Masala Roasted Sunchokes with Feta, Mint & Lemon (gluten-free)

UPDATE: This contest is now closed. Thanks to all who entered!  Have you entered our Luv Yo Momma giveaway yet? No? So I guess you don’t wanna win a Breakfast in Bed set from Q Squared, then. Ok. Up to you. (Check it out!) Confession number one. I just ate a pop tart. Well, ok, some non-GMO, organic approximation of a pop-tart, but it hit all the same pop-tarty notes. Scalding hot, jammy inside. Crackling sugary crust. It was all sorts of delicious. I want another. Maybe in time I’ll DIY some for the bliggy. Confession number two. I’m about half … Read More

Creamy Baked Eggs with Chimichurri (Christmas Eggs! w/ gf option)

This week has been a whirlwind. I’d point out my lack of posting, but perhaps you’ve already noticed? We learned a few days ago that Chris will be starting a new job in two weeks (he’s such a smartie!), we’re toying with the idea of moving (locally, but is moving ever easy?) — and after months of anticipation research, we finally sealed the deal on some new wheels for this little lady. Which begs the question: where was this heated steering wheel thing when I was driving to work in Level 3 snow emergencies a few years ago? Or 4WD, … Read More

Snap Pea, Parmesan & Bacon Salad with Dijon Dressing

Evening friends. Quick post tonight as I want to save a few things for a bonus post I’ll be putting up later in the weekend. A little sunt’n sunt’n about a certain blog turning one. We might even light a candle, but let’s not get ahead of things. This week has been, in a word, flaughghg. I’ve been operating in a bit of a fog, attempting to nurse myself back to health with a winning mixture of green juice, Emergen-C and DayQuil, but only after a trip to the doc and a five-day stint of antibiotics am I finally starting … Read More

Mini Pineapple Corn Cakes with Lemon Glaze

Happy weekend, lovelies! What a week it has been. Productive, to say the least. And mehbeh a tad stressful. But a productive week usually makes for a content Emily, and around here, that’s far superior to the alternative. The alternative, of course, being the Emily that’s full of passive aggressive complaints and grandiose insinuations and overly general generalizations that usually revolve around such dramatic statements as, “I’m not sure why I should have expected anything different…” Boy, that gets ugly. Full disclosure, a scant bit, just a wee dribble, of that latter Emily might have made an appearance this week. … Read More

Smoky Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Lemon & Parm

I gotta tell ya, I was really feeling like starting this post off with an overused acronym like OMG or TGIF and then stopped myself. Because ICBMO (I can be more original), right? But really, that’s how I’m feeling — short on words and big on bursts of emotion because oh my goodness it IS Friday and I AM thanking God. I’m so ready to snap on my skis and hit up some mediocre pow this weekend that it’s not even funny. Gnar to the extreme. Rip, shred, dude-bro, it’s gonna be epic. Wow, can you imagine if I spoke … Read More
