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,…
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,…
My office is full of enablers. We all have snacking running through our veins… clogging our arteries. Within our small group, someone is always bringing in something. (More often than not, it’s me.

Editor’s Note: Below is the column as it appeared on DrinkingCraft.com. Attention apartment dwellers, busy people and lovers of pork! With warm weather typically comes grilling. But marinating meat and cooking it over a flame, carefully watching and attentively prodding it isn’t always feasible. For those moments, you need a recipe for a nice and easy…
There are a few things that people consider “summer foods” or perfect for picnics and barbecues that my family has completely mastered. They make these foods so well, mind you, that we now also make them for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, President’s Day… whenever we get the excuse. The first recipe is my mom’s baked beans….
Food bloggers can come up with awesome recipes. Ideas out of nowhere that are weird and amazing and delicious. But sometimes we overlook the classics. The things that have stood the tests of time. They are there for a reason. This is my homage to a classic. Carbonnade Flamande is a traditional Flemish beef and…
I decided that we all slack off a little too much. Want dinner? Sure. What do you want? Oh, I don’t know, I was thinking about throwing these sausages on the grill. Bullshit! You got an onion? You got some beer? Of course you fucking do. So why not do a whole hell of a…
