Do you ever wanna cry out “I want my mommy!” If you admit to that, I won’t tell a soul. You can come huddle with me in the corner and we can both cry into our childhood teddy bears and then pretend to the rest of the world that we’ve got our shyou-know-what together. We …

Fusilli Pasta with Spinach and Asiago Cheese
When I discover a tasty new recipe, all I want to do is share it with everyone. The recipe, that is. The actual meal I just want to eat it all myself. Sure, I’ll save a few bits for my husband. I’m generous like that. I’m feeling so generous right now, as I live and …
Easy Turkey Tacos
It’s time I confess something that’s quite embarrassing for a self-proclaimed foodie and resisting-rehab snobaholic. I’m (sometimes) a big ol’ cheater. Please don’t judge me. It’s just that, once in awhile, I need a break. I can’t be fabulous all the time, ya know? You deserve a break, too. In today’s world, it’s so hard …
Tangerine Beef Stir Fry with Green Beans and Sweet Red Peppers
“Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson Growing up, I was always bored by science. Maybe I was bored because, instead of learning, I spent my time playing the Paper Fortune Teller game. Every time the teacher turned her back, I was whispering about which boys were …

Grown Up Breakfast Sandwich
What did I tell you about eating cereal again for dinner? WHAT DID I TELL YOU? [finger pointing, looks of disapproval, horizontal head shaking] That’s me talking to myself in the mirror after I’ve downed 3 bowls of Lucky Charms because, honestly, I couldn’t stop. No way. Not happening. Secretly, I would just prefer it if …
Tomato Basil Tilapia
When I was growing up, eating fish meant fish sticks and tarter sauce. Yuck. Sure, I liked the fried crunchy part and it sort of hid the fish taste but I didn’t know that I liked fish until I became an adult and learned to appreciate it for another reason: toppings! To this day, I’m …
Artichoke and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Recent road rage? Mad at your boss? You had a few choice words for that snippy grocery clerk but chose to bury them wayyy down deep inside? I hear you. I’ve got a solution. It doesn’t involve anything illegal or resorting to violence. Okay, maybe violence. But controlled violence with the added bonus of a …
Homemade Chicken Nuggets with Tomatoes, Basil, and Orzo Pasta
Chicken nuggets, you say?! Hmph. Snobs don’t desire any dish with the word “nuggets” in the title. I should know. What if the chicken nuggets were referred to as “gourmet” or “totally awesome, dude”? I think you might have a change of heart. The truth is, I used to make this dish without chicken, as …
