Happy Thanksgiving, or at least what’s left of it by the time this post is posted. How was your day? I hope you had a great day. I spent Thanksgiving following the CDC guidelines to remain socially distanced from a large gathering. I do plan to see my family for Christmas, but we will practice…
Chop ‘n Chat: Salmon Lunch
Have you been eating poorly? Would you like to redeem yourself (and give your tummy a break) by cooking a fast and healthy(ish) meal? Yes, this blog post will help you prepare an entire MEAL for yourself, not just a dish! And, if you decide to watch me make this meal in the video below,…
How to Cook Squash Simply
Squashes. They come in various shapes, sizes, lengths, and girths…just like people. But, what in the hell do you DO with them, besides use them for decoration? You know…also, just like people. I bought a delicata squash (whatever that is, to be honest) just because it was so pretty! But then, when I got home,…
Basic Ass Pinto Beans
Beans. Harbingers of intestinal gas. Nuggets of fiber. A simple and tasty thing to have for dinner! I have heard other home cooks and chefs say that the best beans are the dried ones, soaked over night. I have a confession: while I believe that dried beans taste better, I have honestly never soaked my…
Creamy Shrimp and Pasta
Do you love butter? How about shrimp? I don’t even have to ask if you love pasta…right? If you are craving something delicious, comforting, and gut busting, then you’ve clicked on the right recipe.

Wind Down for the Night Juice
Today was another DAY! And I don’t mean those all caps in a nice way. Is there a way to hurl cuss words at all of a Thursday? If so, I’d like to know how to insult this entire day. But, on the bright side, I think that I found help for my tech issues….
Anti-Inflammatory Juice for Annoyed People
What a day! A long day, full of all of the annoyances related to a major tech snafu! But nevertheless, she persisted! Today’s juice features the anti-inflammatory powerhouse and number two hand stainer (a close second only to beets), our expensive and golden friend: ground turmeric. I added ground turmeric to my green juice today…
UnBEETable and Easy Juice
Today is day 2 of 5 of my weeklong juice challenge. I am realizing, just today, that it is quite ambitious to produce a video per day. Producing a video per day takes almost as long as it takes to clean all of the juicer parts. If you have a juicer, you can probably relate…
4 Ingredient Basic Green Juice
Last week, I visited a local juicery named Clean Juice (this mention is not sponsored). I accidentally ordered the 20 ounce serving of juice and it was $14. I call it an accident because I really did want the 20 ounce serving, but I was quite shocked when the cashier told me the price. Clean…
