So I’m back from squeezing the best friend’s baby, and all I have to say is holy cow babies. As in holy cow babies are so cute. Holy cow babies eat ALL the time. Holy cow babies look like little people versions of glow bugs. And holy cow babies are a BUTTLOAD (with capital everything) of work. I had no idea. I mean, and I’m the kind person that even thought I had some idea, but I totally did not. I was so very wrong. I am so very tired. Just, holy cow babies. (I kinda loved it. Shhhhhhhhhh.) Anyway, … 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
Sweet Potato & Green Bean Salad with Maple-Mustard Dressing
{Reminder: our Saucy Mama Giveaway is open until June 29th! Win three mustards, or just take advantage of the P&Q coupon code. Have you entered yet?} In the past 96 hours, I’ve eaten pizza. I’ve eaten pastrami. I’ve eaten burgers and fries and snappy-skinned hot dogs that, while delicious, no amount of papaya juice can make go down easily.

I’ve had cookies and ice cream and caramels and, ohhhhh the coffee drinks. … Read More
Minted Pineapple Salad and Photo Fun Time
Last weekend, I swindled Cristin of the faboo Cristin More Photography into driving into the suburban abyss that is the Peninsula in exchange for brunch. I was prepared for some serious arm-twisting, but she came around surprisingly easily. I’d like to think she was really digging the company, but I’m thinking the promise of bacon had something to do with it… While she was here, we killed two birds (sadface) with one stone and knocked out a few fun shots in the kitchen before tucking into a meal of the fruity salad you see here, a spring pea and bacon … Read More
Coconut-Pecan Brussie Salad with Fried Onions & Fruity Balsamic
(Update: Well, it’s true that I’m currently flying, but now I’m en route back to CA. Posting this a couple days late because I wanted to be sure you guys got a glimpse at Joel’s Oscar popcorn post in time for the big night! Happy Oscars!) Pigs are flying! And not just because you never thought that you’d see the words coconut, pecan and brussie in the same sentence. I mean, maybe you were hoping you’d never see the word brussie again after I posted two BR recipes almost back-to-back a few weeks ago…but that matters none. What matters is that … Read More
