This week was not a shining week for me in the kitchen. I had plenty of time being snowed in and I thought that I’d have loads of recipes to share with you. Nope. Here’s the scoop… Zucchini noodles are fun to make but they’re trickier to cook than I thought. If I cook them too much they are slimy and if I don’t cook them enough they are too weirdly al dente to try to pass off as pasta. I took a few pics of the dish anyway and it did not look appetizing… like at all. I’ll keep …
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Energy Bars
There are labels for food and labels for people that eat certain foods. I’m not sure I like labels much. I have been fascinated with vegan food lately, but as I’ve told you before I don’t have any intention of becoming a vegan. Even not being a vegan, I found that I actually felt a little guilty the other day when I had a cheese and egg sandwich. That’s sort of weird. I felt like I was cheating by eating non-vegan food. That got me thinking about all of the various food labels and got me wondering how I would label …
Vegetable Stir Fry
I’m going old school on you. I had this meal for dinner almost every night when I was in law school. It started one random night when I needed to go grocery shopping but I was too lazy to go. (Sound familiar?) So I grabbed whatever I had in the fridge and threw it into a stir fry. It seems just like yesterday that my parents would open my fridge in shock and would wonder if I ate at all. Trust me, I ate. Not only did I find this meal tasty (which is probably obvious since I said I …
Spaghetti Squash Tex Mex Bowls
Have you ever used squash as a bowl? This is the first time that I served a meal in the squash “shell” and I’m obsessed. That means that I have two less dishes to wash so that makes me happy. It’s the little things that get ya happy, right? Like just earlier today I tried avocado toast for the first time. Of course I had to document it on social media because if I didn’t then it might not have ever happened. Why has it taken me so long to try that? I’ve seen it forever and I’ve been totally missing …
Chocolate Pie
Is there anything better than a chocolate pie? Well, maybe, but I don’t imagine much. 😉 This dreamy deal is everything you’d ever want in a chocolate pie. The filling is smooth and chocolaty and the crust is flaky and delicious. Yup, this is one of the most awesome things that I’ve ever made so far. I made this pie twice last month. I wish that I could say it was done on purpose. Twas’ the night before Christmas and I wanted to bring pie to my mother-in-law’s for dessert. I diligently made it the day before so that it …
