Hawaiian Street Corn with SPAM + Pineapple (gluten-free)

Hey guys, and welcome to Day Two of Street Corn Two Ways. It’s a pretty efficient series. Yesterday, we started things off with this classic Mexican Street Corn thingy and today we’re wrappin’ it on up with an islandy (I guess? For lack of better descriptor?) spin that’s sweet and salty and soy-y and scallion-y and best of all bests — SPAMMY. *contented sigh* SPAM is, no joke, one of my most favorite food groups ever. Like, remember that time I was like, “out with factory farmed meat!” Um, canni tell you a secret? I never ditched the SPAM. (Shhhhhhhhhh, fancy … Read More

Pineapple-Mint Coconut Water Frappé (vegan, paleoish)

This morning I woke up with sunshine practically pouring out of ears, my heart lighter ‘an air and a serious spring in my step. It’s summer, you guys. Not almost summer or might as well be summer but the real thing. Warm. Glorious. And my day planner Google Cal is finally awash with long, sleepy weekends, fancy pants dinners and aeroplane travel to places near and far. Columbus, Las Vegas, Puerto Vallarta. Tahoe, Mammoth — and, if I can swing it, maybe even a late summer roadtrip through the Pacific Northwest. It’s a lot in a little time, and before I know it, … Read More

Bonus Post: Fresh Pineapple Shortcakes with Raspberry Sorbet (and a P&Q birthday)

One year, 126 posts and a whole lot of random lingo. Lango. Lingo-lango. It’s been a ride. Tremendous thanks to everyone who’s dropped in on my little corner of the innerweb, and especially to those who have hung around for more than a post or two. I know it’s gets weird sometimes, you guys. You’re troopers for sticking it out. Here’s to another year of pigging, quilling and nonsensical kitsch. Let’s stick a candle in this B and celebrate, shall we? So much love, Em (P.S. Oh yeah – the recipe. Vanilla-scented pineapple, tart sorbet and toasty, multi-grain shortcake. Berfday … Read More

Berry Tropical Sunrise Smoothie (guest starring: carrots!)

I smell Chinese food. No, not like the dead people thing. Like I am currently smelling Chinese food, and it’s driving me insane. One, because Chris is sitting across from me wolfing down white corn tortilla chips, which in no way can or should smell like Chinese food. And two, because I’m fairly certain I’ll begin gnawing on the Pottery Barn catalog if a platter of black bean chow fun does not find its way into my face in the next 60 seconds. Perhaps I’m being just a touch dramatic. And now I’m hardly sure where to go from here. … Read More
