I don’t think this has escaped anyone … but, OMG guys: The Hobbit: the Battle of the Five Armies came out this week. This is mostly important because I get a second movie that combines my dragon fetish with wonderboy Benedict Cumberbatch. I know that the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings has been…
As I write this column, the snow is falling outside my new place in the Cleve. I have moved from my beloved Philadelphia, where I have been for my entire adult life, back to my home state. While I am sad that I will be leaving so many wonderful people and places behind, I am…
I haven’t really done a Halloween recipe for you guys this year. This is likely the closest you’ll get. The vibrant orange of the mushrooms and the glossy black of the balsamic reduction make it festive enough for my liking. Next year I hope to be less busy and more in-your-face. I actually received these mushrooms,…
I am always looking for inspiration in my cooking. Not just for the website, but for my everyday life. Believe it or not, I don’t typically cook shit for myself. I eat black beans all the time for dinner because it’s easy. Or Chinese take out. In an effort to get some inspiration, I read…
Beer!? For Breakfast!? I don’t know about you guys, but when I’m enjoying a nice little dessert from my childhood, the one thing that comes to mind is: “man, this could use some beer and bacon.” Am I alone here? I didn’t think so. Let’s take our childhood favorite add just that. Bacon, candied in…

I was big into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Being a child of the late 80s/early 90s… I don’t really even think it was an option. I watched…
Jesus loves you, so he gave you his life.* Your mom loves you, so she gave you that Super Nintendo when you were 8. Your cat loves you, so she left you that mouse in your dress shoe. I love you, so I gave you this recipe. That’s it. I’m not going to write you…
I’m a Marvel girl (though sadly, I’m not Marvel Girl), but I don’t have a lot of experience with Guardians of the Galaxy. I stuck around X-Men and the Avengers and never really ran out of material to read, watch and be entertained by. When the Guardians film was announced a couple of years ago,…
There aren’t many things that says “late summer” better than fresh, ripe, juicy tomatoes. Usually there’s an abundance of them. Whether you grow them yourself or get a good deal on them at the grocery store or farmer’s market, they are bound to show up on your kitchen counter. Try making something new with them…
