Yesterday was Kelly and Aaron’s 1 year wedding anniversary! After much careful observation while living with them over the past year, I’ve concluded that they are ready to live alone. Just the two of them, with no tenant. So I’m moving out! It will be a big step for their marriage to lose me, but I’m…

orzo with deconstructed pesto
Does anything make you sound like more of a pretentious jerk than describing something as “deconstructed?” I don’t think so. In fairness, my intention for this dish was to just make regular old pesto. But a certain married couple that I live with is a liiiiiittle bit possessive over their Ninja blender and took it…
shrimp salad
This weekend my best friends got married! To each other! It was a beautiful wedding and so much fun to have some of the Loyola crew back together again. A couple of days before the wedding I went to get my nails done. I had purchased a Groupon to a new nail studio in Canton…
how to use grilled veggies 3 ways
High of 99 today folks! Doesn’t that make you want to go fire up your grill? LOL no. But timing these blog posts has never been a strength so I’ll fill you in anyway. This weekend the GS and I invited ourselves over to our friends’ house. They’re getting married this weekend! So we wanted…
caprese burgers
Enter: my new favorite burger. This is such a simple concept I can’t believe I didn’t think of it sooner. I think these would also be adorable as appetizers at a summer party in slider form. In this case, the four of us ate them for Sunday dinner at like 9PM after playing 9 holes…
zucchini lasagna
Holy moly I’ve let this get away from me. Work has been INSANE and therefore I haven’t been cooking anything new. Going to all my old standby recipes, or eating cereal for dinner. Shit happens. Over the 4th we went to Rhode Island to get some R&R and hang with the GS’ family. I always…
smoky shrimp burgers
This week the GS and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary! It’s kind of crazy that he’s tolerated me for this long. I said something outrageous on Sunday and he just looked at me and said “Sometimes I wonder about the things that go through your brain that you choose NOT to say.” He doesn’t…
mediterranean chicken burgers
I seem to recall a cute little saying in elementary school, “April showers bring May flowers!” Was that just a way to make children growing up in Syracuse, NY feel better about the fact that even once it stops snowing, the weather is still going to be crappy for a few more weeks? Is there…
jalapeno chip crusted salmon
Enter: excuses for being MIA for the last two weeks. Enter: recipe for your next dinner party! This was the one meal I made while I was briefly back at home in between jet setting. I was in Chicago for a week, and I’ve since been to Florida and now in Virginia Beach. I’m ready…
cauliflower & orzo salad
On Sunday night all my dreams came true when I got an email from the Onondaga Free Library telling me that Chrissy Teigen’s cookbook Cravings was available for my Kindle. I read the book in its entirety on Sunday night, but I had to wait to finally make something because I’ve been on the road all week….
