Baby-led Weaning Begins!

May 25, 2016 by Lindsay Leave a Comment

Omg the baby has started eating food.

Not really for any actual intake, more for exploration and to keep her quiet while we are eating. A lot of the stuff we've read tells us that we'll kind of know when she's ready to start working on food based on her interest, mimicking what we're doing when we eat, that kind of thing. BOY HOWDY DOES SHE EVER DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS. She's super interested in food, gets grabby at the table, all the normal signs.

So we've started stuffing things into her mouth.

Rosemary Walnut Chicken Salad

March 28, 2016 by Lindsay 1 Comment

Great news! I made this 3 times in the last 2 weeks.

No joke, and there are no leftovers. Half of Greenville has tried this ish and I haven't gotten a bad review yet.

So that tells you something, right? It's a chicken salad with no celery but with deeeeelicious flavors of walnuts and fresh rosemary. Not too much mayo. Some onion and garlic powders for flavor. Pan-seared chicken for that brown meat flavor that just can't be replicated. Trust me. You need this ASAP.

Low-Carb Eats

September 8, 2015 by Lindsay Leave a Comment

Well, Tuesday.

We're coming off a long weekend and I have to take that effing Glucose Tolerance Test this afternoon, so maybe we all need to man up and eat some veggies like big kids, amirite?

PS in preparation for this appointment this afternoon, at the suggestion of several, I've been kind of low-carbing it for approximately 4 seconds, WHICH I HATE, and yesterday of course we went to a baseball game with BEER AND DONUTS AND ICE CREAM AND FRIED CHICKEN AND SERIOUSLY WHAT THE HELL.

Not ok. It was pretty rough.

Broiled Okra + Romesco Sauce {vegan}

September 2, 2014 by Lindsay 1 Comment

We're going all vegan on your asses today, y'all.

Sometimes vegan is appropriate after a booze and meat-filled long weekend, yes?

In other news, this is one of my most favorite new side dishes ever. I made it a few weeks ago for dinner, then I taught it at a cooking class, now I'm showing YOU. It's that good. 3 times in 10 days good.

We had lunch a few weeks ago at one of our favorite local restaurants, Bacon Brothers, and they had a side dish that was kind of like this. It was blackened okra with romesco, and it was SO GOOD. It was a little different than this: we didn't char our okra quite as much and we used fresh tomatoes in the sauce, but both versions were insanely delicious SO if you go to Bacon Bros. before they change the menu try theirs, and if you don't, make your own! Okra is everywhere right now, at least where we live, and side dishes made from super duper cheap local produce just makes ya feel good about life.

Crock Pot Tomato Chicken Tikka

August 28, 2014 by Lindsay 1 Comment

I know, I know.

We're done with the curries over here. I've made approximately ten thousand versions of curry, from all countries, mainly because I LOVE IT SO FREAKING MUCH.

And it's my blog, so there.

This version, though, is really incredible. It uses the fake-out storebought curry paste that I showed you in my very first curry recipe, and besides cutting up some onion and garlic you dump some shit into a slow cooker and move on with your life, only to return to very sexy curry.

Not working very hard for flavorful food is incredibly sexy, incidentally.
