Shamrock Blizzard

Lookout McDonald's, we've created our own delicious Shamrock Blizzard to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Thick, rich, delicious, and boozy. Do we really need to twist your arm? For a potent shake, use all whiskey. For a virgin version, use the milk. For something in between use 1/4 cup each: milk and whiskey. Shamrock Blizzard Serves 6

Quinoa-Black Bean Fajita Filling with Cilantro and Lime

Since cutting back on our meat consumption, I have been looking for a way to make our weekly fajita night meat-free too. A few times I tried throwing extra vegetables into the roasting pan, but Andy and I both still felt they lacked filler – something that was healthy, but made us feel full. Since

Mad Men-Style Avocado & Crab Mimosa

For the last several years my friend, Chuck Andreae, and I have donated a dinner to benefit our church's youth group. He's in charge of wine, I take care of the food, and people pay a tidy sum to attend. Each year there's a theme. When I found out that our dinner fell on March

Juicing for Beginners

A few weeks ago I was lying low at home while I kicked a nasty 24-hour bug. Relatively helpless on the couch, I browsed through my Netflix queue and stumbled on the movie "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead." As with 94% of films, this movie is pretty extreme. Australian producer, director, and star of the

Shove-it-in-the-Oven Spring Stew

Even though spring isn't officially here for another three solid weeks, the daffodils and crocuses are already making their appearance. And as I'm en route to Panama City, FL today, the flight attendant has just announced it's 78 degrees in the northern part of the Sunshine State. So now's as good a time as any

The Pioneer Woman Cooks Giveaway!

If I had just checked the mailbox earlier on Lent Eve I would have seen Ree's new book, The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier, sooner. It arrived the night we're supposed to empty our flour and sugar bins and use up all the excess butter to make (and overdose) on pancakes. It was

The Pioneer Woman's Homemade Glazed Doughnuts

Mom and I made Ree's doughnuts on Monday afternoon. We each enjoyed exactly one but knew we couldn't be trusted with a whole tray of these babies in my apartment. Even if we hid them, the smell of freshly fried doughnuts would permeate the house. So we piled them onto a baking sheet, covered them
