Nothing makes me happier than stir fry. For one, it’s sooo delicious. Two, it’s filling. Three? It’s ridiculously easy to make, and serves you for 2 dinners. Again, because I’m a weirdo and hate cooking meat in my tiny kitchen, this is listed without meat, but feel free to add […]

Veggie Fajitas Made Simple
I personally don’t like to prepare meat, and so I don’t really eat it much at home. Feel free to add grilled chicken or beef to your peppers and onions as you see fit. I apologize in advance, because I don’t measure spices. I shake them until I like my flavor.
For two servings, […]
Hello, Sailor… and Happy Fleet Week 2008!
Happy Fleet Week, New Yorkers!
I don’t know about you, but there’s something about a man in uniform that piques my interest. They’re so neat and poised (even if it’s because of extremely intense training… and boot camp), so strong and capable, so… hot. Even if a guy’s a six, you throw him in a […]
A Cheeseless Pizza That Still Delivers
After the grilled cheese post, I decided it’s only fair to advertise a favorite among my vegan buddies. A cheeseless pizza, topped with salad, is a perfect combination of appetizer and entree.
You’ll need:
½ cup mushrooms (if you don’t want to use fresh, use one can, drained)
¼ small eggplant, sliced
¼ small zucchini, sliced
¼ cup Black […]
A Quick and Easy Barbecue Side
So a guy friend is hosting a barbecue this weekend on the terrace of his apartment building. In Manhattan. It’s not quite the same for me as a traditional backyard gathering, but these are the things we sacrifice to live in the city.
At least there will still be some classics in the way […]
Slightly Irrational Fears: Spinsterhood
My future and I collided last night at the grocery store.
It wasn’t one of those gentle brushes with fate, like when you see someone who kind of resembles the person you think you might age into, someone who’s thinner and more fashionable than you’d imagined a fifty-year-old self to be. There was no pleasant […]
Big(?) Girls Don’t Cry, They Win America’s Next Top Model
I did my usual perusing of NYMag.com a few days ago to find America’s Next Top Model on the homepage, with a picture of some beautiful girl and the headline that “Miss Tyra threw a curveball” by selecting the first-ever plus-sized model to win. I haven’t seen the show in many a season, because […]
Grilled Cheese Is Genius
I apologize to the lactose intolerant, this may seem a bit insensitive. But I love me a grilled cheese.
Something about grilled cheese is so fantastically comforting. It’s crunchy, yet gooey. It’s not too hot, it provides the perfect amount of warmth. It can be dunked in tomato soup, or can stand […]
A Healthier Fry
I became a sweet potato convert when I was introduced to Weight Watchers. Sweet potatoes are one of those bang-for-your-buck foods. They’re incredibly filling, they’re not that bad for you if you don’t drown them in butter (or in my case, substitute real butter for nonfat spray butter), and they actually are pretty […]
A Twist on the Easy Fruit Salad
So, apparently ‘fruit salad’ on the east coast is literally just a bunch of chopped up fresh fruit, cohabitating in one bowl, possible even in a watermelon carved into a bowl shape. Sounds good to me, I love fresh fruit. I just hate buying it because if I don’t eat it all, I […]
