Nightshade Free Nachos

My family has a deep and abiding love of awful jokes. One time on a 5 hour road trip, we made tree puns for the whole drive. You’d think we’d have run out of material. You’d be wrong. Seriously, if we had to choose between life and never telling another groaner again, we’d be toast. So… Read More

Nightshade Free Backyard Burgers

Everyone knows, the staples of a barbecue are BURGERS. They’re always there, reliable, dependable, a simple ground meat patty slapped inside a delicious bun. Of course, most burgers are also usually slathered in nightshades, dripping in tomato-based barbecue sauce or topped with pools of ketchup and mustard (I see you paprika, you can run but you… Read More

Week 12

Happy Friday! I hope you had a wonderful week! I've been busy tweaking the site, and I'm sure you've noticed a lot of changes! The site has gotten a bit of a facelift between the change in venue, the logo and the theme, and overall I feel like it's a vast improvement. I'm also replacing some… Read More

Nightshade Free Chicken Fajitas

Time to come clean: this recipe is really more Mr. Nomato’s than it is mine. He’s been making this since before we met! It’s one of his specialties.

Week 5

Happy Friday! Okay, this week it's very obvious, so I'm just going to address it. Yes, I send my husband off to work in a hospital with pink, tea-cup shaped silicone muffin baking cups. This is for two reasons, 1) it's fancy (haha), and 2) they were the ONLY ones I could find! Seriously, Walmart, Michaels… Read More

Week 2

Welcome to Week 2 of my Lunch of the Week series! This week's lunch is positively packed with veggies! (Between you and me I might have gone a bit overboard this week, but it's the week before a Big Exam, so Mr. Nomato needs lots of brain food!) (more…) Read More

Lemon Pepper Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Happy Mardi Gras! The past two weeks have been party central here in Southern Louisiana. Starting in the morning, party buses blasting loud music and the cheers of beaded revellers blare past our house until well into the night. Everyone is excited for Carnival! We’ve eaten our first King Cake (delicious!), caught beads thrown from… Read More

Homemade Guacamole

I was probably in my mid-twenties before I really began to appreciate avocados. They had never really crossed my plate before, or if they had, they looked too weird for me to try them. It took finding them hiding in sushi, or turkey sandwiches, discovering the subtle, buttery texture that made everything else taste more… Read More
