My life is beginning to feel like a constant ebb and flow of travel and eating whatever I want and coming home and counting calories. It’s a little annoying as it seems like the last couple years if I just look at food the wrong way, the weight sticks around FOREVER. Anyone else feeling the…

Nutella Crack
This is a Momofuku Milk Bar recipe (purportedly) that is (purportedly) more addictive than crack. I whipped up dinner for my neighbor last weekend and we had this for dessert. He took the leftovers home in (his) dirty Tupperware that had previously housed egg rolls. He claims that this recipe was so good it didn’t…
Super Model Project: Sweet Chili & Mustard-Glazed Salmon
I’m over here just trying to hone my seafood skills…it’s always so easy to just order out in restaurants, but I hate to make it at home. Don’t ask me why. If you’re a bit seafood adverse in your home kitchen, like me, this is just the recipe for you. Chrissy Teigan claims she’s a little…
Super Model Project: Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts
Vacation is in T-31 days as of today! I hope you’ve been enjoying my healthy-ish countdown on IG story. Everyone knows the next step in vacation prep after excercise and mass veggie consumption is consuming bread at the same rate of Chrissy Teigan. However, in an effort not to consume bread or in Chrissy’s case,…
RPM Italian
During four days in Chicago, I managed two trips to RPM Italian. How’s that for a review. The first meal was so tasty that it prompted me to return before the Psychedelic Furs show to try the few things I’d failed to on night one. On my solo return I wanted to start wtih something…
Funk Food: Almost Take Out
It’s another funky Friday over here in the land of macarons and mayhem. Though, I must say things are looking more like this than any sort of trouble, which is just fine by me. Socializing and (a few too many) cocktails were out of the way early this week so tonight I’m just talking you…
Funk Food: Lavash Pizza
In the continued quest for funk food, aka fake junk food, I rediscovered my love of lavash. The thin, soft unleavened bread can be used as a wrap or toasted up as a pizza. This can be found near tortillas and other flattish things in your grocery and the half off sign prompted me that pizza…
24 Carrot Magic in the Air
This is definitely the cake Bruno Mars croons over in his 24 Carrot jam. It does, in fact, only contain eight large carrots, but I think you’ll let it slide after you taste it. My next door neighbor did (apartment 414) when he ate HALF of this cake in two days. That is an impressive…
Spicy Shramps Over Cheesy Polenta
In a money saving effort of late, I’ve been combing through my pantry trying to use up weird things I’ve bought for this or that project. That’s how I found the freakin’ vat of polenta that’d I’d purchased for a dinner I’d over-planned awhile back. I figured, I’d better get cracking on using that up, so…
Re-Pepp Yourself
Grans Cayman was the soon to be holiday destination of the year! This has been on my bucket list for basically ever and I was excited to be headed there for the long weekend to test drive the first new resort to the island in a decade, the gorgeous Kimpton Seafire. I’ve basically been willing…
Funk Food: Very Veggie Quiche
While I wouldn’t normally qualify quiche as a funk food, that’s fake junk food for you new readers, this recipe is different. BECAUSE IT HAS A CRUST! A CRUST! Glorious carb-like, crunchy, satisfying crust. I have tried sweet potato everythang…but this never occurred to me to try. It Chef Jaime’s recipe, so without further ado…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Funk Food: Cauliflower Breadsticks
Ever continuing my quest for Funk Food – that’s faux junk food for those of you who can look at the stuff without gaining ten pounds – today, I test drove garlic cauliflower “bread sticks.” Let me just tell you these made my heart do a happy dance and that TWO of them equal ONE…
