Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
I think I've gotten a contact high from some paint job Rob was working on. Wooh. Not nearly enough ventilation in this apartment, that's for sure. I also made matters worse by busting out the grill pan and grilling up some bratwurst for lunch. The grill pan and brats produced a lot of smoke; I… Continue reading Thai Almond Zoodle Bowl
I took a risk over the weekend in the kitchen, and almost took the loss. It's not everyday I try something completely out of my comfort zone. I won't try to make my own pasta. I don't want to grind and stuff homemade sausage. Don't ask me to make a souffle, clafoutis, or creme brulee.… Continue reading Roasted Brussels Sprouts Caesar Salad
I've been digging on cauliflower since it became cool to eat it. I'm talking 20+ years ago, y'all. When I was a kid, my favorite veggie in a vegetable tray was the raw cauliflower (dunked in oodles of ranch, of course). My family has been using it as a side dish for years.

We roadtripped to Montana to meet with my family in Great Falls, traveled to Havre for my uncle's wedding, then… Continue reading Lemon Basil Pasta Salad
Who says potato salad has to only be a side dish? Throw some protein in there and you can eat it for a nice, chill lunch. Or, at least that's what I'm telling myself to make myself feel better for eating a bowl full of carbs for lunch today. My constant experimentation with potato salad… Continue reading BLT Potato Salad
I have to get something off my chest: I loathe melons. Watermelon and honeydew. Gross. I'd rather eat a handful of rocks than those two fruits. And don't even get me started on cantaloupe; that stuff was truly sent to earth by the devil. Cantaloupe has always been on my relatively short 'Do Not Eat'… Continue reading Peach Berry Summer Fruit Salad
In all my years on this planet, I've only made my own pesto once. Once! I've always just settled for the jarred stuff at the grocery store, not realizing how easy, and probably better for you, it would be to just make it myself. No preservatives, no weird ingredients you can't pronounce, and a good… Continue reading Roasted Vegetable & Pesto Quinoa
