Back when I was eight, I really wanted to be a double digit age.
Then when I was 10, I was dying to be a teenager.
And then when that finally happened, I was ready and willing to be 21.
(So much so that I occasionally ignored all rhyme, reason, and New York State laws and pretended that that was the case.)
(I didn’t say that. For the record.)
(Mom. You didn’t read this. Mmm k?)
When life hands you swiss chard and sorrel…make soup! Check out Marcus Samuelsson’s blog for the post and recipe!
I made you cupcakes but I put something green in them and so I’ve decided to call them muffins.
I may be going color blind.
At least twenty-two times this weekend, I attempted to bookmark red, white and green food in my google reader. And label it as “4th of July Friendly”.
Only to hit myself over the head within five minutes when I remembered that the American flag is not, in fact, red, white and green. And no amount of mislabeled recipes is going to change that.
Not everyone is as into spreading the healthy love as I am.
I get that. And I hold all judgment.
(Except when my mother tries to put chicken on my plate at a barbecue, all the while trying to tell me it’s not meat.
I mean. It’s probably not because she bought it in one mass-produced package at a wholesale club and so it’s probably more antibiotic and pesticide than it is actual chicken. But that’s another argument for another family gathering.)
What do you do when you end up in an alternate universe in which you need to bake something but there is absolutely not a single tbsp of butter in your fridge? Make peanut no-butter chocolate chip cookies, of course! Check out the recipe over at Marcus Samuelsson’s site.
Also, I wanted to let everyone know about the release of a new recipe website called Gojee, which will feature tasty dishes by some of the blogosphere’s most talented food writers (yours truly included). Please go check it out!
Welcome to Eats Well With Others, where we take a vegetable-and-cupcake laden approach to life (always with a bit of laughter on the side)!
