  • Do This Next Weekend: Stamp Out Hunger

    in , ,

    I’m pretty passionate about this topic because I personally feel that food insecurity and hunger are the most embarrassing issues facing North Carolina right now. We aren’t lacking food. (Thanks, farmers!) We aren’t lacking the money, resources, and science to solve this problem. (Like cancer, etc.) This is a fixable issue facing hundreds of thousands…

  • Manfriend Meals: Texas Caviar

    Texas Caviar. Redneck Caviar. Southern Caviar. Redneck Salsa. I’ve seen recipes of this variety called a lot of different names. No matter what you call it, or what combination of flavors you include, it’s probably going to be ridiculously addicting. While not a “meal”, my manfriend would gladly make a meal of this recipe: Texas…

    (image via IMDB.com) Johnnie Bud and I rented The Hundred-Foot Journey via the Google Play Movie store on Sunday night to try out our new Chromecast device (more on that in another post). At just over two hours long, it was a little slow, but beautifully shot and made me super anxious to get back…

    There was nothing meatless about Monday dinner last night, but it was the first time in many weeks that Johnnie Bud and I have been able to have a real dinner at home together, so I felt compelled to surprise him with something he had recently pointed out as looking tasty: Kraft’s Updated Shepherd’s Pie.…

  • Life Experiment: Humdinger Juice Three-Day Cleanse

    in ,

    The background: My manfriend won a three-day Humdinger Juice cleanse for me at the Rex Gala a few weekends ago. I really like cold-pressed juice and have earmarked November to get a little bit healthy and in-shape before the holidays, so the timing worked out well. I ordered the three-day cleanse online, set Sunday as…

  • Meatless Monday: Fresh Spinach Tomato and Garlic Tortellini Soup

    The Manfriend and I enjoyed this for dinner last week and it’s going into our regular rotation, especially looking forward to chilly fall and winter evenings: Fresh Spinach Tomato and Garlic Tortellini Soup. This was a super quick fix, but because the tortellini gets soft quick, I don’t recommend it for an all day Crockpot…

    The manfriend requested all of these recipes separately, but I thought they’d make a great meal together: Farfalle with Mushrooms and Spinach Balsamic Roasted Carrots I made the farfalle dish as the main entree, with the balsamic carrots on the side, green beans, and wheat dinner rolls. The verdict? He loved it all!Especially the carrots.…

    Two of my favorite people welcomed their first child almost a month ago, so many of our friends have taken turns bringing over dinner to the new parents to help ease them into craziness of what I can only imagine parenthood to be. It was my turn on Tuesday, so I cruised their Pinterest accounts…
