Apple Lemon Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

Help me. My child has started multiplication and I do NOT know how to help her. I need to clarify, of course, that I know how to multiply I just don’t know how to explain the process. I suppose it’s due to my being out of elementary school for so long that mathematical basics are […]

Glazed Orange Rosemary Chicken Breast

Happy Monday, Y’all! Although earlier was not very happy. I had to stay home sick today from work. I’ll spare you the details. Luckily, there is a Minute Clinic inside the pharmacy down the road from my house. I put on the cutest black and white flowered wrap-around dress that I’d gotten from Old Navy. […]

Indian-inspired Potato Bean Saute

Let me kick off this post by saying that I am by no means an expert in Indian Cuisine. Yes, I am aware that Garbanzo (Chickpea) Beans or lentils would have been more authentic. However, I was making this lunch completely on-the-fly. STARVING, impatient, and without my glasses, what I thought was a can of […]

Texan Quinoa with Grapefruit Cumin Vinaigrette

Today’s been pretty productive. In my terms, I mean. Usually I’m just happy if I manage to put mascara on. The things I did today were the following: 1. Pick up produce co-op share from Urban Acres from outside the pickup location in front of the Crossfit studio. Make goo-goo eyes at the hot Crossfit guys. […]

Chili con cornbread

There’s something about chili that just screams comfort food. And versatility, too. You can eat it a zillion different ways: on baked potatoes, French fries, tater tots, hamburgers, hot dogs, crushed Fritos corn chips, or just straight up. There are also a zillion different ways to top it: cheddar cheese, crema fresca, sour cream, white […]

Creamy Avocado Cilantro Pasta

After last night’s carnivorous dinner of Steak and Cheese Panini, I decided tonight was MY night. After all, I did end up eating Apple Jacks for dinner since I don’t eat that much in the way of meat. I can’t really say that I’m vegetarian or vegan. I generally avoid any kind of label. I […]

“Don’t Follow Me, I’m Lost” Steak and Cheese Panini

Fellow veggie friends, I am sorry. See, I’m married to a carnivore and have spawned one carnivorous daughter. And they loooooooooove their steaks. I don’t pass judgment on dietary/lifestyle preferences, which is why when I’m out and about Dallas and find a really good cut of meat I usually get some for the family. Earlier […]

Belgian Waffles with Balsamic Blueberry Velvet Syrup

Belgian Waffles, meet Blueberry. Blueberry, meet Blueberry Balsamic Vinegar. Yup. Blueberry Balsamic Vinegar for breakfast. Okay, well maybe not FOR breakfast, but certainly IN it. As we edge closer and closer to spring, I’ve noticed a distinct change in my food cravings. I’ve finally kicked my butternut squash craving, kicked my Brussels Sprout yearnings to […]

Sesame Panko Crusted Salmon on Braised Asian Veggies

This morning I found myself in awe. See, I have recently undertaken an attempt at starting a veggie patch. And when I say veggie patch, I really mean I have three green things that I am attempting to grow sitting on my window sill: basil, spinach, and green onions. I once saw on Pinterest that […]

Spicy Noodles with Greens and Shallot

Upon waking up yesterday morning, I had decided to give up carbs and coffee in an attempt to quickly shed some pounds for my sister’s upcoming wedding. Aside from the fact that I have a biscuit hanging out of my mouth as I type this post, one can easily see from the picture above that […]
