My favorite term of endearment in French has always been mon petit chou chou, which literally translated means “my little cabbage cabbage”. The French use it to mean something like “my sweetheart,” and it may or may not actually refer to a pastry instead of cabbage. Regardless, the literal translation made me giggle when I [...]
The holidays are officially over, thank goodness. My skinny jeans are feeling a little snug, though, and this girl gets cranky when her skinny jeans are snug. Rather than telling myself what I shouldn’t eat (which inevitably results in an overwhelming urge to scarf down an entire batch of chocolate chip cookies), I’ve been filling [...]
What a weekend! I’m all tuckered out after a few fun-filled days with friends. Highlights include hanging out at the Dustbowl Art Market, making faces in a photo booth, sipping on [numerous] free cocktails and laughing over classic diner fare at breakfast. Last night we danced away to my friends’ 90s band, which made me [...]
Good evening! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I’m a bit behind on my holiday cocktail series this week. Photographing a drink after 5 on weekdays has proved impossible so the series may become a weekend affair. No collection of holiday cocktails would be complete without hot spiked cider, so today I present [...]
First of all, I hope all of my fellow Americans enjoyed a marvelous Thanksgiving. You know, I don’t mention this often enough, but I am sincerely thankful for all of you—visitors, readers, commenters, followers—and greatly appreciate your support. This blog wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for your constant encouragement. Sometimes I just want to run [...]
It’s finally feeling like fall here in Oklahoma. Yellow and red leaves are falling from the trees after our first frost and I’ve pulled my boots and coats out of hiding. As usual, Oklahoma weather is unpredictable and tomorrow we’ll enjoy a sunny, 70 degree Thanksgiving. I’m not complaining! Today, on Thanksgiving eve, I thought [...]
I don’t know where to begin with these enchiladas, so I will say this: holy smokes, they are good. Stuffed with scrambled eggs, sautéed portobello mushrooms and roasted red pepper, and smothered in a spicy, smoky homemade roasted poblano sauce with a hint of cinnamon—they’re better than good. These enchiladas are truly incredible. Like huevos [...]
Baking on Saturday afternoons has become a weekly ritual. After working on my computer from my couch all week, I like to be up on my feet on the days in between. Reaching high for bags of flour, plucking spices from the rack, grabbing my camera and hopping up onto the chair for an overhead [...]
Sometimes I hesitate to post everyday meals that seem almost too simple to share. Then I reconsider—if I get excited about new ideas for easy meals that don’t require an extra trip to the store or a lot of time to prepare, then there’s a good chance that you all will feel the same way. [...]
Meet my new favorite snack, spicy sweet potato hummus! It’s brilliant orange and bursting with flavor, both savory and sweet. I’ve been eating it with everything: pita wedges, bite-sized vegetables, toasted bagels and quesadillas. I’m pleased to share photos of this vegan recipe with you all, which is the first of my monthly contributions to [...]
I’m back! I felt like my brain was running at half speed while I had that head cold. My thoughts seem to be clearing as my symptoms have lifted, but now I’m presented with an overwhelming workload and would rather crawl back under the covers with Cookie. So it goes. I’m taking a little break [...]
Well friends, I had every intention of posting a recipe or two last week, but a sore throat got in the way. I lugged my laptop along on a four day trip to Cleveland but spent every spare moment trying to sleep off this head cold. I’ll try to share more about my trip later [...]
All summer long, I admired other blog’s recipes for soup but broke into a sweat at the mere thought of sipping from a steaming bowl. Tomato and bell pepper soups taunted me most since they contain my very favorite flavors. It just didn’t seem fair that my favorite ingredients grew during the hottest season of [...]
I’ve been bursting to share this recipe with you all, but haven’t found the right words to describe this salad. So many come to mind: beautiful, vibrant, fresh, flavorful. Not to mention that it’s raw, vegan, packed with phytonutrients and about as healthy as it gets. None of those words or phrases do this salad [...]
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: it’s too hot to do any serious cooking or baking. Hence summertime seems prime for raw food recipes. When I got a waitressing job at the fancy raw food restaurant, I promised to share a few raw food recipes on the blog. I came up with [...]
I begin this post with an urgent plea: you must try this. If you like savory sweet potatoes like I do, you’ll go mad for this easy baked sweet potato recipe. You’ll dream about it. I know, because I did. Due credit goes to my friend and neighbor, Matt, who improvised the sweet potato toppings. [...]
Confession: I’m a pesto fanatic, but I had never actually made my own until recently. I was intrigued by Barbara Kingsolver’s method of making pesto in bulk in Animal, Vegetable, Miracle (which Lesley kindly shipped to me from Bordeaux!). However, my baby basil plant isn’t nearly big enough to produce mass quantities of pesto, so [...]
Behold! My first attempt at making homemade macaroni and cheese was just as quick and tasty as Erin promised. I used whole wheat pasta shells and reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese, so it didn’t knock me into a creamy carb coma afterward. I also tried roasting broccoli for the first time—yum! The combination of cheesy [...]
