Mac and cheese gets an autumnal makeover in this rigatoni torte with fall vegetables.
Here’s the secret of Italian food. And I’m allowed to tell you because I’m all born-and-bred 100% full-blooded and all that jazz. But if you tell anyone, well.
Let’s just say I know a few people in the “waste management” industry. Capisce?
JOKING. Breathe. Be calm. No one is going to get offed. Pinky swear.
Football season is here and what better way to spice up your favorite tailgating food than with this chocolate beer chipotle barbecue sauce!
Word on the street (and out of the.boy’s mouth) is that my tailgating virginity is simultaneously a travesty and unforgivable (personally I think his interest is just piqued by the word “virginity”, but whatever). That I am missing out on one of life’s best!, most fun! and most delicious! experiences and that we really must remedy this “situation” we’ve found ourselves in immediately before I become a cat lady or, worse, a Giants fan.
What one has to do with the other, I’m still thoroughly unclear on, nor do I have any idea how a boy born and raised in Brooklyn can call himself a diehard Cowboys fan. But so it is.
The ultimate set it and forget it meal, this slow cooker black bean ragout is hearty and delicious, especially served over roasted sweet potatoes!
Once upon a time, four score and two apartments ago, I totally had a slow cooker in my life.
We were a little bit inseparable during my college days. “Besties”, is the totally technical term that I think the kids these days would call it.
And then I had to ruin things when I up and went vegetarian. And gave it away to one of my old roommates.
Judas priest. Right here.
Sugar cookies get an edgy twist in these dark and chewy brown butter brown sugar cookies…you won’t be able to have just one!
Sometimes, I’m probably psychic.
Hopefully not like two nights ago when I had this crazy vivid dream about the marathon (which is in, oh, two weeks) and it involved running through people’s houses, riding a bicycle (which is a whole other recurring nightmare in and of itself), and misplacing my boyfriend.
(Just…..totally freaking out. No biggie.)
The perfect one-pot breakfast, these migas are full of crispy tortilla strips, nutritious vegetables, and creamy Manchego cheese.

Sometimes I crave scrambled eggs to the point where it feels totally possible that the world will end if I don’t have them in the next five minutes.
So then it’s like an episode of Top Chef gone way wrong as I try to race against the (imaginary) clock to fry them up and get them in my face before the universe implodes.
(I wish I could say that the image you now have in your head of me whirlwhinding around my apartment with a skillet flailing and egg yolk in my hair is a gross exaggeration. But no. That’s real life.)
Lasagna gets infused with some Mexican flair in the form a butternut squash filling and spicy beer-chocolate mole sauce.
If I haaaaavvveee to carb load and eat ALL THE PASTA for this little marathon thing that I’m doing in three weeks.
Then you’re going down with me.
So sad for you. Don’t look so forlorn.
