Braised Pork with Garlic Cloves, Rosemary, and Tomatoes

September 13, 2013 by Lindsay 1 Comment

OHHH tee gee the effing eye eff.

Sorry. I'm tired.

Also I randomly got sick last from heaven knows what and Jay kind of stared at me like I had antlers because he's not exactly naturally nurturing? We're gonna have to work on that again in case I ever get sick again in our entire lives together.

Not that I'm feeling like all the burden falls on me to be the caretaker-type or anything. NOPE.

Anyway, since it's Friday and maybe you need to feel better too?....I think we should have some comfort food.

I made this last week for....well, for this blog, and it was eaten by many people at weird times...and it was a HIT. Super delicious, tender pork braised in white wine and tomatoes with whole garlic cloves that soften and just YES. The flavors in this are really incredible but there AREN'T MANY INGREDIENTS, which is a huge draw for, well, anyone.

It tastes fancy, it ain't. Winning, huh?

Deconstructed Ratatouille Salad with Garlic Chips

September 9, 2013 by Lindsay Leave a Comment

Family. It's Monday.

I'm kind of OK with that because I slept well-ish (the ish is like....I slept well considering that I'm a raging insomniac?), did yoga this morning, and am PLOWING through this day.

Plowing, I tell you. It's great.

So, in the interest of making sh*t happen and taking care of ourselves, I'd like to present to you this new recipe that is super healthy yet delicious.

We're talking about a total farm-fresh salad that has most of the components of a traditional ratatouille but that is REALLY fast to make, not heavy in the slightest, and doesn't cook the vegetables to death so you REALLY taste them, which is awesome at this time of year when raw stuff actually tastes good.

In related news, my mom and I joined a CSA! We get our first basket of food on Thursday and I CAN'T FREAKIN WAIT. That's all I know so far.

Vegan Banana Ice Cream 2 Ways

April 26, 2013 by Lindsay 1 Comment

I made us ice cream.

It was my first time. It was good.

Ew. Sorry.

ANYWAY. I just really couldn't figure out anything better to make for our last day of Vegan Week besides dessert. It's been a great week! I have lots more vegan ideas for us, so this is definitely not a one-time thing.

The ice cream, though. You've heard about this, yes? There's ONE ingredient. It's bananas. The ingredient, not the feeling of making the ice cream.

You blend it up, and BAM. Ice cream. Something about the composition of the fruit makes the pureed product really light and airy, like it's been whipped, and you can't tell that there's no cream or other additions in it.

I added some flavorings because I felt like it, but the plain version was delicious too. Ice cream for breakfast!

Bacon Asparagus Quiche with Puff Pastry

April 8, 2013 by Lindsay Leave a Comment

I made quiche!

This is a big thing for me.

I don't like eggs so....quiche? Frittata? Not so much.

BUT, my mom used to make quiche all the time when I was little so it's kind of a thing in our family. And THEN our friend Matt brought us some eggs that his chickens laid. And I wasn't going to use fresh eggs in brownies or something dumb. AND THEN I had some sad asparagus that I wanted to use.

So I made quiche. With bacon too.

I loved it! I knew I would like it but...this was REALLY good. I think I'm going to stop hating quiche. The sharp cheese and fresh eggs and bacon .... OH. You need to try this ASAP.

Restaurant Review - The Local Taco Greenville

February 21, 2013 by Lindsay Leave a Comment

Yum!

A new restaurant is in town.

It's a chain, but only kind of.

The Local Taco started alllllll the way in Tennessee (not really), and just opened a location in Greenville! I've been there three times now, and I LIKE IT A LOT. Also, I ate leftovers from dinner last weekend yesterday for lunch and I LIKED THEM A LOT.

Seriously. This place is great. A manager, Kris, emailed and asked if we'd like to come write a review and duh, we did. I had already been and wanted to take Jay, so we went for an early dinner last week before we went to see my sister sing the national anthem at a hockey game. Because you care about things like that.

Local Taco is a Mexican-fusian restaurant, if I had to call it anything. Their menus are different at each of their locations based on local favorites. They use local ingredients, too, which I love.
