Spicy Coconut Lime Popsicles
^^^Look you guys!^^^ I finally got a popsicle mold! It’s very exciting stuff, not to mention the best $20 I ever spent. I’ve already made 4 batches of popsicles, and it just showed up on my doorstep a week or so ago. I can’t stop! In fact I currently have a pop in one hand […]
Shaved Fennel and Melon Salad
If you live in most parts of the Northern Hemisphere, this is probably just what you need right now. A light and refreshing salad with fresh herbs and a jalapeño kick! Right?? Unless, like me, you live in San Francisco… In which case we can totally enjoy all the benefits of this salad next month […]
Celery & Parmesan Salad
I recently mentioned my unshakable love for all things celery, and my love for Ina Garten is no secret. So when I saw her make this salad a few years back on Barefoot Contessa, it should come as no surprise that it was the very next thing I made. It was delicious. And I didn’t […]
Charred Corn Salad
Let’s consider this step one of incorporating real food back into my diet. A week of awesome vacationing/eating in San Diego was directly followed by a week of sickness/sleeping, during which the most solid food I ate was an antibiotic. Yesterday I was able to stand up long enough to leave the house, so I […]
Mango & Jicama Salad
This salad seems entirely appropriate coming off the heels of a serious Breaking Bad addiction in this household. Super serious. Three weeks ago, the hubs innocently suggested we start watching it, probably thinking we’d be able to continue on with life as usual afterward. Oh no. In that time, we blew threw all 4 seasons with […]
Kentucky Mules
It’s Friday night before The Big Game, and I’m willing to bet that if you’re even half as OCD as I am about menu planning, you’ve got your food all figured out. Well here’s something you may have overlooked: a signature cocktail. I’ve brought up how much I love cocktails at parties before, but allow […]
Spicy Guacamole
This is a recipe that really makes me miss San Diego. Guacamole used to be a fairly large part of my diet! Between my regular stops at a variety of Mexican restaurants and drive-thrus, and the near constant availability of quality guacamole ingredients, there was always an excuse to indulge in this flavorful dip. Guacamole […]
Black Bean Hummus
Oh, hello 2012. I almost didn’t see you there. Usually as a new year begins, I find myself struggling to remember what in the world I spent the previous year doing, and how it managed to fly by so quickly. Not this time. In fact, when I looked back at 2011 I was kind of […]
