As promised, SOUP. Golden Globes Sunday is a holiday in my book, so I wanted to make a great dinner. And by dinner, I mean the meal I eat at 4PM when the Red Carpet pre-show starts. I intentionally did not call this “broccoli cheddar soup,” because while there is some cheese in it, the…

spaghetti with butternut and sage
Allow me to introduce you to the greatest road trip game of all time. The GS and I did a LOT of driving over the last 2 weeks, between heading to Syracuse for my grandma’s 90th birthday party (#AllHaleTheQueen) and then to Long Island for a wedding this weekend, we clocked in close to 20…
wedding gift ideas!
Aren’t you thrilled that I’m giving you ideas now that wedding season is basically over? File this one for next year. I can’t lie, I loathe shopping on wedding registries. Maybe this means that engaged couples hate me because I don’t like to buy what they’re asking for. I just can’t bring myself to do it…
grocery shopping on a budget
I’m going to dedicate this post to a passion of mine- GROCERY SHOPPING. When I started this blog I was just about to start graduate school, where I flirted with the poverty line for about 4 years. Even though I have a real job now, I still try to keep my spending under control, especially…
crème brûlée, almost.
This post is coming to you from O’Hare Airport in Chicago, where I’m waiting to catch a connecting flight to Iowa. I missed mine by about 10 minutes. I’m having great luck traveling so far, as you can see. Anyway- good time for blogging I think. For graduation, Aaron gave me a blow torch. This…
chipotle cucumber turkey pita
I know what you’re thinking. Hasn’t blogged in two weeks, and then returns with… a sandwich? Yes, that is actually the best I could do. As I mentioned I was in a car accident, car was totaled, needed to buy a new one, yada yada stress on my life. BUT I ended up going with…
15 minute spaghetti squash
I’m feeling a little bit like my life is in shambles right now, so I’m going to teach you how to make a healthy dinner in the microwave! I’ve made spaghetti squash before, but I stuck it in the oven which takes foreeeever. I lack patience. WAIT. I just looked up the last time I blogged…
tortilla crusted chicken
200 days until Kelly and Aaron tie the knot! (It works out really well that it’s a nice number, implying that I really planned ahead here. Spoiler alert: I didn’t.) A midst all of the planning for the event itself, everyone in the family is thinking about looking their best for the big day. Mom and…
valentine’s day dinner ideas
If you’re a slacker and you know it, raise your hand! I have been cooking, but nothing new or exciting. Mostly just kale on kale. This pasta with sausage and kale, and this kale salad. One night for dinner I just ate a plate of straight up sauteed kale with some garlic. That was a…
kitchen fails
That’s right, no new recipe this week. My apologies. I had some serious struggles last week. The first was supposed to be a roasted cauliflower and kale soup. Carrots, shallot, cauliflower, kale, vegetable stock. It tasted exactly how it sounds. I absolutely destroyed my kitchen pouring the concoction into the food processor. What I should have…
