Whatever Floats Your Zucchini Boat

I had leftover chopped meat from a meaty mixture I made earlier in the week. I also had leftover sauce. Technically, this does not a real bolognese make ... but it's Wednesday, what the hell do you want from me? I'm just a single woman trying to survive in the big city ... on her savings ... while building a wellness business ...

Make This Sauce Now

Marcella Hazan, the most bodacious of all old lady Italian home cooks - aside from my mom and nonna - makes the simplest sauce. A sauce I so wholly believe is the most delicious in the land, what with it's thin layer of butter in every bite.

From The Frittata Files + A Note On Cooking (It Saved My Life)

Me and pork are in a bad boyfriend relationship. He's slick, tasty, filling, enticing and is absolutely perfect in the moment - but the second he leaves (and then come the hours later) ... he has me regretting I ever met him.

A Roasted Vegetable Round-Up + Why I Do It (Roast) Weekly

The one thing I've done most weekends or one weeknight a week for the last 16 years (aside from wake up every morning and have a glass of water and go for a walk) is roast a tray of vegetables, cut up and/or steam - so I'm set for mindful mindless meal prep during the week. And I sort of hate myself for typing that because I sound like the biggest fucking bore - but I love myself - all at once. That's why I do it. The cooking, that is.

Stop Paying $12 For Avocado Toast! And Noticing What Food Does For You.

Here's the thing, avocado toast has been all the rage for quite some time now - but the reality is that it takes all of 5 minutes to make at home. Why aren't you doing it and saving yourself a pretty penny?

I made this mornings breakfast for a total of $1.35 in no time flat.

More From the Leftover Diaries: Pasta with Romanesco Cauliflower

It's getting late in the week and as of Wednesday I was still staring at this weekend's roasted romanesco cauliflower. The trials and tribulations of cooking for one and working to make it fun continue.

Make Time To Cook, Play With Your Food + Eat Your Leftovers

The other day I made the most beautiful chicken sausage stuffed zucchini. Nothing gets my motor running like stuffing things. That also sounds sexual, and it's supposed to, because that's how I write when it comes to food.
