Looks Like Tomato (kinda), Tastes Like Carrot

I was planning on making this recipe for a week and finally got around it today. Just so happens it is the EXACT same day that Chrissy chose to chronicle this recipe on her Instagram. Proof that her and I should be friends. What was in it: Onions, Carrots, Salt, Pepper, Broth, Coconut Milk, Ginger, …

Stop the Press

In the intro of this recipe, Chrissy tells the story of how she thought she had perfected this dish. However, when the book was about to be printed, she halted everything so that she could add chorizo to the recipe. And we are so glad she did! This dish was nice and spicy. Enough to …

Semi-Homemade Taco “Salad”

Johnnie Bread or Bust

I got the inspiration to try Chrissy’s French toast recipe from the three loaves of Johnnie bread sitting on my counter after the wedding. What is Johnnie bread? Why do I have 3 loaves? What does it have to do with my recent wedding? So many questions. Lucky for you, I have all the answers. …

#ThanksChrissy

I can count on one hand the number of times I have had scallops. Additionally, I have purchased and made scallops the same amount of times the Vikings have won the super bowl in the past 48 years (hint: its zero). Also, Spencer refuses to eat fish unless its battered, fried, and put in a …

The Journey Begins

Thanks for joining me on my journey as I cook my way through cookbooks, discover new recipes, and enjoy all the different foods the world (and my kitchen) has to offer! Spencer asked if the Hallowed-Out Italian Sandwich could be the first recipe I make from Chrissy’s new cookbook. As a loyal wife of 2 …
