And one. Two. Three. Breathe! That’s me pretending to get in shape so I can continue the facade of my New Year’s resolutions. No seriously – I’m doing this 30 day flat abs challenge from Blogilates.com. I’m trying to be realistic about it. Because flat abs? At this point I’d settle for “smaller mound” abs. It’s …

Spicy Ramen Noodles
These Spicy Ramen Noodles have shaken me out of my post holiday coma. It’s the one productive thing I’ve gotten done since we got an Apple TV. You guys, it’s life changing. But don’t go out and get one unless you don’t want to see the light of day ever again. Since the holidays, I’ve …
Crispy Flaky Butterfinger Treats
This is going to be totally off subject but go with me on this one. I’ll get to the point. It could be awkward. Have you ever been cheated on and the cheater says “It was an accident!” Whoa. What does that mean? WHOOPSIE just accidentally fell into a compromising position! Riiight. You still with me? …
Marinated Cucumber Salad
Do you ever pretend you’re something you’re not? Oh puhlease. Yes you do. When you’ve got the house to yourself, you don’t turn the music way up and pretend you’re the star of your own concert, complete with “air” microphone? Because let me tell you, I scream a mean Alanis Morissette when no one’s around. I …

Fall Spiced Cranberry Muffins with Tangerine Glaze
This is my new favorite cranberry muffin recipe! I’ve been fighting this fall-loving feeling for the last few weeks. Unfortunately, the beginning of fall doesn’t only make me think of apple pie and beautiful falling leaves. It also makes me think of things like: the Polar Vortex of 2013 [shudders], raking those beautiful leaves, salt-encrusted cars, …
Easy Greek Quinoa With Roasted Tomatoes
I could talk for days about this Easy Greek Quinoa recipe. I’m lying. Some days, the writing well is dry and for the life of me I can’t come up with fascinating on-the-edge-of-your-seat stories about food except “nom nom nom”. So, I don’t have much to say. Except that some family members might think I’ve gone off …
Yummy Ugly Chicken
Sometimes when you’re a food blogger, you have to pull a few tricks out of your hat. Like when I’m making a side dish for the blog, I focus all my attention on the side dish, and then it occurs to me we have nothing but Green Beans with Caramelized Onions for dinner. Oh, you …
Spicy Chicken Lettuce Wraps
When I first heard of chicken lettuce wraps, I have to admit, I was a teeny bit skeptical. Lettuce wraps were for those “healthy” people. You know the ones. I’m more of a “let’s wrap that in cake” kind of gal. But after a few trips to PF Chang’s, I was hooked. I’ll probably experiment …

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 …
