You guys. Parenthood is over. I just finished the Serial podcast. Vampire Diaries is getting a little off its game — even for Vampire Diaries. (But, attractive people…) And do we even want to talk about The Bachelor? This season is a freaking circus of crazies and the ring master is an unfortunately fauxhawk’d makeout slut with waaaaaay less facial hair than is necessary for the whole Iowa Farmer thing to be charming. (Also, that matte pink lipstick looks good on exactly none of you, so stop passing it around. JUSTSTOPIT. Jesus.) I think I need a detox from popular programming. Or maybe just a … Read More
(vegan) caramelized red kuri squash pasta with white wine and olive oil + news!
Caramelized Red Kuri Squash Pasta Recipe: A savory and surprisingly hearty vegan/vegetarian pasta ready in about 30 minutes (with GF variation). Pasta first — or news first? Let’s do pasta. Because, hello, it’s pasta. Or in Giada speak: PAHSS-teh. Luvluvluvluvluv. This one has been in the queue for only way too long. Back before I tricked you into making Thanksgiving in under an hour (you guys — it’s tomorrow. If you don’t have a game plan, you might want to click that link). Before I turned your delicata into a beautiful mess of garlicky stickyness that is anything but delicate. And … Read More
fried honey-garlic delicata with white miso + furikake // gf + vegan
You guys, I’m back from Boston, and I had more good times with the bestie than one is supposed to have on a “work” trip, I’m almost certain. We ate all the things (you should def skim Insty for the recap — ps, follow me! :)) and walked all the places (it’s normal to draw every comparison between Hogwarts and Harward, right?). We even cooked LIVE lobbies for the first time ever, and no one died (well…). But but but! They didn’t scream! So it was about 900 times less traumatic (for me) than I expected. Also, when I say we … Read More
spicy pineapple + parsley salad with avocado + chilies
Greetings from Boston, friends! I just flew in from California and BOY are my arms tired. Is that still a thing? Seriously though, I’m but five hours off the plane and I can already admit to suffering from some serious jetlag. Except, it’s the kind of jetlag that hits you before you swap time zones. Before you boarded the plane. Alrite alrite, before you even checked for the third time that, yes, you packed your charger and yes, the garage door is closed – and wait, should I bring a scarf for the plane? you know how cold I get … Read More
Chile-Lime Watermelon Paletas (vegan + paleoish/gf)
A couple weekends ago, Chris and I were holed up in a Truckee hotel for a night during one of his mountain bike races. He was in the bathroom tending to one of his “it’s cool, I think a butterfly bandage should hold it together” injuries (ew) while I distracted myself with Food Network in the bedroom. Because that’s what married people do in swanky euro-mod hotel rooms. First aid and cable. Anyway. Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives was on, of course (is it not always?), and exclamations like BANGARANG and BOOYAH and TAKE ME TO FLAVORTOWN were shooting out of … Read More
