You guys. It’s been over three months since my last post, and big things have happened since then! First, and most importantly, Dan and I found out that I’m pregnant! 17 weeks and counting. Baby Rodgers (no idea what the sex is just yet…we find out in three weeks!) arrives on September 7th, and we’re all very excited…especially the soon-to-be grandparents. So…read more »
Shrimp Po’ Boy Loaded Fries
Ah, the humble potato. Beloved of people…everywhere, really. Delicious, nutritious, versatile – truly, there has never been a more perfect food. Fry ’em, bake ’em, boil and/or mash them – short of burning them to a crisp, there is literally (in my opinion) no way for you to make a potato un-appealing. And did you know that they’re good…read more »
Duck Fat Roasted Potatoes
If I’m being honest, half the reason I opted to roast a duck for Friendsgiving was so that I could get my hands on some duck fat. Why? Because it’s delicoius! It’s got an amazingly light, savory flavor that’s not overpoweringly rich like other fats, and silky-smooth mouth feel. You can use it to cook just…read more »
Pan Roasted Chicken, Potatoes & Asparagus with Truffle Honey Mustard Sauce {Sponsored Post – Maille}
Guys you might not know this, but Dan and I are mustard fiends. At any given point in time, if you come to our house you’ll probably find at least two bottles of yellow French’s mustard in the pantry, and between two and four jars of Dijon/grainy/honey mustard on the shelves. The yellow mustard is for when we have hot…read more »
Colcannon, Revisited
I’m sure you’re all out having fun (drinking green beers? kissing an Irishman?) and not paying any attention to your blog feeds, but I’m going to throw another St. Paddy’s Day post at you anyway. And it’s another good one. Do you like mashed potatoes? How about sauteed greens? If yes, then this is the recipe for you! ‘Cuz…read more »
Potato Leek Soup
Brrr, it’s COLD out there, guys (CA friends, “cold weather” is a natural phenomenon that occurs for about 6 months of the year in most other parts of the country…also, I hate you). How did this happen? One second it’s sunny and I’m walking around wearing skirts and a light trench, the next second it’s dark/gloomy and…read more »
Totchos
Here’s what we ate today: bacon & eggs for breakfast, nachos & beer (actually, cider for me) for lunch, and totchos for dinner. So basically…super healthy and balanced meals . It’s been kind of a great day, actually. Don’t judge me. In other news, it’s almost Cinco de Mayo! My first thought was that I should do…read more »
Roasted Potato Bites with Brie & Mushrooms
Things I’m currently obsessed with, in no particular order: white and purple nail polishes, this sweater from Nordstrom (I may or may not own it in 3 colors…shhh, don’t tell Dan), cinnamon almonds, chocolate covered caramel corn, wedge booties, the Black Jewels trilogy, my new iPhone case that looks like a wallet, and Trader Joe’s Triple Cream Brie with…read more »
Bacon Cheese Fries
Guys, am I crazy or is it supposed to be spring already? You know…longer days, more sunshine, budding flowers, chirping birds…warmer weather? Yes? So why the hell is it snowing! Why is there slush on the ground! Where are my frickin’ spring flowers! TELL ME. Obviously, I’m a little upset about the weather. And, obviously the…read more »
Loaded Mashed Potato Cakes
Guys, I slept until noon today. It was amazing. To be honest, I probably could have slept for at least another hour or two, but I felt kind of guilty. It’s not like I had errands I needed get done or anything, but Dan had been awake since 9am, and even the cats, who are…read more »
