In February Josh and I traveled to Thailand. I have to admit; I was a little hesitant when Josh suggested the trip. It was something about the unknown of Southeast Asia that deterred me initially. However, I am so thankful that I didn’t let that prevent us from going. Not only is Thailand beautiful and…
A beloved cousin reached out on one of my Facebook pictures of what I was cooking this week asking for the recipe, so though this is a little bit of a repeat blog post in terms of the method, I’m going to do it anyway for her! This week I made a shrimp stir-fry. Now,…
Today I’m sharing a quick lunch that I had last week. The reason I’m sharing is not this particular recipe, but more the method behind it. It’s a great way to make a flavorful lunch or breakfast that gets in fat, protein, and vegetable components. It will fuel you for several hours of your day…
Everyone has experienced that moment talking to someone about an idea they executed and thought, “Why didn’t I think of that?” That moment came to me talking to Bev Armstrong, founder and brewer of Brazo Fuerte Artisanal Beer. What is this genius idea? It’s her beer! Well, it’s more than that. It’s the idea behind…
A few years ago, I had a conversation with a friend wherein slimy okra was the subject matter. Have you ever sautéed okra? Nine times out of ten it gets all Slimer circa Ghostbusters and while the taste isn’t affected, it’s a little tough to get down. This is one of the main reasons I…
A little over a year ago I bought the Nom Nom Paleo cookbook on recommendation from my friend Guido. Who subsequently made me a delicious lunch from the recipes in it. That meal had a really delicious kale recipe from Nom Nom that I could eat everyday. Bacon, kale, lemon….enough said. Here’s the one hang…
For the last two weeks fish is on the menu more than ever before and I decided to make sure I have at least two fish dinners every week. I’m doing it mostly because its guilt free and I need to get rid of my Thailand Food Bonanza gut, but also because we get terrific fresh local…
I’m as jet lagged as I’ve ever been and while I absolutely want to give you a rundown on my food bonanza of a vacation to Thailand, that, unfortunately, will have to be another week. Today I’m going to give you an amazing sweet potato recipe that I made a few weeks ago. I thought up…
When your plan is to make cauliflower rice and you fail…you get my recipe for this week. So here it is. I loathe cutting up cauliflower and broccoli. It’s always such a mess. To then turn cauliflower into “rice”, which requires a food processor, which ends up being a huge mess, is really a nightmare…
It is winter and my guess is you’re sick of pumpkin. Autumn is pumpkin pie, pumpkin beer, pumpkin latte, pumpkin bread, pumpkin ravioli….it’s the Bubba Gump Shrimp of New England. Truth is, I have a hard time even getting on board at all despite my true love for pumpkin everything. I’ve never been a conformist…what…
