My little buddy Kev is sick! They think he might have mono. Instead of being a cliche big sister and making the “who have you been kissing??” joke, I made a more productive suggestion for all this school time he’s missing. So rude. Luckily now I have a NEW BROTHER (in-law) who returned from his…

sweet potato sausage egg stack
I just typed out a whole post about how this recipe was accidentally Paleo, even though I’m not on the Paleo diet and have no interest in being on the Paleo diet. Then I Google’d the Paleo diet, and realized that I was wrong about what exactly qualifies as Paleo. This is what happens when…
lightened-up chicken divan
Last weekend I hosted a wine tour bachelorette party at camp for my friend Sarah. I’ve been to the wineries a gajillion times (mostly for the wine slushies- let’s be real) but it was fun to do it with a big group, especially with people who have never been before! I also made four pounds…
crockpot sesame chicken
Happy 2014! I’m still at home in Syracuse, where the weather is playing mind tricks on me and I’ve been doing more sewing than socializing, as usual. We had a great New Year’s Eve out at camp, during which we played this ridiculous game that Kelly found. We each had on a necklace and if…
my go-to weeknight dinner
I sincerely apologize for my hiatus. I’ve been so bogged down with schoolwork that last Saturday night I was still plugging away on the couch late enough to hear all the fun kids coming home from the bars. I needed someone to shout “last call” for research on the middle latency response. Seriously, haven’t been…
butternut squash risotto with shrimp
Let’s talk risotto. Like bread pudding, I had never made nor eaten it before. But I’ve watched Giada make it a million times and decided I had the technique down. If Rice and Risotto are two kids you babysit for, Rice is the one that you can stick in front of a movie with a…
chicken with cashew nuts
I loved Thailand, but the next time I travel it needs to be to one of the other 75 countries that has Body Pump. I taught last night and then again this afternoon, and my entire body hurts. Except for my face, but that will change when I try to stand up and I start…
silom thai cooking school
Okay, jet lag sucks. I haven’t been able to stay up past 10:00, and last night I actually fell asleep while watching Revenge. Who does that?! But I just caught up on 2 weeks of How Sweet It Is and that breathed some life back into me. I want to make her latest crock pot…
stir fry
One week until I go home! When I talked to my mom today she was gushing about the 50 degree weather and sunshine in Camillus. I said “Damnit woman! I want a white Christmas.” Okay I didn’t actually say that. But one of the perks of living in Syracuse, NY is that a white Christmas is…
stuffed peppers
Why am I watching Kim’s Fairytale Wedding Part 1 again? Waste of life. It’s Halloween week! And I still don’t have a costume. Usually I’m the brains and the brawn behind the whole Halloween operation- I come up with the idea and do the majority of the construction. And I love it. But this year…
