Easy Collard Greens with Bacon

Easy Collard Greens with Bacon

I know, it’s the middle of summer and I’m the weirdo eating collard greens. Let me tell you why. Our 4th of July weekend started off spectacularly, with sunshine, a cool breeze, a few adult beverages and some super grilling. Glorious! However, our weather good fortune did not want to hold. Which is how I […]

Dairy Free Seafood Chowder

Who knew you could make a dairy free chowder AND that it could be creamy-delicious-goooood? I didn’t until pretty recently!

Honestly, I tend to leave the actual grilling part to Mr Meatified, which means my contributions to these meals is really only the side dishes or the occasional marinade. I’m ok with this – it’s nice for me to […]

Crispy Shoestring Parsnip Fries

Mmmm, fries. What is not to love about a crispy golden fried starchy vegetable? Aside from the fact that I’m phobic about deep fat frying. Nope, I’m not scared of the fat, just the frying part. You know, the part where I envision myself accidentally immolating myself and exploding my house in an action-movie-esque scene […]
