Pho. Is. The. Best. Ever. The only thing is I always feel too full of sodium afterward because I do my best to not leave a drop of that delicious broth behind. So in my quest to be healthier about things and knowing exactly what’s in my food, I decided to try to make my…

Thanksgiving Extravaganza!!
Thanksgiving is pretty much my favorite holiday. I mean, Thanksgiving is basically Christmas without all the gift giving crap. Don’t get me wrong, gifts are cool and all, but I totally stress out about who to get presents for and being fair and all kinds of crap. So… just… no. Let’s eat. I’m all about…
Roasted Carrots and Swiss Chard
These two recipes will conclude the first series of Movie Night Noms. I like to break up the recipes so they’re not all in one post, but I’m curious if other people like this format. Comment if you have an opinion about it – otherwise I’ll assume this is fine. Roasted carrots are stupid easy…
Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
Who doesn’t love mashed taters and gravy? They go with everything, especially giant loaves of meat. They’re really very simple, but everyone always has their own version of mashed potatoes that they swear by. This is a pretty basic recipe, but just like the meatloaf, it can be augmented to be any other form of…
Spaghetti Squash with Ground Turkey
I used to loooooooooove eating pasta. I could eat noodles all day e’ryday. I’d have Top Ramen for breakfast, buttered noodles for lunch, and spaghetti for dinner. That’s kind of how I ended up with the figure I used to have. Now I find way to sneak in more veggies in place of noodles and…
Poached Eggs
I feel like poached eggs don’t get enough play. They kind of get lumped into “diet eggs” but I think a perfectly poached egg is something that is pretty freaking majestic. If I still ate toast, these would be amazing on some sourdough. Poached Eggs Eggs White Vinegar Crack the egg into a small bowl…
Cheaterquiles
Chilaquiles are basically breakfast nachos. For serious. And I’m always surprised when people don’t know what I’m talking about when I talk about chilaquiles. I mean, they’re amazing. SO GOOD. Especially after you’ve made nachos the night before and have a lot of good things leftover. However, I just kind of fake chilaquiles at home….
Nachos
I don’t feel like I really need to post a recipe for nachos. I mean, they’re pretty easy, right? Dere you go. UPDATE: Apparently I *do* need to post a recipe for nachos and BAM! there it is. Nachos 1 pkg Ground Turkey 1 onion Salt, pepper, cayenne 1 can sliced olives Guacamole (recipe here)…
Roasted Chicken Dinner 3: Roasted Fennel and Green Beans
K, so I’m wrapping these last two bits into the same post between they’re relatively simple. One more time, here’s that pic again since I’m lame and forgot to take individual shots. (Maybe I’ll add in some pics after the next time I make these. I have them in regular rotation at the moment). Fennel…
Roasted Chicken Dinner 2: Sweet Potato Hash
OMG. Guys. Sweet Potato Hash is THE NOMS. Use this for Thanksgiving and thank me later. Who needs candied sweet potatoes? *PICS UPDATED* Sweet Potato Hash 4 Sweet Potatoes 1 pkg (12 oz) Applewood Smoked Uncured Bacon 1 medium yellow onion Fresh Thyme salt, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon Chop your onion and slice your bacon….
Roasted Chicken Dinner 1: Roasted Chicken
Sometimes I just like a good old homestyle dinner. I felt like cooking for my friend Archaellys and he thought this was pretty fancy. I just call it Monday night. I’ll post these as separate recipes, but unfortunately I forgot to take separate photos for each dish. Dinner consisted of a roasted hen, sweet potato…
