“‘Eating greens is a special treat. It makes long ears and great big feet. But it sure is awful stuff to eat.’ I made that part up myself.” Poor Thumper, he just needed his greens to be more palatable. So that’s what this is. Spinach and kale, covered in creamy, cheesy goodness. Creamed spinach, turned…
The final half of the final season of Game of Thrones is upon us and we’re all wondering the same thing: Who wins the game? Each week, I’m going to do a theme recipe for each of my guesses for who will sit on the iron throne in the end. Since I’ve planned these out…
The world is a cruel and dark place. The most beloved show of all time (that’s a claim I’m making without basis but I feel to be true) is beginning its last season. Game of Thrones. Was that not clear? Even worse, it’s being split up over the next two years. If that’s not George…
Fear the Walking Dead—I don’t dig mid-season bullshit, but AMC seems to be all about it. So here we go. The Fear the Walking Dead break is almost over. While I enjoyed season 1, I was a little disappointed about the ramp up being so rapid. I wanted a bit more pre-downfall of civilization. It…
Looking through the thick curtain of trees and darkness, Daryl thought about what he’d done. It had been several months since he left the group and went back down to Georgia. He left behind his family. The only people, save Meryl, that he’s ever cared for. But what could he do? He was so sick…

We all change. Our palettes develop. We become more refined. But I had this hunch that my palette does not think it’s too good for Spam. I think it’s one of those things where it gets a bad rep because it’s processed, packaged in a can and has one of those gross-long shelf lives. But…
The concept of comfort food is really dependent on your life experiences. But whoever you are, there’s nothing better than comfort food in the dead cold of January. Personally, I love grilled cheese, mashed potatoes, baked beans, mac and cheese, chicken pot pie… shit, now I’m hungry. Which is why I’m happy I did this……
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…
There are some stories that are just infamous in every family. The time gramma read your love letters, the time mom walked through the screen door and, for me, the time my husband told me my stuffed peppers weren’t how his mom used to make them. (I’m sure it’s payback for the years of razzing…
