Have you noticed it seems I’ve taken a little vacay from the kitchy kitch (eeek, sorry) lately? I have, I know, and it’s got me a little down. These past couple of weeks, our dinners have revolved around things like enormous salads, frozen ravioli and scrambled eggs. All delicious, of course, but hardly interesting fodder for a food blog. Which… Which! Makes me positively giddy to announce that today I’m stepping back into the kitchen to test a whole buncha new recipes to share in the weeks to come. There’ll be more sweet potato goodness (as if this and this … 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
Cinco de Mayo Roundup: Cray for ¡Olé!
Hola. (Also — Holla!) Ima keep this short. Reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal shoooooort. (Apparently not that short since I’m playing it pretty fast and loose with the emphasized vowel sounds.) Tomorrow is Cinco. I’m at the lake. Margs are calling. (Yes, I know it’s 8am…) I’d attempt to share one with you in the form of a recipe, but I might be the world’s worse bartender. So instead, hows about we do another quickie recipe roundup — Mexican edition — to make sure you have a full cushion before unwisely donning that boozy sombrero? Sweet. Lessdoeet. Have a festive and safe Cinco, everyone! xoxo, Gossip … Read More
Montell Jordan, baby face-stuffing and pre-weekend ramblings
Hey guys! It’s Friday! And you know what that means? “Thiiiiiiiiiis is how we dooooo iiiiiit…” Ok, that is how we’d do it if it were Friday night, and it’s Friday day — but you know what? Ain’t no thing. The little Montell Jordan radio station inside my head knows no time zone, people. In fact, I’ll confess right here and now that just about any time I hear the word Friday — no matter if it’s a Tuesday evening or a Sunday morning (easy like) — I’m pretty much having a This Is How We Do It dance party … Read More
