Cinco de Bean-o

All right, all right. So that title probably isn’t my greatest. But since today is cinco de mayo, a holiday celebrated because of a battle victory, today’s dish is full of something you’d need to win any battle: protein! This recipe is vegetarian but can easily be made vegan by substituting the chicken broth for […]

Rapini On The Ready

Rapini–also known as broccoli raab, raap, or rabe–is a green similar to kale or turnip greens that adds beautiful color and texture to dishes. It melds well with the flavors it is combined with and is a great source of vitamins and minerals. You could easily substitute kale, turnip greens, collards, or another hearty green. […]

Stuff A Pepper…But With What?

It’s Spring and that means swimsuit season is coming. As a result I’ve been trying to eat healthier and a lot of times that means trying new grains and sometimes eating Vegetarian. While I may have bacon almost every day, even the most awesome food items need a break every now and again. Normally when […]

Fried Sandwich of Yum

I get excited when stuff I like goes on sale at the grocery store. Like eggplant. I haven’t really done a whole lot with eggplant except fry it. And let’s be clear…frying = awesome. To be more clear, frying in a cast-iron skillet = heavenly. Instead of the traditional parmesan-style of preparation, I make mine […]

Taken From Take Out

Today’s recipe is made just for you inspired by one of you! I got an email from reader Shannan who wanted to know how to make her favorite chinese soup at home. She’s a vegetarian so the recipe below is also herbivore-friendly, but I added pork to mine (as you’ll note in the pictures). She […]

Giving Up Life’s Pleasures…On Purpose!

See that lovely lady above? Her name is Racheletto and she’s a girl on the go. For the entire month of January, she has decided to simplify her life (in a very complicated way) and participate in something called “GULP.” What is GULP, you ask? GULP stands for “Give Up Life’s Pleasures.” Yeah, on purpose. […]

Let’s Get Baked…Zucchini

I try to eat healthy, really I do. And for a girl who loves bacon and could eat it with every meal this can sometimes be tricky. (Note: 2 slices of bacon are only 90 calories so shut it). Often, when I’ve been going out to eat a lot or eating a bunch of fried […]

Old Bread, New Life

Breadcrumbs are super easy to make and have on hand for the next time you need ’em. I tend to make up a batch every time I have a few extra pieces of bread in a loaf that’s getting old or is crusty. Also French Bread loaves make delightful crumbs!
