This is the weekend we say goodbye to summer, isn’t it? Dislike. Rather than having a relaxing LDW at the lake, we’re making a quick trip up to Long Island tomorrow for a wedding, driving back after the reception, and flying to Louisville on Sunday morning for an engagement party. I know what you’re thinking….

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…
dinosaur cornbread
If you’re not from Syracuse, you’re wondering if I made you cornbread in the shape of a dinosaur. Like the dinosaur chicken nuggets from elementary school! Because everything tastes better when it’s in a bizarre shape, right?! No. Just a copycat Dinosaur BBQ cornbread recipe that I was given by my home cook idol/second mother,…
beer battered onion rings
Last week Kelly, Aaron and I did a 3 day cleanse. It’s one I did before Thanksgiving last year, and I actually like it. Aaron lost 9 pounds even after completely cheating the last day and eating a reuben and a flatbread pizza for dinner. For reference, we were supposed to be eating green beans….
corn & poblano wrap
This is not an adequate title for all the lovely things in this wrap. It is, however, what the Real Deal Deli in Dedham, MA called the wrap which inspired this creation. I had this for lunch one day about a month ago when I was training in Massachusetts and I loooooved it. It’s always…
slow cooker pulled pork
I have spent the entire summer traveling all over the country every week, and somehow the only “famous” person I’ve seen was Jim Boeheim. And that includes two trips to California. This doesn’t seem fair. When I was in Phoenix, I had a chatty Lyft driver (not the creepy one who picked me up from…
ramen noodle salad
This one is coming from Phoenix! Holy hell it’s hot here. I landed last night at midnight and it was still ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN DEGREES outside. Then I had the creepiest Lyft driver ever who kept asking why I was being quiet and I was like “Uhh it feels like 3 AM to me,…
tzatziki chicken salad
How is it already August? I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised that this summer is flying given that I’ve been flying all over the place every week. This week I’m going to Philly which means I’m driving and I can already taste the freedom of just good old fashioned traffic. On my red-eye back…
two easy summer staples
GUESS WHAT? Yesterday was my 4 year Spill the Beans Blog-iversary. Can you believe it? That means you must have wasted hours of your life reading my words over the last four years. It’s been a really fun thing for me to do, and I definitely think it has forced me to get a little…
