Lately I've been doing really quick throw together meals that can be ready in under 30 minutes. That means I have been using a lot of store bought, short cut products. Normally I stay away from...
In my adulthood, I have come to adore barbecue sauce. As a kid, I frequently avoided any of it unless I knew it had proven to be smokey and spicy without the slightest hint of sugary sweetness....
Whew, I have emerged from a waist deep pile of fabric and costumes for a brief period of time. Who knows what I'll get myself into after this, but for now I can enjoy all the freshness of spring...
After Tennessee's late but fairly brief stint at winter, spring is in the air!! We have finally turned off the heat, and when we had people over a couple nights ago, we opened the windows to a...
Tomorrow the hubs has a Brazilian jiu jitsu tournament. He registered for the 195 division (that is with the gi on). That meant we needed to really watch what we at this past week. He only needed...
This was the other half of my husband's birthday breakfast, along with sweet potato grits. It may not seem like the manliest of dishes, but I have yet to meet a dude who doesn't like quiche...
I first ran across the idea of sweet potato grits over at one of my all time favorite blogs, The Chubby Vegetarian. Several weeks ago, for Louis's birthday I made a version of them for breakfast. I...
It took me awhile to decide what to post today; I haven't cooked anything overly romantic or sexy/love inspired lately. Then, I briefly became very depressed with my life, because I learned that...
This little piece of meat terrified me. No joke. It is strange that a little over a pound of meat (2 tenderloins) has the power to reduce me to quivering procrastination. Because venison has next...
Cauliflower is such an underutilized vegetable. I am guilty of bypassing it most weeks in the grocery store. I love it raw, but cooking it has always been tricky for me. It takes a lot longer to...
This sauce is very similar to the coconut curry sauce I made for some lobster. There are a few minor differences, so I decided make it a separate post. This sauce is great for any stir-fry, but I...
Obviously we eat meat in my house. So you may be wondering why I am writing about tofu. It's because tofu is delicious when handled properly. Not only it is tasty, it is nutritious and cheap. You...
This looks like an average bowl of chili. But it is special. Very, very special. Deer. Beer. Chili. Three awesome things combining to form an ultimate trifecta of kickass. If you don't hunt or you...
Among the various wrapped gifts I received at Christmas, I was also given a plastic grocery bag full of turnips. That may not seem like a very exciting thing, but they were much appreciated. I...
I hope everyone had a great December and whatever holiday you choose to celebrate (unless it was that Nonsecular Human Light Existence of whatever... that is stupid. Just celebrate the damn...
Oh no! 5 days until Christmas and you need another gift?! I suggest you rush over Arrington Vineyards RIGHT NOW! This year, AV introduced two seasonal vintages for the holidays, one red and one...
I don't know about you, but I like to spread out my Holiday cookie making. I think I've made at least one batch of cookies a week for the last month. But, now that Christmas is literally just...
I love creamed spinach, and this little idea popped into my head a few days ago. It was pretty awesome idea, if I do say so myself. It is great side that is simple yet unexpected. But a brunch...
I spent early this morning the best way I could possibly imagine: a face-full of tears, excitement, and utter exhilaration! The Hobbit was fantastic; it was everything I hoped it would be and more....
It is pretty fucking amazing that I have been able to even remotely keep my cool this week. Because, you know, the first installment of The Hobbit comes out in less than 48 hours. I would love to...
I haven't shared a new pizza recipe in a while. It is probably some vain, unconscious attempt to make you think we don't eat a lot of pizza. Actually, we haven't had pizza in a few weeks and I...
My entire life, I heard that brussel sprouts and spinach were the two most dreaded foods of children everywhere. I could consume my body weight in broccoli as a child, so green things were not...
A Thai curry seemed the only logical option for those monster lobster tails. This a very slight variation of my regular coconut stir-fry sauce. You can put whatever meat or vegetables in this as...
Sometimes my boss orders the wrong thing. Like when he is supposed to order 5-6 oz lobster tails, but he orders 15-16 oz tails instead. That is a 5qt pot with two tails for your reference. They...
OMG. Whirlwind of prepping and food. I didn't take pictures of anything; I had NO time. Between work, friends, and family, I had three Thanksgivings. I feel like the only feasible thing to do is...
Ohmehgerd! The first pumpkin recipe of the year! And it is pretty exciting. I am eating right now. This may be one of the best quick bread I have ever made. Bonus, it is pretty healthy. The chunks...
I don't want to think about how my future as a young, educated, relatively poor woman is in total jeopardy today, and that this is the most important election of my short voting life so far. So...
I was lucky enough to be given a venison roast a few weeks ago. A guy I work with was cleaning out his freezer in preparation of this year's regular deer hunting season which opes very soon here in...
I was super excited who I found Linzano salsa at the little Mexican market near my house. It is difficult to find in the States. Linzano salsa is a vegetable based condiment that is really popular...
Roasted chick peas have become one of our favorite things. Slow roasting them makes them a little crunchy and they become the perfect satisfying snack or side. In what may have been a mini stroke...
