’re concerned [...]

Here’s another wonderful autumn dish, herbes de provence roasted potatoes and zucchini.

Slow Cooked Vegan Collard Greens

August 23, 2008

Having only ever had slow cooked vegan collard greens, I remember being so shocked when I learned that collards, cooked in their “traditional” form, aren’t even remotely vegetarian. Why take something so simply green and turn into something unhealthy? I was totally baffled. So I dug around and found a few vegan collard greens recipes, [...]

Roasted Cauliflower and Zucchini

August 3, 2008

How do I love roasted cauliflower and zucchini? Let me count the ways. As much as I love rice and baked goods, my body seems to give me the big old middle finger whenever I eat them. Consequently, I’ve been trying to cut down on the grains in my diet and have been fastidiously compiling [...]

I Don’t Give a F*** Vegetable Medley

July 23, 2008

I had a crap day yesterday, and by the time I got home, I didn’t want to cook. For hours I started wistfully at the bag of vegetables I’d brought home from the farmer’s market – I’d had such plans for them, but I just didn’t give a damn anymore. How did I deal with [...]

Blueberry Oatmeal, Gluten-Free

July 10, 2008

As someone who can’t have gluten, oatmeal was a thing of the past. There are many opinions on why it’s unsafe for those of the anti-gluten persuasion to consume oats, from theories that they are inherently glutenated to concerns of cross-contamination due to being processed by facilities that also mill and transport wheat products. The [...]
