Telling food stories, one kitchen at a time
These are the best crab cakes. Mmmkay? Mmmkay!
But first, let me do a little shameless plug because, even though The Every Kitchen has not been bumpin’ the past several months, I’ve had a little traffic thanks to some great people finding my recipes. Since we’re now in the baby stages of pumpkin season, let me direct you to this pumpkin-food-yum Buzzfeed post where you will find my recipe for 5-Minute Smokey Pumpkin Hummus. ←←← or just click that.

Ekkk. I know. This is very bittersweet for me. So many mixed feelings.
Let’s talk about the salad first, mmmkay?
I kind of wanted to call this Spring Bikini Salad because that’s mah goal. Beach volleyball will be here before we know it. And even if we don’t actually play, we wanna look good in our short shorts sipping on beachtinis. Am I right?

Plan: Irish Cream Cupcakes with Pistachio Swiss Meringue for a pre-party house-party for Chicago’s celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. Impress new friends and make even newer friends with the deliciousness and beauty and classy-ness of said cupcakes.

I made this puppy on Saturday night. Yep, Saturday PM, in the eve, late-night style. I know a 20-something city-slicker should be out doing 20-something city-slicking things, but you guys — I’m really a mid-30s-year-old at heart. In my heart, I’m maybe 36 and I have two small children in bed and a husband watching some man movie on the couch. And my handsome husband is going to think I’m a kickass wife with a heart of gold for whipping up something, anything, with chocolate, coffee, and whiskey, even if it’s not done until midnight.

It’s comfort food time of year, people. And yet, I’m typing this up on a Monday morning with a large mug of herbal tea and a cold-pressed green juice that tastes like celery and cucumbers – two foods I’m not super fond of – but the point is, while my body really needs all the hydration and vitamin A it can get (120% in my green juice!), I’m just having all the feelings for soups and casseroles and banana bread right now.
You friends DO NOT want to see the failure that tried to be Slow-Cooker Banana Bread yesterday. It’s rubbery and just, BLEH. Slow cookers are magical for certain menu items, but bread is not one of them. Let’s leave it at that.

This is called killing two birds with one stone.
My blogging duties are caught right in between the Superbowl and Valentine’s Day and these brownies are PERFECT in general and also perfect for game watchin’ and for impressin’ the men in your life (or ladies or friends or luvahhhhs). They’re also PERFECT for the other 363 days of the year. Pinkie promise.

Get ready for the SUPERBOWWWWLLLLLL!
You have two weeks to decide what food you’re putting on your table, which means I have two weeks to actually make and test and eat all that food for you. I sacrifice for you friends, every day. Do you know how difficult that is?

You guysssss. I’ve been gone so long, I don’t even know where to start. I don’t even remember how to blog. Like… what do I write about?
I guess food is a pretty safe subject.
But do I want to be SAFE? Or do I want to live write on the edge?
