I’ve been way into soup lately, especially with noodles. (By the way, I think you should enter that as a sexy response on your next singles’ website chat: “So, like, what are you into?” “Soup.”) And I happened to read somewhere that you can use a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter in place of [...]

About six months ago, I found out my cholesterol was slightly high. That was the wake-up call that I needed to lose the last fifteen pounds of pregnancy weight. Coming off Thanksgiving weekend (okay, week if I’m being honest), I’m back to eating big salads and righting myself again. But the week sure was fun [...]

I! Have Made! Pasta! (Spinach Gnudi)

I’ve already admitted to the whole universe, here on this blog, that I’m not the greatest Italian in the world because I don’t ALWAYS make my own sauce (that’s because that world that I live in? It’s the REAL one. Join me, there are babies here… Messy, but worth it!) Anyway, now I’ll tell you [...]

Did I say I was doing these burger posts beginning July 4th? My, how time flies! Well, it might take me until next summer, but I’ll get the rest of these alternative burgers up. I’M BUSY. In fact, the dedicated reader will spot the backdrop in this next picture: the kitchen I moved out of [...]

Spinach and Feta Scrambled Eggs

It’s been a rough week. The baby has had the flu, and now she looks to be getting a cold. On top of everything else, we had to call a service repairman about our garbage disposal (something about someone shoving too many sweet potato peels down at once… Just wait until I get my hands [...]

Now that I’ve posted about baking something from scratch (even if I didn’t do the cooking), I have to post about something simple to make, or I may end up with a rash. And, eyw, no one wants that.
When I was a freshman in college (age 19, I think), my friend Brooke would also be [...]

Trader Joe's Green Soup

This is a simple soup I like to make from my booty from Trader Joe’s. TJ’s used to offer a frozen mixed greens bag, containing spinach, broccoli, green beans, and edamame. At our location, however, the mix disappeared around the time of the Great Spinach Scare, and hasn’t reappeared since. Now I have to buy [...]

I’m even more eager than before to sell our condo and get into a home, since our last trip to my in-laws home. As if the smallish kitchen wasn’t motive enough, my “MIL,” Wilma, had a bountiful crop of fresh herbs growin’ like crazy in her backyard. She grows a lot of them in pots, [...]

Chicken Roll-Ups

I based these on something I saw Giada De Laurentiis do on Food TV. Of course I didn?t bother to check her recipe. And I gave it a name that I’m sure is much more white-trash than whatever she gave it (probably Florentine something-or-other). But here’s how I do it, and they come out great!
