Last week I was really craving some good french fries. In the past when I’ve tried to make them at home, my oven fries have either come out sad and floppy or burnt to a crisp. I was determined this time to make a batch of fries that didn’t suck. The keys to success turned out to be high heat, enough (but not too much) oil, and the perfect cut.…
While in Dallas last weekend, I not only got to get my bliss on, but I also had some good hang out time with my sister. As she was driving me to the airport yesterday, I realized we had failed to take a single photo together. So I pulled out my iPhone and attempted to get a good shot.

The very first time I posted about brussels sprouts, they were still considered a “hated” vegetable. Every time I mentioned them, noses would turn up in a wrinkle and for good reason. The “haters” had only ever had their brussels sprouts over-cooked and steamed to death. I didn’t blame them for turning up their noses. But then I challenged them to try again. Roasted this time, with crunchy brown bits…
