I love my chiropractor. She’s totally like a big sister to me, and being an only, I’ve always wanted a big sister. Lauren is one of the most supportive people I know – she’s always willing to listen and help steer or give advice. In fact, she’s one of my biggest cheerleaders and gave me…

Food Porn: Breads of India
A few weeks ago, my “museum wifey” and I got together for our usual “date night” of Dollar Tree and dinner. Mer and I bonded in grad school over a love of the Dollar Tree, food, and museums. Plus we took as many classes together as possible. Hence why she is my museum wifey or…
Lost Thanksgiving Recipe Round-Up
There were a few recipes missing from my Thanksgiving post so I’m going to put them all in one place: here. I know Thanksgiving is pretty much a distant memory as we move closer to Christmas. It was only a little more than a week ago, guys. Seriously. A week. WTF? Anyway, back to the…
Buffalo Chicken Bites and Gluten Free Mac and Cheese
HOLY SWEET BABY JEBUS. Mac and cheese was my ultimate comfort nom when I was kid. I would make the blue box stuff almost every Saturday morning for myself at first thing and have it for breakfast while I watched Saturday Morning Cartoons. And I don’t mean the sissy cartoons they show now (do Saturday…
Pho-tastic Voyage
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…
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…
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…
