Being a food blogger sometimes has some major perks. Like opening my door to a box full of bags of free Pretzel Crips. Awesome. After mowing my way through a few of the packages, I decided it would be cool to cook with the pretzels in a different way. What’s a better way to use…

Recipe: Roast Beef and Endive
Now that springtime is FINALLY here (for a while there I thought winter would never end), its time for fun light salads that are easy to make and fill you up after a run, or in my case, a challenging yoga class. Endive is a great lettuce, totally under-utilized if you ask me, so I…
Recipe: Classic Greek Salad with Steak
Who doesn’t love a Greek salad? No one, that’s who. I personally like mine without lettuce, a simpler salad that lets the veggies shine (and the traditional salad is without lettuce also, so it’s more accurate). Thanks to Food Network for inspiring the dressing, but you can really use any dressing you choose (or just…
Recipe: Pomegranate–Balsamic Glazed Salmon
Here’s another recipe that I love with some great fall flavors. Pomegranate, balsamic, and whole grain mustard come together in this glaze that is flavorful but will not overpower the fish. Super simple to make and a sure crowd–pleaser, this recipe is perfect for a quick dinner on the nights leading up to Thanksgiving. I…
Recipe: Chicken Taco Salad
It’s taco Tuesday guys, so get excited. I think this recipe for a taco salad definitely qualifies as a fun way to celebrate the weekly holiday (it’s a holiday, right?). I found this on The Pioneer Woman but I switched it up a little. I had a whole mess of chicken thighs in my freezer…
Recipe: Apple–Blue Cheese Slaw
So normally, I like to write about dishes that are more main courses than anything, but this slaw is awesome, and a great side dish to pair with my fried chicken that I’ve written about before. You can find uses of this slaw past a chicken partner, though. Top it with chicken, use it to…
Cheap Eats: Earl of Sandwich
On days that are bright and sunny (like today, although I am sitting at home watching The Matrix), I like to meet The Russian near his job downtown and have lunch in the commons. Since we’re both adventurous folk , we like to try new places to eat. Yesterday was Earl of Sandwich, which has…
Recipe: Soy-Balsamic chicken thighs
I recently obtained a subscription to Real Simple, a magazine that literally makes me feel better about a lot of things in my life, from organization to awesome recipes (Don’t worry Food Network Magazine, you’re still my #1). The magazine covers everything from simple organization around the home to simple, classy clothing (an area I…
Recipe: Beet Salad
I love eating hearty foods in winter, and beets are up there with some of my favorite foods (good thing I’m marrying The Russian). I love the earthy flavor, the texture, and how well they pair with so many different foods (I also love all the fun colors they come in). I really also love…
