I was asked the other night if I had been cooking anything “good” lately. I was hard pressed to think of anything, but I think that was due to the tequila. We’ve (J and I) been eating well, although I haven’t exactly been “cooking” much. For instance, I finally tried my hand at making pickles. [...]

Meet ze (green) monster
I finally got up early enough this morning to make myself a Green Monster. I’ve been seeing variations of this smoothie all over the place and finally gave it a spin. I don’t know if I believe all the hype as far as being a healing panacea but it was delicious, healthful and I suppose [...]

How I learned to stop worrying and love pesto

Recipe: Confetti Black Bean Soup
This recipe comes together quickly if you have all your ingredients prepared. Sometimes, when I’m feeling particularly industrious, when I get home from the grocery store on Sunday I’ll take the time to prep all the things for the week’s meals I have planned. This greatly increases the odds I’ll actually cook everything I planned [...]
