I’m not one to do cute weekday-themed meals every week. Meatless Monday, Taco Tuesday… it all seems great in theory but I’m just not that dedicated. It’s more like Cereal and String Cheese Monday and Shit, Did I Eat Dinner Tuesday. In an effort to be, not only cute, but a semi-responsible adult, I’m fixing…
Typically, I drink beer. Which means I happened to have full bottles of wine just hanging out in my house. Life is hard, right? So I grabbed a bottle of pinot grigio and some of this winter fruit that came out of my stocking and I put it to good use. It’s a perfect easy…
Perhaps my favorite fall flavor combo is sage and butternut squash. Following this blog might result in a bit of overkill with it. Too bad, deal with it! Here, we have a classic chicken pot pie… that has an amazing punch from black forest bacon… then the warm flavors of butternut squash and sage crisped…
I am always looking for inspiration in my cooking. Not just for the website, but for my everyday life. Believe it or not, I don’t typically cook shit for myself. I eat black beans all the time for dinner because it’s easy. Or Chinese take out. In an effort to get some inspiration, I read…
My office is full of enablers. We all have snacking running through our veins… clogging our arteries. Within our small group, someone is always bringing in something. (More often than not, it’s me. Sorry guys!) The one snack that keeps making a comeback is Cheez-It Grooves. We are all mildly obsessed. I wouldn’t even call…
One of my favorite things in the world is Indian food. I love the depth of flavor you can achieve from dried spices and I’m seldom disappointed by a good curry. I even wanted to have Indian food for my wedding (having no actual Indian roots, my family poo pooed this idea). Some of my…
I decided that we all slack off a little too much. Want dinner? Sure. What do you want? Oh, I don’t know, I was thinking about throwing these sausages on the grill. Bullshit! You got an onion? You got some beer? Of course you fucking do. So why not do a whole hell of a…
In Ohio, we call them subs. In Philly, we call them hoagies. You can argue that there are subtle differences, but overall, they are the same thing. What you can’t argue is how much it sucks that they are primarily a lunch-food item. No more, my friends. I whipped up a solid, hearty breakfast hoagie…
I’ve done it you guys. I’ve shared the secret of my existence. Black bean bowls. I literally cook a pound of black beans every week and eat them throughout. I usually add some chicken sausage and veggies. It’s a no-brainer. It’s super quick and easy, it tastes great and it’s nutritious. Then I had the…
Fried chicken is good, right? And why is that? It’s because of the crispy, breaded chicken skin. Okay, hear me out. I know this is going to sound a little unconventional but… what if you got rid of the meat? I know that’s a fat girl move. I know that Twitter sensation, @shitfatgirlssay would be…
