Did I really cook up a batch of intestines?
I guess you’ll have to read on to find out… Continue reading

Adult Dirt Dessert
Not adult like booze…adult like chocolate mousse instead of chocolate pudding, and white chocolate ghosts and Milano cookies instead of gummy worms.
Although a boozy version of this would be kind of awesome. That may need to happen next…
But for real you guys, this stuff is like crack. It’s dangerous, addictive, and when it’s gone, you’ll cry for more.
It’s soooooooper rich, so a little goes a long way, but the sad part is, even though your mouth is going AH STOP TOO RICH, your stomach is all BUT I HAVE ROOM! I HAVE ROOM FOR MORE! Continue reading
Chocolate Spiders!
I hate spiders.
Like, turn into an angry rage monster on a murder spree when I see them in my apartment.
If I’m outside and I see one, fine. Your house, your rules. But I do not recall ever inviting one of you into my home.
So when I see you, you are fair game. And I may use every tool at my disposal including, but not limited to, shampoo bottles, soap dispensers, flip flops, Arabic text books, vacuum cleaners, chemically based pesticides, water, or newspapers, to discourage you, and your creepy relatives, from ever entering my home again.
Unless you are a chocolate spider. Continue reading
Roasted Butternut Squash, Apple, and Fig Pizza
And garlic. Did I forget to mention the garlic? Because roasted garlic makes everything better.
This pizza is one big Fall-splosion of delicious. Continue reading
Southwest Stuffed Peppers
I’m always looking for a way to sneak in more veggies.
I think simple swaps are the key to making healthy eating easy.
Take these stuffed peppers for example. I love love love Mexican food, but all the chips, tortillas, and delicious rice can create a carb overload when you’re trying to eat a more balanced diet. Continue reading
Apple Pie Oatmeal
Confession: You are going to be seeing a lot of apples in the next few weeks.
Confession: I am totally obsessed with apples right now.
I already told you about my terrible habit of buying a million (or like…20) apples every time I go to the farmers market. But now you get to find out what exactly I do with all these apples. Sort of simultaneously with me figuring out what exactly I do with all these apples. Continue reading
Eggplant “Meatballs”
I had the most delicious eggplant meatballs at King’s wine bar in south Minneapolis a few months ago, and I had to figure out how to make them for myself.
Turns out, they’re actually pretty simple. This recipe uses a food processor (which I love!) to speed things up even more.
These “meatballs” are plenty meaty on their own – they’d make a great appetizer, or a tasty vegetarian meal when topped with tomato sauce and a little cheese. Continue reading
Baked Apples with Figs, Ginger, and Whipped Cream
I have a real problem buying apples.
There, I said it. I admit it. I can’t stop.
I cannot stop buying apples. I’m at the farmer’s market, my arms are already weighed down with melons, corn, red peppers, zucchini, and something else that’s making my bag really heavy, when I decide I NEED apples. Continue reading
White Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream
I could never be lactose intolerant.
I could probably go gluten free before I dropped the dairy. Both of which I hope never, ever, happen.
Seriously. Look at that. How could I ever not just eat all of it? Continue reading
Whiskey Cider Ginger Cocktail
Or as I like to call it, the Apple Snap.
That could already be the name of a drink, I don’t know. But it’s a better name than Whiskey Cider Ginger so until I learn otherwise, I am going to feel clever and original.
A word about cocktails – I never ever make them.
Because you can’t make just one cocktail. Continue reading
