Dishing up honest food with a dash of humor...
Brain fart. Brain freeze. Whatever you call what is happening with my mind this week, I blame it on the time change. And the boys. Yep. People have kids so you always have somebody to blame for why you are so crabby ooorrrr maybe for a funky smell in the room. Hm, wait, Weezer is the one that catches the blame for that most often.
Yeah, so, this week. Ugh!
If ever there was a time for the phrase, “I can’t even.” It is this week. [Read more…]
Chicky chicky parm parm. If you know that word/phrase, then you know one of my all time favorite shows and we can still be friends. If you don’t know it then, well, I guess we can still be friends. It’s from Parks and Recreation. Amy Poehler is my spirit animal. What are your favorite shows of all time? You know, the ones that when nothing is on TV you can just binge watch old reruns and still love the heck out of them even though you know every single line? [Read more…]
Are you guys still recovering from Super Bowl? Nah, just me? I definitely made way too much food for just us two adults and one kiddo. Then may or may not have got a little crazy and ordered $40 worth of bacon cheeseburger pizzas after Andy went to bed. Don’t worry mom, only a moderate amount of alcohol was involved. It was a Sunday after all! [Read more…]
Something I learned from my years of vegetarianism, aside from the fact that I love a good beefy burger, was that good bread can make or break a sandwich. When all your toppings consist of vegetables, you really need that good bread with a crunchy crisp crust and soft fluffy interior to pull the whole thing together.
There is nothing worse than compiling or ordering all your favorite fillings inside a sandwich and then the bread falls apart. What?!?! Ugh, might as well have ordered a salad. [Read more…]
I am going to keep today’s post short and sweet because I am exhausted. Yesterday I was at the hospital all day waiting for the birth of my brother and my sister-in-law’s baby. Yes, ANOTHER nephew! I am so blessed!
Anyway, when I got home late at night and did not feel like cooking and was holding strong against picking up fast food, I was so happy my pantry was fully stocked and ready to help me make one of my super fast go-to’s, open faced mayo-less white mean and tuna melts. Dinner in ten minutes!!!
Remember my post about grocery shopping and meal planning tips? Well two of my staples, canned beans and canned tuna are mashed together to hold this simple mayo free salad together. Plus you will have plenty of left-overs for lunches and dinners down the road.
After you ooo and awww at this simple sandwich, head over to my friend Stephie’s site to see her pantry and shopping tips for the at-home baker.
