Winter Seasonal Recipes
Winter seems to get a lot of people feeling kinda down in the dumps. The shorter days, not enough sunshine, the stress of holidays, the annoyance of wet shoes and jammed up jacket zippers. Not to mention, there’s nary a good tomato or peach in sight for the next six months. But even if we…
Read MoreChipotle-Roasted Artichoke Hearts
I saw something about roasted jarred, marinated artichoke hearts as an appetizer and it gave me the idea to marinate my own damn artichoke hearts and roast them. And then I made quesadillas out of them and then I married the quesadillas and nobody ever saw me again. The End. Just kidding. It’s not over.…
Read MoreBlack Plum Vinaigrette
I had a whole collection of little black plums, neglected and going soft in my fruit bowl until … I turned them into salad dressing. Clearly, plums are not my favorite stone fruit, but in this plum vinaigrette they shine. The flavor reminds me of a raspberry vinaigrette, but less acidic and more fruity. And…
Read MoreVegetarian Sopes
Sweet jebus, this is the best vegetarian recipe I’ve ever come up with in my entire life, I think. Sopes are kind of a thick corn tortilla “boat” filled with all kinds of stuff, but usually there’s some refried beans involved. I used guacamole for these vegetarian sopes but feel free to swap that for…
Read MoreBroccoli with Mint Pesto
There’s a restaurant we go to often: it’s four blocks away, has a good menu and great bartenders. I get a lot of inspiration from their specials menu, actually. (These portobello mushroom tacos, for example.) And a few weeks ago tried something described as “broccoli with mint pesto and pine nut gremolata” which sounds pretty…
Read MoreSalsa Chicken
Oh man, this week’s been a blur-and-a-half! I shared a little about what we’ve been up to lately earlier in the week (meals to make when you’re in a hurry sure saved my ass!) and next week is going to be even crazier. We start filming our pilot on Monday and will be working 12+…
Read MoreSlow Cooker Puerco Verde
Slow cooker puerco verde is a delicious, warm supper for a cold night. If you don’t have a slow cooker, or don’t have 10 hours to kill, I’ve included directions for stovetop puerco verde, as well. “Green pork” is basically a pork roast cooked down in salsa verde. Use my recipe for the salsa or buy…
Read MoreInstant Pot Turkey Chili
About a month ago, Chris and I decided to cut out beef from our diets for no other reason, really, than that our dog’s face reminds us of a Jersey cow and it seems sad to eat something that looks like Mr. Banjo. As a result, we’ve been eating more vegetarian meals and a whole…
Read More5 Meals to Make this Week #14
Week Fourteen! Where’ve I been?! Kinda rhymes. Anyway, I’ve been in Austin. Last week we took an 8-day trip to see my family, our friends, and Chris had a few meetings with his Yoga with Adriene team. So I took last week off of blogging and newslettering. Not a whole lot going on recently anyway.…
