We go through at least one rotisserie chicken every week. It makes for a quick protein with some veggie sides when you have 30 minutes to get dinner ready and a toddler pulling at your leg. I use it in all kinds of bakes like this quinoa bake or these white enchiladasĀ or Andrew’s favorite, this jambalaya. And the easiest thing to make with leftover chicken is roasted chicken stock, of…
Whenever I am looking for a delicious dish, I always turn to Ina. Seriously, every single dish that I have tried of hers is always pretty amazing. I am so confident in the deliciousness of her food that I have actually made Ina recipes that I have never even tried before and served them to company. Isn’t that the number one rule for entertaining: NEVERĀ serve something that you have not…
You should probably make this now. Why? Because it is delicious, obviously. Plus, it pleases both the man and the woman. It is healthy, but it tastes decadent. It is packed with all the flavors of chili then tossed with quinoa and baked with a little bit of cheese. The perfect comfort food. Yes, I went there. And if that wasn’t convincing enough, Andrew the H declared (and this is…
It has been a crazy week over here at Plum Pie. Work has been complete insanity and Miss G’s nap/sleep schedule has been a little off with daylight savings time. I mean, I can hardly complain but this mama really needs that extra 30 minutes to an hour of extra sleep in the am. So, for the past few days, I have been not been running at full capacity. Sleep…
Well, it’s a miracle that I haven’t had a heat stroke yet. It is still at least 105Ā°F outside every. single. day. I mean it’s only been two months of torture. But I promise I won’t groan about the weather today. Besides, I am hopping on a plane to Knoxville, Tennessee, where it is a balmy 89Ā°F. I bet the grass is green there, the bushes full, and the flowers…
Greetings from Texas! I know, it has been ages. I am sure many of you are wondering if I just forgot about Plum Pie completely in a heat-induced memory coma.Ā Fear not, I could never forget! But I am just now beginning to feel like a normal person again after the move. The good news is that Andrew the H, Henry the dog, and I are finally moved in and semi-settled…
Well, well, weeelll. LOOK who turned one year old this weekend?! No, not Henry the dog. Plum Pie the blog, that’s who!Ā I have to say, even though this little blog has a ways to go, it sure has come a long way since the beginning days. And if I am being completely honest here, I did have a “test” blog on blogspot for a few months before I moved to…
Happy Memorial Day! Andrew the H, Henry, and I packed our bags and headed to the Bluff City this weekend to check out Ol’ Man River and see my little sister graduate from medical school. It’s been a long four years, but the day has finally arrived. She can now officially add those two capital letters to the end of her nameāM.D. Congratulations Jess! And the Mississippi has gone down…
