Food. I haz obsession. I pretty much think about food ALL DAY LONG and when I’m eating one meal I’m already thinking about the next. Fortunately, I have the awesomest genes on the planet because I manage to stay in good shape and health. But I often eat like crap. For example, my favorite food? [...]
Most women I know have dieted, are dieting, or plan to diet. I mean, I can’t be the only one that has to lose twenty-five pounds by this Saturday.
I have a bad habit of eating like a garbage disposal. It makes perfect sense, waste-wise. It’s a natural chain of events— a simple formula: whatIcookfortheboys – whattheydon’teat = easymealsforme
My husband. Great father. Smart. Funny (sorta). And a big geek. Or nerd. Whichever term you prefer.
Every Easter, I pull out this recipe. Not only am I a creature of habit, but it’s also a dish that everyone from my vegetarian sister to my manly man father will eat. A thick slice of this quiche is delicious warm or cold and it’s even better re-heated two nights later when you find [...]

It is officially the end of February? How many of your New Year’s resolutions have you kept? That’s what I thought. I’m willing to bet that at least one or two of you out there resolved to take some of your holiday weight off this year, and I hate to break it to you but [...]
Valentine’s Day is coming up and for those of you who have a Valentine, there’s only one breakfast that will guarantee you both will be taking a sick day. And by sick day, I mean an *ahem* “sick” day. This basis of recipe comes courtesy of a certain red and white checked cookbook. And, because I’m [...]
I am stunned. Stunned, I tell you. As a blogger, I often get pitches in my inbox and today I received this: Dear Shari, dust off your secret shoebox and dig through your drawers and find those unwanted gift cards! According to a recent article from The Wall Street Journal, $41 billion in gift cards [...]
There are one of two things upon which every human being on the planet can agree: okra is good or it’s gross. I’ll give you a second to soak up that brilliance. In Pakistan and India, okra is the dish for all the aiming low subcontinent cooks. Of COURSE people “aim low” in Asian countries. [...]
