i know i’ve mentioned my chicken rut, where i do the same 6 things with a chicken breast over and over again until even the chicken is bored with me. i kind of have the same issue with fish, except there are only like 2 ways i do it. over and over. and over. one […]
Morey’all, it was gorgeous in Atlanta today — gorgeous! all clear skies and cool air. at least for the moment, it feels like fall has arrived. it got me in the mood for some soft, creamy comfort food. (also, it was finally cool enough to run for the first time in months, so i felt […]
Morewow. i think this might be the first actual meal i’ve cooked in something like 2 weeks! pasta and doctoring a pizza do not count. i totally loved the break, but getting back into a regular routine has been tough this week with Miss Girl being sick Monday and Tuesday (i totally blame her nose […]
Moreit’s that time again! on the first of every month, i’m doing (and writing about) something that’s a first for me. this month, in honor of the old saying about March weather, In like a lion, out like a lamb (and vice versa), i decided to cook some lamb, which (kind of surprisingly) i’ve never […]
Morefirst, i know. i know. i feel like every other post these days is about food. but the fact is, eating is like one of the only things i do every single day without fail, so there is a lot of material. that’s my excuse and i’m stickin’ to it. this evening is the first […]
Moregod, things are getting completely exotic around here, right? i call this “random Asian” because it mixes some Indian, Thai and Chinese influences, incorporating curry, Siracha and, um, stir-fry. and chopsticks. definitely chopsticks. also, i just needed a title that sounded more appropriate than “random shit i put in the wok tonight”. also, i actually […]
Moretoday is my very favorite day all year. well, right now, at least. it’s the shortest day of the year. and i am miserably tired of waking up in the dark, taking Miss Girl to school in practically the dark (it’s not light here until about 7:30) and getting home in the dark. as of […]
Morefeels like it’s been a while since i’ve done one of these posts. with Spy out of town most every Sunday in October, i think most Sunday suppers for a while there consisted of cheese, crackers and wine. not much worth reporting there. it’s gotten so damn cold here all of a sudden that all […]
Moregod, it’s weird to watch football at 9:30 in the morning. but with the Falcons in London (along with Spy — and our Falcons flag!) you gotta do what you gotta do, y’all! given that this is the only meal that will likely get cooked in this house today, i figured i’d go ahead and […]
Morei thought it would be fun to kick off the season with a game themed late lunch. i know what i said yesterday about diving off the edge of my cleanse into a vat of pub grub, but pizza and wings just seemed appropriate for the occasion, so that’s what was on the menu for […]
Morei know. i’ve totally been slackin’ on these posts — and on actually doing anything interesting or different for Sunday supper, for that matter. so, inspired by the August Real Simple, which i just finally got a chance to thumb through this weekend (downtime, wut?), i put on my big girl pants and actually followed […]
Morei know i’ve taken a couple weeks off from posting these. and wouldn’t you know, the one time, like ever, that i make actual recipes (yes, from the internets, from scratch) i am too caught up in the whole moment to actually take any pictures. also, i have one heck of a cold all of […]
Morei’ve been trying really hard to keep my daily calories balanced with 40% carbs, 30% fat and 30% protein. unofficially Zone-ish, i guess. anyway, was super low on protein today leading into dinner, so i figured some nice chunks of red meat were my best bet to get right! sirloin kebabs marinated in oil, soy […]
Morethe Polish/German version of this dish mixes a good helping of my husband is traveling again with equal parts of there are a thousand leftovers in the fridge and i’m going to enjoy being lazy. throw in a dash of 9 more pounds to go, so who really needs a whole meal for dinner every […]
Moreever feel like if you eat another piece of chicken, you will die? i mean actually die? yeah, me too. so, perusing the meat counter for something, anything to buy for dinner tonight that wasn’t the same old thing we’ve had 100 times this month, the other white meat seemed like a good change of […]
Morethe travel schedule around here has been insane lately. this time, Spy is off to Richmond this evening for an overnighter to check on family. in the scheme of things, it could be tons worse, but as much as he’s been gone for work the past couple months, it feels like we’re merely ships passing […]
Moreit has been an insane few weeks. with the husband half a world away and me holding down the fort as a working single mommy and planning a certain someone’s 4th birthday party all on my own, cooking real food has been one of the absolute last things on my list. chicken nuggets for dinner again? sure. […]
