Meat Month: The meats are done, man
Whole30 is nearing its end and I’m excited. It’s been a long month, where we’ve questioned our sanity numerous times (well, mostly Chris questioned my sanity, but whatever, he went along with all this madness) and I will be happy … Continue reading
Baked lemon-caper fish on greens
I made up this dish the other night because I didn’t feel like dirtying a bunch of pans (story of my life) and was surprised at how good it turned out. I think you could make this with any type … Continue reading
Meat Month: I don’t know what a Jedi is, but I know this is some Jedi mind-trickery
We’re coming up on our final week of Whole30 and things are looking up. I haven’t woken up feeling sluggish since day 16 (that arrived right on schedule, they tell me) and other than my quinoa-based stress dreams, I’m doing … Continue reading

Hummus and cheeses and all the things I cannot have
Maybe homemade hummuses (hummusi?) have been done to death, I do not know, but I feel like I always see Twitter asking for homemade hummus recipes, so I thought I’d share mine. Please note, I don’t use tahini. I tried … Continue reading
A sommelier-like review of Ramona’s Pinot Grigio
I mentioned that I finally tried the Ramona Pinot Grigio, thanks to Holly, who bought me a bottle to try. (I swear I don’t pick my friends based on whether or not they too watch the Real Housewives!) I drank … Continue reading
Marathon cooking is just as exhausting as marathon running. No, really. It is.
I woke up Sunday a bit under the weather (read between the lines here) and decided the best thing to do was get up off the couch and cook. And cook I did, deciding to make a new item halfway … Continue reading
