🍴: Mon — TJ’s Garlic Gondolas + pancetta and extra cheese, salad Tues — half a head of cauliflower and all the beans from Rancho Gordo Bean Club led us to this (sub kale we needed to use up) with simple grilled boneless pork chops and a repurposed Dijon gravy hanging out in the fridge.…

Fun fact: I had this all mainly drafted and already to go… and forgot to finish it on Sunday when I had a costume fitting, yoga, and two blocks of rehearsal. Y’all know I never claimed to be a proper blogger. 🍴: Mon- the world’s fastest caldo verde soup inspired by this month’s Food &…

🍴: Mon – rehearsal downtown meant Thai Harmony, our fave sushi in town Tues – dinner with our dogsitter and their partner, who conveniently live a few blocks away and are dear friends — Smoke City Meats ribeyes with a radish corn salad (because we accidentally double bought radishes) Ă la Feasting at Home plus…

🍴: Mon – Accidental Meatless Monday feat. mushroom tacos with refried beans, queso, corn, avocado, and pickled radish — possibly Hampton’s favorite veg tacos ever.

Luckily, I got four super great ones. They’re not available until next spring, but you can still place pre-orders…

So, yeah, this summer… that was a thing. Hampton and I both ended the spring with some killer shows and then it was all, well, life as usual. Snuggly puppies, tv, and lots of other people’s recipes. I may be in the midst of books 99 and 100 of the year, but there have been…

Happy pub date to Jo Callaghan for her In the Blink of an Eye! I loved this debut novel when I read it thanks to NetGalley, so when her publisher contacted me with this neato graphic and asked me to share, I was happy to oblige! I loved this! Great combo of police procedural and…
