So much to say, so little time to type it up. I’m in a deadline crunch for the next few days, but I have several posts in the works that I can’t wait to share! First up: Mark Bittman’s roasted red pepper pesto for The Food Matters Project. I had no doubt that I’d love [...]
Welcome to the first recipe for The Food Matters Project! Sarah and I have worked hard to make this project happen and I’m so glad we’ve finally begun. Sarah picked a gorgeous recipe to start us off—it’s vibrant, vegetarian, and strikes just the right balance between spicy and sweet—all of my favorite recipe elements in [...]
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 [...]
Today I present a supremely easy, light and healthy one-pot pasta dish. Start to finish, I bet you could pull this together in fifteen to twenty minutes. It’s super versatile, too. If you don’t like gorgonzola, use a different kind of cheese! Find a beautiful bunch of chard? Sub chard for the spinach! Add roasted [...]
I stayed up too late editing these photos last night and woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Self-doubt crept in overnight; I was suffering from a bad case of “not enoughs”. I felt like I was not pretty enough, not thin enough, not productive enough. Fortunately I have gained a [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Oklahoma weather never abides by the calendar and while it may be fall, the season for summer squash isn’t over yet. I’ve already decorated my apartment with miniature pumpkins in eager anticipation, but it’s 90 degrees outside and I’m going to eat zucchini and bell peppers while I still can! I couldn’t resist these cute [...]
First of all, I am genuinely astonished that I haven’t told you all about my huevos rancheros. It’s high time that I introduce you to one of my all-time favorite meals, but first, I’ll share a little personal history with the dish. It took me a long time to give huevos rancheros a chance (24 [...]
A couple of months ago, I happened across a most magnificent vendor at the farmers’ market. She was selling tie-dyed shirts and bright green basil—lots and lots of it. I felt like a kid in a candy store when I scored six cups of basil for nine dollars under the shade of her colorful tent. [...]
