A big bowl of chili is probably one of my favorite comfort foods. I have been known to make a big pot of chili at the beginning of the week, and eat off of it all week-long. I love that I can add avocado, scallions, cheese, cilantro, jalapenos, tortilla chips, etc. It is kind of like a choose your own adventure dish that just makes me so so happy. We were invited to a potluck last week, while San Diego… Read more »
Yup, I went there…I made homemade Sriracha that you will want to put on ALL of the things. I will be the first to admit it that I have a hot sauce addiction. I currently have 10 hot sauces hanging out in my fridge, and I welcome anyone that wants to share their favorites with me. My current favorite hot sauces are Cholula and Gringo Bandito, but I have a large place in my heart for the almighty Sriracha. I… Read more »
To say that I have a small addiction to chips and salsa is an understatement. I could probably eat chips and salsa every day if I had the chance. Heck, I made Derika take me out for Mexican food on both Friday and Saturday last weekend…I seriously have a problem. Last week Tuesday, my friend Erin reached out to me to see if I might like to grab a tasty beverage or dinner. It occurred to me that it… Read more »
It has been heating up in NYC, which has been making our apartment feel like my own personal sauna. We do have air conditioners, but I am fighting it, because I feel like I really need to embrace the summer a bit since the winter was so brutal. I will admit though that we have been using the one in our bedroom at night to help us sleep…it has also been doing wonders on drowning out the city noise. As a result of… Read more »
I wish that everyday were taco Tuesday, so then I could eat all things Mexican all of the days! I think that I have mentioned in a blog post or ten that I love Mexican food and I really love taco Tuesday. Not like I need a reason, but it gives me an extra reason to whip up some Mexican food and eat the heck out of some chips and salsa. The other day, I was doing the washer and… Read more »
So the veggie spiralizer obsession continues! I thought that since I did a blog post on how to make zucchini noodles that it would be a little cruel to leave you hanging without something delicious to cover them with. I bet you didn’t know this, but I live with a Bolognese Connoisseur…my wife Derika looooooves Bolognese. Currently, her two favorite places to get Bolognese are Bizarro Italian Cafe in Seattle and the Union Square Cafe in NYC. If you… Read more »
MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm….Good! Soup is definitely one of my favorite things, especially if it has a little kick! It is super chilly here on the east coast right now, but this zippy tomato basil soup will warm you right up and it is a cinch to make. The inspiration for this recipe was a parmesan cheese rind that I have been saving in my fridge. I have always wanted to use one in a recipe, and I thought that this rind would… Read more »
In honor of Taco Tuesday, I am sharing my quick and simple Pico de Gallo recipe. I love Pico and all types of salsa. The best thing about both of them is that chips can be used as the vehicle, and I have never met a chip that I did not like. The secret to a great Pico is to keep it simple. When I first started making Pico de Gallo, I would always try to sass it up with… Read more »
Back in the day my favorite quick meal to make at home was a garbage quesadilla. What is a garbage quesadilla, you ask? Basically veggies and a veggie friendly protein stuffed into a tortilla with cheese (everything is better with cheese), fold the stuffed tortilla in half and brown in a pan on both sides. I am trying to not eat as many gluten products these days, so I have been making the heck out of Veggie Bowl-Ritos. What is… Read more »
Ok, I know what you are thinking…It’s is like a bazillion degrees out, why in the heck is she posting a chili recipe!? Well, I am a fan of soup in any form no matter what time of year it is. Also what is better than chili on a hot sweaty day??? Veggie Chili dogs of course! So whip up a batch of this chili…eat some right after it is done, eat some a few days later, make some chili… Read more »
