The Pescetarian and the Pig

Piña Colada Macadamia Nuts. Oh my goodness, everyone! It’s finally spring!!! And I say “finally,” because even though spring was apparently supposed to start a couple of weeks ago, it seems like everyone’s still been waiting on the winter to be over. Well, the good news is, you’re not alone! Because here in Charlotte, it was […]

Light Rotini Pasta and VeggiesOh Rotini Pasta… Your beautiful spirals, your tender texture, your amazing capacity to hold flavor in your shape…how is it that I could have gone all of these years and not fallen in love with you until now? You were there the whole time, but I never noticed… Perhaps it’s because […]

Cinnamon Chocolate Cookies Dipped in Dark Chocolate I apologize for my absenteeism… I hope I can make it up to you with these amazing cookies. You see, the thing is, oh man, I’m full of excuses. Last week I was struck by 3 bugs. 3 bugs! And I don’t mean the cute, cuddly, 6 legged […]

Yin Yang Cookies.Harmony. Balance. Two wildly different things uniting to make something truly wonderful. The yin yang. This week has had a lot of the balancing act going on for me.

Mexican Style Egg White PoppersHigh protein. Low carb. Tasty little morsels of awesomeness. I love ’em because they’re so versatile as far as what time of day to eat them. Breakfast? Lunch? Dinner? Snack? Wham-bam, good for all four. Plus, I flip over anything I can top with Cholula. Or stick jalapeños in. Or cilantro. […]

Pomegranate CosmopolitanBecause sometimes you just need a drink. And if you’re like me, you like that drink to be fruity, or chocolately, or coffee-y (?), and basically just straight up delicious. And if you’re like me, you will garnish the crap out of that drink because given the choice between lime, red sugar, and pomegranate […]

Here it is! The long-awaited recipe for the “Beet of My Heart” Ravioli featured in Episode 3: How to Host the Perfect Romantic Dinner Date (at home)!
