Your bikini is calling you. Do you hear it? It’s screaming at you from the deep, dark corner of that drawer you haven’t opened in months. It wants out. It’s seen those beautiful bright rays of sunshine creeping into your bedroom windows lately, and it knows… it knows that you’re going to have to get […]
She’s all that AND a great muffin maker.
Get In My Belly!, Morning Munchies
Guess what? I made you muffins. Oh, and not just any muffins, my friends. I made you muffins a la Kathryn Choy. In case you’ve been living under a rock, you might not know my extraordinarily beautiful and lovely friend, Kathryn Choy. This girl’s all that and a batch of freshly baked muffins. She’s kinda […]
Sharing my Momma’s recipes…
Get In My Belly!, Screw the entree.
Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that make me the happiest. This simple macaroni salad is one of my Momma’s signature dishes. Whenever I make it, I think about her. It’s her go-to, family BBQ, summertime side dish and I love, love, love it. Over the years I’ve shared it with other loved ones, including one […]
Socially acceptable breakfast cookies… Brilliant.
Get In My Belly!, I am THE Cookie Monster, Morning Munchies
I’m not much of a breakfast person. In fact, usually, the hour between when I wake up and rush out of the house, is the only hour that I don’t want to inhale every ounce of food around me. However, on the occasion that I do want food in the morning, I rarely crave what […]
Breaking News: Quinoa is even more needy than I am!
Din Din, Get In My Belly!
Guess what? I made you something that will not induce a heart attack! This recipe includes plenty of healthy ingredients including the super-hippie, and very trendy grain, quinoa. This was my first attempt at quinoa. Here’s what I took away from this experience: 1. Quinoa is very needy. a) I have to rinse it? b) […]
My favorite foods are getting married and you’re invited!
Get In My Belly!, It’s ALWAYS Happy Hour!
A wise friend once said to me that chocolate and peanut butter were the best combination ever, and that she firmly believed the two should get married and make little choco-PB babies. Well said, Kathryn, well said. While I agree with my astute and beautiful friend, I’m going to argue that there is a better combo out […]
Showin’ some love to my Paleo peeps
Din Din, Get In My Belly!, Quest for Skinny
If you aren’t “paleo,” and if you don’t belong to a Crossfit gym… you know you’re curious. Crossfit, paleo… it’s EVERYWHERE, right? What’s up with these people that eat like cavemen, pay 1 billion dollars per month on their gym memberships, and have super human strength? Dude. Your muscles have muscles. I’ve tried crossfit- and […]
If eternal happiness could be found in a skillet…
Din Din, Get In My Belly!, Screw the entree.
If eternal happiness could be found in a skillet, it would most definitely taste like this. Stop everything and make this. I’m being serious. It’s mood altering, magical, life changing, drool on your keyboard, perfect. Seriously though, I’ve never done better, if I do say so myself. It’s the end of your new years diet, […]
Carbs, pork… are other words necessary?
Din Din, Get In My Belly!
So the last two posts have been relatively healthy and completely vegetarian. Given that fact, I feel it’s my duty as your friend, and favorite blogger (yea, I went ahead and made that assumption), to make you something with pork and carbs. You’re welcome. There’s something to be said for a warm, red, meat sauce; […]
Hummus a la the Bestie
Get In My Belly!, It’s ALWAYS Happy Hour!
When it comes down to it, my bestie is really far more impressive in the kitchen than I am. One of the reasons I’m always so impressed with her is that she keeps things simple, while still maintaining their fabulousness. I, on the other hand, am always going WAY over board and am guaranteed to […]
