Happy New Year! Let's celebrate by continuing to eat all the leftover cookies and candy. Finish those bottles of wine. No problem, right? And yes, you WILL have a second helping of potatoes and pasta thank you very much. But then, on January 2 (or 3rd if you're a procrastinator like me) let's go sugar-free! Do you see how happy this woman is with her dry, boring salad? This represents my ... [ Read More ]
Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream Pops with Whipped Cream & Gingersnap Swirl
I apologize to all of you who are freezing your behinds off while raking leaves or shoveling snow, but these Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream Pops are going to warm your souls. They're magic.

Here in Phoenix, it's still ... [ Read More ]
Perfect Fried Plantains
While the rest of the country is instagramming their pumpkin spice fetishes and clamoring about exhausting political news (#helpus), I thought I'd do something a little different. Different = yum These fried plantains are good enough to eat on their own, but they go well with a variety of dishes. Have you ever had them? Just nod if you can't answer because you've got a straw currently ... [ Read More ]
Pico de Gallo Recipe (Salsa Fresca)
My marriage is falling apart. I made this Pico de Gallo in hopes to rebuild. We can rebuild! This is our biggest argument: I pronounce the word salsa with the first syllable rhyming with the word "all". Salllsa. But without the extra Ls. I'm just trying to make a point. Like Better Call SAULsa. You get it. You totally agree with me, right? The Hungry Husband pronounces it like the name "Sal". ... [ Read More ]
Happenings in the Heat – The Phoenix Adventures
Whoa. It's been 2 months since I said heyo hiyo whasssup. Life has gotten out. of. control. Are using extra periods like that so 2008? So what's happened? We moved to Phoenix. It rained the entire 4-day car ride. One cat cried the whole way here. The other cat was high. We almost made friends with the drug cartel in Tucumcari, NM (totally unrelated to the cat). I got heat stroke. Our ... [ Read More ]
Old Pumpkin Rice With Expired Black Beans and Never Used Schezwan Sauce
It's pretty darn official. The votes have been tabulated. The ballots have been recounted 37 times (we think there was some voter fraud). But the where-to-move indecision madness has come to an end. We're moving to Phoenix! Unless Bono calls us on our red land line, while wearing his super sweet sunglasses and says "Hey, I've got the perfect high paying gig for you in NYC but it would require ... [ Read More ]
We’re moving. I think. Wait, yeah, I think.
Do you hate that I'm not posting a recipe and going to blab about my life again? Just tell me. But I have to tell you the info, right? The 411. So the big news is, we're moving. Maybe out of state. It depends on what minute you ask me. I say maybe because so much is up in the air and it's insane that a huge life decision is so unknown and unplanned. Anything can happen at this ... [ Read More ]

I am not too old for this. I am not too old for this.
Last month, I promised you a story about my upcoming dancing in the street. Well, I'm back from that adventure. There was pain. Ow. There were also tears. But mostly, there was love. Be ready to be bombarded with pictures of some generous, lovely women dancing their hearts out and a few vintage pics sprinkled in just to make you jealous of our hair. In mid April, I hopped on plane and headed back ... [ Read More ]
Lomo Saltado – Peruvian Beef Stir Fry
I'm really excited for this one, guys! Have you ever had Lomo Saltado? You're going to love it. But let's keep it 100. You're not going to make this on a weeknight after working 8 hours.

It's not that hard to make. ... [ Read More ]
