The spirit of Cinco de Mayo comes alive with these roasted nectarine, jalapeno, and brie stuffed poblanos. With a mix of sweet and spicy flavor, they are a fiesta in your mouth!
In all of my haste to describe to you just how wheezy I was in Washington D.C. last weekend, I forgot to tell you about the best part of my 48 hours in our nation’s capital.
Given the fact that I was standing on line to buy cupcakes when it happened, you’ll be surprised to know that it involves a boy and his hair.
A light lemony cake with cream cheese frosting, this four layer rainbow cake is just as delicious as it is beautiful.
Weekend project!!!
And it’s so much better than mowing your lawn or tilling your fields or cleaning your basements or whatever it is you people with real lives do during the spring.
Because, cake. And rainbow sprinkles. And Kermit the frog stuck in your head for a full on 48 hours.
I can’t wait. (!!!!!!)
Cook once eat twice with this richly spiced fava bean soup with string beans and tomato that makes enough to feed an army!
I always forget just how high maintenance fresh favas are until I get them in my fridge and, not only do they demand some VIP shelf space, but they want to be shelled.
TWICE.
It’s like, you give them an inch and they try to steal your entire afternoon.
Those rascals.
1. Margaritas cure all. Even bronchospasms. <– Life fact.
2. The list of “Things I Ate After The Half Marathon” may or may not have included five plates of tapas, one dish of spicy churros, many scoops of dulce de leche ice cream, and two cupcakes for the road. So, basically ALL THE THINGS.
3. I may have taken the whole “calories don’t count after you run 13.1 miles” mentality a little too far.
Filled with the flavors of spring and summer, this corn, asparagus, and basil barley risotto has bits of comfort in every bite.
Nothing like kicking off a Monday with a chest x-ray.
Because your doctor thinks you have PNEUMONIA.
And this was after you told him you ran a half marathon on Sunday.
Now, I’m pretty crazy…but I don’t think even I could have pulled off running a half marathon with pneumonia. That just seems like common sense.

Spicy coconut rice noodles with kale and basil are the perfect healthy addition to your weeknight lineup! It comes together in 30 minutes and is big on flavor and on nutrition.
You know it’s going to be a crazy week when you start reaching for the takeout menus on Monday.
With one (all too easy) phone call, out go all of our gung-ho dreams of getting a home-cooked meal on the table every night this week and in come the cartons of Chinese food.
I know we’ve all been there.
