Hello, hello, old friends! I do apologize for my absence. I have just been running around nonstop getting settled and into a routine – getting my couch delivered to my new place was a full-time job in and of itself (seriously…good lord). But, I am sitting on it as I type, and it is glorious and charcoal…
Crunchy, gooey, spicy, and cheesy all in one pretty little wrap. And all of this happened by accident. I had spent a careful eight minutes at Whole Foods internally debating whether I should go for a block of smoked cheddar or classic sharp white. And then I got home.And saw a lovely little label on the…
I’m not a big red meat eater. I don’t do steak, or beef fajitas, or anything like that. But every once in a while, I will get the most insatiable craving for a burger. With bacon, cheddar, and a massive basket of fries. In Baton Rouge, I’ve found two incredible places to get these cravings…
I just had these for lunch. Like…I haven’t even done the dishes yet and I am already writing this post. They were that good. I’ve been on a taco kick lately – maybe it’s the hot weather, maybe it’s the fact that I live dangerously close to The Rum House (get the scallop taco and the chopped…
During most weekend evenings, I look back on my day and all I can remember is washing dishes. I feel like all I do is wash dishes. I wonder why. *sarcasm* I certainly know why that was the case today. I had so many extra zucchinis that were about to get sad on me, and…
I have yet to meet a single person who doesn’t like pizza. If you’re out there, show yourself. And provide me with an explanation as to why you…don’t like pizza. Glorious pizza, with a chewy-crispy crust and gooey cheese and tangy sauce and, yeah. Explanation. When people ask, “What’s the food you would pick if…
Some of my absolute favorite foods are of the Mexican and Tex-Mex varieties. So many different fresh flavors and textures and spices – and so versatile! Put anything between flour tortillas and smother it in cheese, and I am one happy camper. This morning I woke up craving pico de gallo. I knew it probably…
It has been really cold for a couple months now – so much so that I have been dreaming about shorts weather and ice cream sundaes and lunch outside. Quiche is one of those things I imagine would do wonderfully for an al fresco lunch. Luckily, it has been lovely and sunny these last few…
You heard that right – another savory recipe on Long Bake the Queen! And what a savory recipe – half an hour on a Sunday afternoon will save you precious time on hectic weekday mornings. I am an egg person. I love poached, scrambled, and soft-boiled eggs. I love fried eggs on my burgers, chopped eggs…
I gave my sugar jar a break today. It was completely empty by Friday night (it was an emotional moment for me), and although I replenished it yesterday, I took the hint. Time for some savory things to be featured on this little blog. The weather here has finally cooled down a little bit (I’d…
