because food is sexy
When I found out I was pregnant, I said “I’m gonna feed this kid GOOD!”. As soon as my precious little boy turned 5 months, we slowly introduced solids to his diet. He’s breastfed still, but his pediatrician recommended we start with rice and oatmeal cereal, so we did. He…
I had an intense craving for chocolate, so I made a chocolate sheet cake. I didn’t want anything too cloyingly sweet, so no candy. Nothing so sugary it would make my teeth hurt, so again, no candy. I didn’t want to eat the chocolate and just taste “sweet”. Enter this…

If you haven’t had Chicken Tikka Masala, you haven’t lived. I must say this now: this is not authentic, it’s just damn good. I rarely do authentic anything, because I love and kinda must put my OWN spin on just about everything I cook. This stuff here is magic in…
Sleep deprivation really sucks. I’m hungry every day, but I don’t always have the energy nor time to cook something yummy to keep me sustained. Enter “One Pot Meals”. I call them culinary life-savers. The entire concept of throwing everything into one vessel and letting it cook until it’s done…
I love just about any version of a deviled egg, and these are no exception. I make them all kinds of ways…stuffed with crab, shrimp, smoked salmon — you name it, I’ll eat it. I even love to top them with shatteringly crisp chicken skins. OH MAH GAWD so GOOD!…
