I made this for the first time when I was doing Whole30 with Patrick and it’s been a recipe that stuck around ever since. That confession will probably get me excommunicated from the serious Whole30 community, but just remember that is how much I love you, my blog followers and friends. Even though this milkshake […]

As cliché as making deviled eggs for Easter brunch might seem, I don’t hear anyone complaining. Deviled eggs are always the first dish to disappear at the church potluck. Or maybe that is just my perception because Patrick can miraculously eat his weight in deviled eggs and ask for more, please and thank you. There […]

As I am writing this, it is Valentine’s Day and I cannot think of anything more annoying than making my favorite brownie recipe and not being allowed to eat even the tiniest bite. Of course, that was the self-assigned cooking task for this morning. Damn you, Whole30 diet. I did not make the brownies to […]

I first learned of cauliflower rice when Patrick ingeniously made it for me last year. Yes, you heard me. My Carhartt loving husband who often wafts of eau de engine oil cologne made me cauliflower rice with sautéed tofu and veggies. Yes, I married up. And, I was hooked on cauliflower rice. Therefore the only […]

If you need a break from these dreary winter days, I have just the proposition. Lower the blinds, start a fire in the fireplace, turn on some cozy music, light a cinnamon pumpkin apple whatever-makes-you-feel-like-fall candle, and try this delicious and fall-inspired dish. You can pretend that the sticky hot days of summer have just […]

Approximately this time every year I get an intense urge to sell our home and move to one of the following places: San Diego, Phoenix, Austin, or any of the Hawaiian Islands. I literally (channeling my best Chris Traeger voice) just googled “Austin temperature right now” and HELLO 83 degrees! It’s. Just. Not. Fair. It […]

Lunch and I have always had a rocky relationship, especially when it comes to packing food to take to work. I have every minute of my morning routine mapped out from the blast of my alarm at 5:30am to 6:15 when I have to leave. Those 45 minutes are for coffee, waking up, more coffee, […]

The best white elephant gift I have ever received made this recipe possible. I am pretty sure the giver of a Veggetti Spiral Vegetable Slicer was thinking to themselves that someone was going to be stuck with an awkward sounding one-purpose kitchen item. HA. Little did they know I was not going to re-gift it or […]

I often tell my vegetarian best friend, Liz, that I could probably give up all meat for the rest of my life except bacon. And caramelized pulled pork. And turkey burgers. Ok, ok, I would make a lousy vegetarian. I admit it. Perhaps that is why I can actually picture myself going 30 days on […]

Hear ye, hear ye! Public service announcement coming your way. I propose we have a “national salad day” sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Anyone agree? It’s right about now that I feel as if stuffing, gravy, and baked brie are my main food groups. My refrigerator is full of heavy whipping cream, leftover pumpkin pie, […]
