Errr…

Friends and Fans – I know, I know, I know – my 5 days of oatmeal turned into 4 days of oatmeal. Having to leave at 7:30 am, an ungodly hour for me, for my week long training in NOLA barely even...

Caramelized Apple Oatmeal

This is like eating apple pie for breakfast. For real. You’re welcome. Good bye mediocre apple oatmeal with your chunks of flavorless and limp apples, hello warm, tart, sweet goodness! My hunt for...

Blueberry Maple Swirl Oatmeal

Welcome to day 3 of the oatmeal-a-thon! Today I bring you some blueberry goodness. This is a slightly sweeter oatmeal, as it has maple syrup in it (or you can sub brown sugar if you prefer), but...

Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal

Happy Easter and Happy Game of Thrones Season 3 Premiere Night! While you’re being inundated with a kaleidoscope of colored eggs, chocolate bunnies, and talk of resurrection, let me give you...

5 Days of Oatmeal!!

I have a new obsession: steel cut oatmeal. Remember my rants about how homemade soup makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside? Well, oatmeal makes me feel the same way. It’s hearty, creamy, easily...

Salmon Florentine

I am all about the quick dinner. There is a time and place for more arduous culinary adventures, but usually the weeknights are reserved for the simple and healthy. At least as far as I’m...

Crunchy Chickpeas Two Ways: Plain & Sriracha Lime

Jesus, I eat a lot of chickpeas. Mostly in hummus form. I’ve spoke a lot about my hummus addiction and it doesn’t seem to be waning, not one bit. I’m cool with it. There are worse things to be...

Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken Soup

It has been a rather nasty flu season, as the news tells me, but I have yet to experience it. Thank God. Not to jinx myself, but I don’t think I’ve had the flu since I was very young. What I do...

I ❤ New York

As Nemo (what kind of blizzard name is that?) blankets the east coast in white, I woke up thinking about my recent trip to New York. My very lovely friend Rebekkah lives in Brooklyn and graciously...

Homemade Maple Granola

The Pulp Kitchen is not a fancy blog. I don’t have a professional camera or lighting equipment – my iPhone and Snapseed app work fine. I don’t have an editor, save Derek from time to time. I don’t...

I ❤ Franklin Barbecue

You guys have heard this story already, right? Young married couple decide to open up a small bbq trailer in Austin and absolutely blow up the scene – so much so that crazy barbecue enthusiasts are...

I ❤ Bon Appétempt!

Photo source: www.bonappetempt.com Bon Appétempt is in my Top 5 favorite food blogs. She always manages to crack me up with her witty writing and ability to make fun of herself and everything else....

Healthy, Vegan, Gluten-Free Cookie Dough

This recipe is bananas. I found the reference to said recipe on Bonappetit.com some time ago, and it got stuck in my head. Truthfully, I’m not one for this type of thing. Yeah, I wanna lose some...

Pasta Bolognese

It is no lie that I love pasta. In my opinion, it’s comfort food at its finest. And post-grad job hunting is the soul-crushing, anxiety-inducing type of work that has me needing some serious...

I ❤ Via 313

Yesterday didn’t really go according to plan. The night before, I made this awesomely low-calorie and delicious dinner, chalk full of healthy stuff, thinking, “Wow, I feel great, I’m gonna keep...

To Brighten Your Day

I ❤ Saga

The last comic that I truly loved was one called Y: The Last Man. It came out in 2002 and it’s about the only man to survive the simultaneous death of all the male mammals on Earth. The story was...

The Best Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

Um, yeah, it’s been a while. Should I regurgitate lame excuses to the effect of, “I’ve been soooo busy,” or, “I just graduated and needed time off?” Nah. I could give many many excuses, because...

This for That

The sky is slowly changing colors, ushering in the set of storms that will revive this parched state, at least slightly. There is nothing like watching a storm roll in. In one direction it’s...

Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bites

I didn’t used to have such a sweet-tooth. Or maybe my metabolism was so good that I didn’t notice. Either way, now I find that I crave sweets pretty often. I mean, why do donuts have to be so...

Fresh Fig Salad with Goat Cheese, Pesto, and Balsamic Reduction

My domesticity has reached new heights. The night I made this salad I also made stuffed shells with homemade marinara, and baked a blueberry galette. A couple nights later I made a Cuban feast with...

Interview with Madly-yours

I wouldn’t call myself a fashionista, although I love to peruse Pinterest and fashion blog websites daily. Just like food and cooking, I feel that fashion can be representation of yourself, albeit...

Summer, Summer, Summer Time!

Summer Obsessions: 1. Fresh Cherries- I completely have lost all control when it comes to fresh cherries. See that portion below? That’s nothing. I can polish off a whole bag in a matter of...

Lamb, Feta, and Hummus Flatbread

I just found out that I’m an introvert. And I was apparently the last to know. Not that I thought I was particularly extroverted, I just didn’t think I was an actual introvert. What brought this...

Chicken Dijon

Despite the horrific news of another mass murder in Colorado, I intend to make this weekend worthwhile. And yes, I will be going to the theater to watch The Dark Knight Rises. No piece-of-s**t...

Fresh Berries in Ginger Lime Syrup with Mint and Toasted Coconut over Greek Yogurt

Brunch is one of the great pleasures in life, and it’s not just because of the day-drinking. Although that helps. It’s all about the sense of peacefulness and relaxation that accompanies a hearty,...

Crispy Kale Chicken Caesar Salad

Month-long break from school. I successfully channeled my inner Hermione Granger and kicked some serious butt this past semester. I may have even secured myself the Head Girl title, if such were...

Strawberry Cake

Spring is in the air. For those of us who were graced with a week of sheer laziness due to the school gods who make such awesome decisions, I hope it was relaxing. While younger college students...
