Do you guys do the Taco Tuesday thing around your digs? We never really intend to, but for the last couple of weeks it’s just kinda worked out. It’s like some otherworldy being (I’d like to think it’s Alf) just really wants us to be stuffing our faces with stuffed foods. A taco is a stuffed food, right? I wonder if I say stuffed foods enough times how it’ll affect my Google rankings. I’d like nothing more than for some poor schmuck searching for Hot Pockets to get tricked into finding these balls-good tacos instead because of — whoops — stuffed foods. Side … Read More
Garlicky Curried Noodle Soup (gf w/ vegan option)
When I posted this guy on Instagram the other day, I had the forethought to actually add a squidge of sriracha to the egg. And it looked bangarang, you guys. Bang. Uh. Rang. And then I sat down to edit the pics for this post and realized that, amidst all the excitement of pulling out the big ol’ Nikon and strapping it to the tripod and F-stopping like whoa, I never actually took a real-deal pic of the sauce’d egg. What the eff. I blame #yolkporn. Gets me every time. So this soup: sriracha drizzle or not, it’s kinda fine, … Read More
Creamy Potato, Leek & Gorgonzola Soup (gluten-free)
Soups on! Does anyone say that anymore? Did anyone say that ever? Is there anything more comforting than a bowl of soup? When you’re sick, when you’re chilled, when you’re feeling too lazy for real cooking but somewhere inside your domestic diva urges you to persist? That damn diva. She sure can be a pesky mofo. Will the questions ever stop? Nah, and unfortumunnately they likely won’t become more interesting. It’s the nature of blogging. Eventually, you run out of things to say. Sors. SOUP! Amazingly, this simple, creamy wonder doesn’t employ a smidge of cream — and when it … Read More
25-Minute Skillet Chicken w/ Carrots & Leeks (gf)
25-Min Skillet Chicken with Carrots and Leeks – a satisfying skillet chicken dinner that boasts all-day flavors but comes together quickly. Perfect for a weeknight meal. I love leeks. They’re kind of a pain in the ass to wash, yeah, but so what. The leeks will thank you for it, and I really believe that. (Can you imagine what it must feel like going through life with silty grit chillin’ under your skin? Like that moment when you first walk onto the beach and realize one step too late that you should have taken your shoes off from the start. You’re … Read More
Steam-Grilled Baby Bok Choy with Sesame Soy Vinaigrette (vegan & gf)
I have a ritual when Chris goes out of town. It’s called Eating a Lot of Asian Veggies. Do I need to explain? Chris is probably the world’s best sport when it comes to eating veggies. Despite his “particular” eating habits that we’ve discussed before, he rarely turns his nose up at a vegetable. Unless it’s a tomato. Or a mushroom. Or an avocado. You know. All the vegetables that, if I were a vegetarian, would make life worth living. Fortunately, I’m not a vegetarian, so I make do. There are a buttload of other veggies that make for seriously … Read More
