Super Model Project: French Onion Soup with Croissant Croutons

A Super Model French Onion soup is Super interesting…there’s a soy sauce element not found in the soup a l’ognion that I’m having in Switzerland. This one has that umami element coupled with the brilliant invention of self-toasting croutons. Tell me this isn’t the perfect meal for the first snow day in a year and…

Key Lime Fine

This might be the strangest summer on record. Unless it was on a holiday weekend, I didn’t hit a single moment at any pool. There were no key lime pies. There were no melony, buratta-y, fresh tomato-y salads. I don’t have an inkling of what the song of the summer is. And bathing suit body?…

Super Model Project: Short Rib Curry

Happy Thanksgiving, lovely readers! Sick of turkey and potatoes? Need something different from those bland, fall flavors of weeks past? Thai Short Ribs aren’t pretty, but they are a welcome change to words like butternut and potato.  If you have some time this weekend – which you should, it’s a long one. Slow cook these…

Constant Cravings

Just a friendly reminder that Chrissy’s new cookbook is out next week. Did I already buy one? Of course. Should you? Of course? Get ready for a bevvy of new Supermodel-icious cooking experiments. I assume, I’ll end looking just like her with a husband who adores me. Stay tuned.

Dessert Verdict: Not Guilty!

Deep into my health kick, I’ve found the most wonderfully simple dessert recipe… and just in time for Valentine’s Day! Finally, a dessert with the caloric verdict:  Not Guilty! This seriously takes five minutes to make and seems and tastes super impressive. Berry Frozen Yogurt 4 c. frozen berries (I have tried all strawberries, but…

French Me

Remember that time I had a blog… I just did too! Hi, guys! It’s been a crazy month! Moving in with the chap and the beast, traveling to the MIA, dealing with office renovations, and of course Bastille Day! That’s right, Bastille Day is a favourite holiday, but let’s face it, all holidays are favourite…

Slutty Brownies

The problem with sluts is that they’re cheap and easy. They’re by nature also full of lots of things…. Just like these brownies! I’m not one for packaged baked goods since I love to bake, but I ran into this little problem travelling back from Miami this weekend. Since we missed our flight and were…

Eggs > Toads

Not sure why the toad of toad in the hole is called a toad so I’ll call my new dish what it is…egg in a pit. It’s not eloquent, but it’s not a lie like that lying toad in his fabricated hole. Come to think of it, do toads even hang out in holes? Maybe…

This Little Piggy…

Not long ago, the Chap fixed me the most incredible welcome-home-from-your-family shenanigans dinner. While I love to cook, the best part about this particular meal was the not cooking. Well, the best part after eating it anyways. A long weekend of family is always…long…but I got to hang out with the he nephew who decided…

Lady and the Tramp

Lady (Moi). And the Tramp (The Beast). And also the Chap… were all itching for a carb fix we’d better make some tagliatelle from scratch. So we followed Marc Vetri’s recipe. I found this true gem in the email foodie newsletter, Tasting Table. I highly recommend both the recipe and subscribing to that newsletter if you…
