So, this amazing girl started posting about her carrot chips and carrot fries… and how gooood they were. And you know what? I wanted some too. So I thinly sliced some carrots. And warmed a few tablespoons of coconut oil in a pan over medium-high heat. And when the oil was hot, I threw in…
One of the best things in the world is hollandaise sauce. I’m not even kidding. On asparagus, for dipping artichoke leaves, over eggs benedict, or as a sauce for fish (or chicken, or veggies, or whatever). You will lick the plate. Unless there’s company over… in which case you’ll lick the plate in the kitchen…
I made this salad for lunch one day from leftover steak. It was pretty nice! Top some butterhead lettuce with carrot ribbons (just use a vegetable peeler on the whole carrot to cut it into thin strips). Add rasins, and toss with a honey mustard vinaigrette dressing. Plate and top with slices of cold leftover…
I’m a finalist in a contest over at Mark’s Daily Apple… the concept was to poke fun at conventional wisdom (for food/fitness/lifestyle) by using a clever post-it note. Here’s my submission: I think I had a clever concept and great photo… AND I prefer the real post-it photos to the photoshopped ones (seems they take…
This dish had great flavor but it wasn’t my favorite thing in the world. If I were to make it again, I’d probably sautee the veggies separately and serve them beside the chicken, which I would cook with the marinade but without the stock… basically, I’d bake the chicken, not braise it. I wouldn’t go…
I posted a lighter, more salad-like spaghetti squash recipe earlier, but if you need something with protein and heft, this is another way to eat that versatile veggie. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit. Cut your spaghetti squash in half, and de-seed it. Place cut-sides-down in a baking dish and bake for 40 minutes….
For these smooth addictive (be careful!) summertime treats, you’ll need: 1/2 cup heavy cream 2 Tbsp whole milk 1 Tbsp maple syrup 1 Tbsp cocoa powder 1 tsp instant coffee granules 4 Popsicle molds Although my Popsicles were a little on the not-full side, so depending on the size of your molds, you may or…
If you’re lucky like my friend Shar, your garden is bursting with more cucumbers than you can handle. If you’re unlucky like me, your cucumber plants are dead, but you can still get them at the store (or from Shar). This cucumber tomato salad is one of my favorite parts of summer, and I can’t…
This crustless quiche was delicious and caused a buzz in my household (er… my husband and I had a conversation like, “This is good.” “I think so too.” “You should make it again.” “I think I will”). For the “stuff”: 1 pound of bacon, cut into small pieces and cooked 1 pint of sliced mushrooms,…
Quick post, not bogged down with too many words… just yum. For the burgers… Probably about 1.5ish pounds of ground beef 1 egg 1 t. paprika 1 t. salt 1 t. pepper 2-3 T Worcestershire sauce 1 t. onion powder Mix it together, shape into patties of whatever size you’d like, and grill. The guacamole…
You see, there are these little penguins… with pitchers. And in the middle of the night, they fill up their pitchers at the faucet.They take the water to the freezer. It’s like a bucket brigade, Emily. It’s actually like slave labor — horrible working conditions. But we’re looking into improving their wages. They’re paid by…
