Whadda ya know, things are moving so fast over here that I completely spaced on reaching my 100th post! You know, the one about that possibly perfect salsa? Yeah, that marked triple digits, buddy. I’m feeling rather accomplished, I have to say, and we should definitely acknowledge the props you all deserve for sticking with me. I know things can get a little willy-nilly around here sometimes like, all the time, so thanks for hanging around. Sidebar: every time I use that crossy-outty text I wonder if I’m using it right. Like, should I have crossed out “all the time” … Read More
The Best Tomato Salsa You Will Ever Eat, new P&Q schedule and lists galore!
The windows are a’open, new Daft Punk is a’playin’ and I’m a’stuffin’ my face. (Ooh, sounded a little Italiano on that last one.) In sum: it’s turning out to be quite a lovely day. I’m pretty eager to get on to what will become your go-to, year-round salsa (yep, it’s that good), but first: a few exciting announcements. Hooray! (Should we make them look like a list? I think we should. Wait, is that a bad idea because it will push the pretty Facebook and Twitter images I made too far down the page? Is that bad marketing? Probably. Oh screw … Read More
Vegan Black Bean & Sweet Potato Sliders with Sweet-Tart Tzatziki
A couple of years ago, My Vegan Friend Mike turned me onto this recipe for black bean burgers from Emily Malone over at Daily Garnish, effectively setting into motion two things: 1) my unhealthy hatred-via-jealously obsession with this decidedly superior Emily, who I had determined was put on this planet solely for my misery, and 2) my love of homemade black bean burgers. Clearly, I have issues. Happily, Emily and I have since resolved things in our relationship (if you count a long-winded email in which I confess to her by just how much she’s kicking my ass at Emilyness … Read More
Mother’s Day Roundup: Brunch-Worthy Bomb-Noms
Yesterday was one of the downest days I’ve experienced in a while. One of those days that makes you crave the comfort of things like good girlfriends and sushi. And frozen yogurt. And beer. At one point I think I literally uttered the phrase “I want my mommy.” Fortunately, with this weekend being Mother’s Day, I can look forward to plenty of QT with both mommy and mommy-in-law, and I can already tell it promises to be just what the doctor ordered. Of course, a swimming pool of ramen and a hammock of Vic’s cappuccino chip ice cream couldn’t hurt … Read More
An exciting new venture — and…tamales!
I hope you’ve got your maracas handy, because you know what today is? Big Reveal Sunday! Fortunately, Big Reveal Sunday also coincides with Cinco de Mayo, which is incredibly handy since the two are actually a bit related. How boggled is your mind right now? I’ve alluded a couple of times on this blog (and on Facebook. And Twitter — what? I’m excited!) that I’ve been working on a fun foodie project on the side, and today I’m positively giddy to reveal that I’ve joined the team over at Joyus.com as one of their food hosts! Joyus is an online … Read More
