Years ago, I wanted to write a cookbook called Yuppie food made with white trash ingredients. This salad would have been included in that cookbook. You brown Ramen noodles in butter, for goodness sake. If that’s not lowbrow, I don’t know what is.
But when it’s all dressed and plated, it’s a beautiful salad, and everyone...
I like to call this sort of dish swanky white trash … or, who am I kidding, maybe just plain ‘ol white trash. There’s a very good chance the swanky part is all in my head.
We had an Easter brunch yesterday and they were served along side mimosa’s and vegetarian quiche. Plus, I totally served...
This tiramisu will make you famous among your friends. It is amazing.
The first time you make it, expect to be in the kitchen all damn day. There are a lot of steps. But it’s worth it, and after that first time, it goes much quicker.
The recipe is from Bon Appetit magazine in the early ’90’s....
Everyone loves Chinese Chicken Salad. First of all, everything is chopped up into small, fork sized pieces for you (all of my favorite salads are chopped salads), and then you have the added bang of the crispy won-tons (or chow mein noodles in this case). Top that with a fresh-tasting sprinkle of cilantro and …...
It’s spring time, so make a new healthy habit and make some bran muffins! Here is the recipe again – You probably have most of the ingredients on hand, just swing by the health food store and pick up some wheat bran.
A cute video of Ben filling muffin tins last week, for inspiration:
Notice: Upcoming videos, with me in them, might show a growing belly.
I am delighted to announce we’re expecting our third child July 31st. I promise to post lots of great recipes and info before that time, so you have plenty to cook and experiment with while I take some time to get to know...
Glorious, amazing, creamy macaroni and cheese. What could be better? Nothing comes to mind right this minute, so I’ll just have to stick with the mac & cheese. I love it with some protein – fried tofu or grilled chicken or steak and some Sriracha (rooster sauce) drizzled all over the top.
And on these nights,...
Here’s my lunch plate yesterday:
I warmed up leftover pesto pizza and made a quick salad of greens my friend, Marshall Sanders, makes here locally.
Tuesday nights I work late. My amazing hubby handles the kids and makes dinner (and usually cleans the dishes up too … he’s my hero!) For my part, I usually try to...
I’ve been a pitiful blogger this past week. The runny nose season has hit our household, and I always get every cold the kids have. We also took a quick trip to Florida (My favorite pic from the weekend)…
…but back to the main topic, granola balls.
My friend, Diana, made these for a party one day,...
This recipe came from my mother-in-law. You will see lots of recipes from her and her hubby (my father-in-law) because they are amazing cooks and top notch entertainers. I have learned so much from them, and our lives together have only just begun (in the scope of things).
You know how when there’s a bowl of...
