You know what is absolutely disgusting? Cauliflower. … Said I, 4 years ago. I was a vegetable-lover, but cauliflower, with it’s mild-but-nutty-broccoliness, well it just grossed me out. But then! Then I realized that I’d been doing that whole cauliflower thing all wrong. When prepared correctly, it could be absolutely delicious. It could add extra fiber, vitamins,…
Crispy-Skinned Baked Chicken Wings + Honey Chipotle Garlic Sauce
I am not what we’d call “proper” when it comes to table manners. I rest my elbows on the table. I devour my dinner in record time. If I chew on gristle or bone, I’ll stick my hands right in my mouth and pick it out without a second thought. When I eat, I can guarantee…
Cucumber-Wrapped, Feta-Stuffed Meatballs

Delicious little macaroni noodles all slathered in melted cheese, topped with toasted breadcrumbs– it’s not exactly the kind of slim-down food that most of us are wishing…
Baked Bloomin’ Onion
Some of the best things in life are the worst for you. There are few things that can be compared on a level of immediate satisfaction to a heaping portion of warm, fudgy brownies with vanilla ice cream, or the lovely flavor of bacon-wrapped-anything, or the texture of crunchy deep fried onions with creamy dipping…
