This is the first post on my personal domain! I have no clue what I’m doing (as you can probably see from the current layout quirks). Naive me — I was shocked to find out that it’s really difficult to run your own site. “They” recommend that I hire someone to do all of this for me, but it’s very expensive. And now I know why. But hopefully, you’ll see this site becoming more personalized each time you visit.

And so, here’s a recipe and a post simply so I can take a break from my tech-heavy day. 🙂

Grilled Buffalo Chicken Salad

Grilled Buffalo Chicken Salad | theeverykitchen.com
I’ve been on a weeklong hiatus because I went to New York and became a Godmomma! What I’ve decided: When you have an infant, every task becomes a superhuman feat. I couldn’t pour syrup on my waffles Sunday morning. Actually, I couldn’t even get the waffle on my plate. Babies are definitely a two-handed job. Big props to all the cooking and/or blogging mommas out there with babes and tots on their hands!

My vacation was full of celebratory food and drink — that’s how my family does it. Then yesterday, the BBF and I went for a nice evening to celebrate our 13  months together (we missed month 12!),  which included more celebratory food and drink. Hence, the salad for dinner this evening.

Eggs Baked in Avocado

Eggs Baked Avocado at www.mybottomlessboyfriend.com
I eat eggs for breakfast five or six times a week. Usually Egg Beaters, to be specific, piled on piece of whole wheat bread with a thin layer of sugar-free jam. I like to start my day with a substantial, healthy breakfast, high in protein and low in sugar. Aside from eggs, there aren’t a whole lot of other choices. Please let me know if there’s a huge/obvious food group out there that I’m not thinking of!

But sometimes the monotony gets to me. Plus, I LOVE a good, real egg with a runny yolk. Enter, this super-quick, make-this-even-if-you-hit-snooze-too-many-times, breakfast recipe. The protein still comes from eggs, but it’s different enough from my usual routine that I don’t feel fried. (Get it? I know… I don’t have a future in stand-up.)

Mom’s Jalapeño Poppers

Mom's Jalapeno Poppers at www.mybottomlessboyfriend.com
My mom makes awesome jalapeño “poppers” in the summer with her homegrown jals. They aren’t breaded and deep-fried like the kind out of the box (although, who doesn’t like those?) — they’re oven-baked. Even so, they are far from being healthy. And I can never, EVER stop at just one. Or two. And rarely can I stop at three.

On the way to family dinner at my parent’s house last weekend, the BBF says, “I hope your mom makes those jalapeños!” And in that moment, I saw an opportunity to remind him just how great I am.

Grilled Vanilla Bean Mascarpone Peaches with Salted Bourbon Caramel

by Leave a Comment

Summer Peach Week is turning into summer peach weekS. My parents live close by and have peach trees. Since the fruit ripens at different times, it’s been a constant influx of fresh, homegrown peaches for the past several weeks.

I’ve had many friends send me recipes and this one looked quick, easy and unique. Everyone is making peach cobblers and crisps, tarts and pies — this recipe really focuses on the whole peach while the toppings are (AWESOME, but) secondary to the grilled fruit flavor.
