One of my favorite things in the world is Indian food. I love the depth of flavor you can achieve from dried spices and I’m seldom disappointed by a good curry. I even wanted to have Indian food for my wedding (having no actual Indian roots, my family poo pooed this idea). Some of my…
Warm weather always makes me want to eat a little healthier, lighter, faster, funner. (Funner?) A quick, healthy thing to whip up is this Avocado Beanie Baby Dip. I promise, no Beanie Babies were harmed in the making of this dip. It uses a can of butter beans (also known as baby lima beans) and…
Hows about some Philadelphia in your mouth!? Head over to DrinkingCraft.com and check out my latest Ode to Philly. (I know I do it a lot, but I can’t help it, I love this town!) I’ve put together some delicious, pillowy soft pretzels using the light, crisp and too-easily chuggable Victory Lager. Loaded with four…
Ron Swanson is a man full of manliness. Not a single one of you is more masculine than he is. Not one. (Except maybe Nick Offerman.) He likes steak and whiskey, he hates the government and showing emotion. If you are a Parks and Rec fan, you are a Ron Swanson fan. I have no…
Summer is closing soon, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m a fall and winter girl and I always dread the heat. But, I can’t deny how awesome it is to have fresher produce and bright flavors. With that in mind, I couldn’t let summer close out without doing something fresh, bright and yummy. It’ll still…
This is the last week. The last week we’ll ever be able to say “I can’t wait until next season of Breaking Bad.” Are you emotionally ready to handle that? I don’t think I am. I’m going to be honest with you, here. I’m fresh off of finishing the Wire. (Like, within the past hour.)…
Hey guys. It’s my 50th post! [Set off your fireworks now, please.] To celebrate 50 posts on Bacon and Legs, we’re having bacon and eggs. For the first time in the history of this blog, actually. Kind of wrong, right? But, you know I can’t just do bacon and eggs without adding a couple cheeses…
I used to hate tomatoes. Growing up, I wanted nothing to do with them. I didn’t even like sauce. I’d wipe it off my pizza. If my mom made spaghetti, I’d prefer to have plain noodles saved out. I just wanted none of that shit. Somewhere around 18, I made a conscious effort to start…
I’m mostly a savory-for-breakfast kind of girl. But I get sick of the same old crap all time. On weekends I like to spice it up a little. This is a perfect breakfast, buttloads of nutrition AND flavor. Not to mention, it’s the perfect amount of filling. Smoky Quinoa Breakfast Bowl 1/4 cup quinoa, cooked…
I often wonder if Hawaiians ever get sick of being associated with pineapple the way Philadelphians get sick of being associated with cheesesteak. Don’t get me wrong. I love cheesesteak. But Philadelphia is home to Dinic’s, which was voted best sandwich in the country. And it’s not a cheesesteak! Nonetheless, I went against my gut and…
