My week days consist of me telling people they can’t eat broccoli. Or brussel sprouts or kale or god-forbid any greens – including but not limited to turnip and collards. And do not even think about spinach. But I feel really bad about the broccoli. I blame the drug they’re on…it is the main reason. Continue reading “Broccoli Salad”

Asparagus and Shrimp Stir Fry w/ Farro
Morning shows are not generally my thing…unless we are talking Sportscenter – then I am totally game. As a female, I feel the need to explain this habit. You see, I grew up with brothers…therefore, mornings were comprised of Frosted Flakes and SportsCenter and after 18+ years of this ‘torture’, don’t ya know I foundContinue reading “Asparagus and Shrimp Stir Fry w/ Farro”
Shrimp and Grits
Ever feel like you are just one step behind, just a little late. I think I am perpetually meant to be one step behind, I mean, I am kind of good at it. Getting to the party just a little past fashionably late. Where you sneak in and close the door quietly behind you soContinue reading “Shrimp and Grits”
Baked Mac and Cheese
Sooooo…. how do you get wax off carpet? Red, cinnamon scented wax. A spot the size of a large pickle. That is all I can come up with. A pickle. Stan is none too pleased with me. His place in front of the fire has been disturbed. I am none too pleased withContinue reading “Baked Mac and Cheese”
Apple Butter Bacon Pizza
Apple butter is probably one of my favorite foods this side of the Mississippi. Now if you go west of the Mississippi, all bets are off. I mean, who knows what I will encounter. Wisconsin and a whole state of cheese are west of the Mississippi…While apple butter would surely hold a spot in theContinue reading “Apple Butter Bacon Pizza”
Polenta w/ Gorgonzola, Toasted Walnuts, & Honey
I had this for dinner and seriously contemplating eating the leftovers for breakfast. And by seriously contemplating…I mean I am dead set on it. It’ll be good at 5am, right? No? Maybe? Wait, what?!? Gorgonzola cheese is not your cup of tea before noon? Hmm….Fine. I understand. My stomach is weird. I can eat anythingContinue reading “Polenta w/ Gorgonzola, Toasted Walnuts, & Honey”
Shrimp Curry
I made myself a legit dinner. There was no cereal. No avocado egg sandwich. No popcorn. No cookie dough or brownies. No ‘big salad’ (can they bring Seinfeld back?) No frozen soup from the depths of my freezer. Multiple popsicles? Nah. You see, on most evenings, I don’t make dinner. Nor do I wantContinue reading “Shrimp Curry”
Summer Squash Stuffed Boats
I was standing in the middle of a parking lot, shoulder to shoulder with strangers on one side and gossiping/people watching with Mel on the other, just rows from the stage, preparing for what would be one of the best concerts I have ever been to, when my mind wandered to my hydrator and its contentsContinue reading “Summer Squash Stuffed Boats”
Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Chops
Some nights …. Some nights when I get home from work, dinner is that last thing on my mind. An actual, honest to goodness, dinner. One with a main protein and two sides. Served on an actual dinner plate. All prepared and ready to be enjoyed at the same time ( I am terrible atContinue reading “Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Chops”
Baked Mini Shells w/ Pork Sugo
Is it really Friday already? The Friday before Memorial Day weekend…seriously?!? The unofficial start to summer. Really? While I try to wrap my mind around the speed at which this year is unfolding, let’s do a week round-up. Because I am sure you are all intrigued at what has been happening around here these pastContinue reading “Baked Mini Shells w/ Pork Sugo”
