As usual, I’m cheating a bit. Homemade Chipotle Burrito Bowls Recipes used: Cilantro-Lime Rice from Iowa Girl Eats Chile-lime chicken Black beans were simmered with chili powder and bay leaves. Guacamole included: 4 avocados, 1 chopped tomato, 1/4 diced red onion, 1/2 diced jalapeño, juice of two limes, salt
I used to make white chicken chili all the freaking time. It got to the point where I could make it without checking the recipe, it came out the same every single time, and thanks to that, I got really sick of it. Adam got sick of it. Heck, I think our fridge got sick [...]
When I was younger and still living at home with my mom, there were a few things she’d make that I just couldn’t keep a fork or spoon out of. One was her tuna salad. Another was chicken soup with matzo ball soup. And another was her chicken salad. Usually sometime not long after she [...]
I’ve always prided myself in being able to throw together a meal with not much more than what was already in my kitchen. Some people consider “staples” to be nothing more than cans of beans, bottled water, and condiments, but I’m of a different school of thought. “Staples” will allow a good meal to be [...]
I had a truly glorious 3 days in Tucson! The weather was amazing, I got to spent some time with my favorite Fitnessista and her Pilot who took Kristin and I to some of their favorite Tucson spots. After a long and fairly bumpy flight, we met Gina and the Pilot at the patio of [...]

Camp begins for me on June 13. This means for you, Wednesdays in Numbers start again on June 15! 2. Maddux [...]
I was about 7 years old when it happened. I had a wiggly tooth. Not the kind of wiggly tooth where you totally make your fingers slip around to make it look like it was wiggly, but a really truly wiggly tooth. This was the kind of wiggly tooth that could spin all the way [...]
You all didn’t know me in my enchilada days. When I moved out on my own (ok, with two roommates) I was so excited to have a kitchen that I could actually cook in, and a dining room to sit in and eat meals with friends and family. I cooked many meals for many different [...]
Dinner was a plate of random: Oven-roasted black pepper and garlic potato slices with… A butterflied and pounded and lightly breaded and pan “fried” chicken breast with… Cucumbers in tzatziki sauce. Redundant? Yes. Delicious? Also yes. Why the random dinner? Well, it’s Adam’s birthday tomorrow, and I have a project to complete… You all know [...]
