This week I’m posting a series that I call 3×3: Three posts each with three simple, but related recipes. Yesterday’s post was on summer cocktails and tomorrow’s post will be on salad dressings!

I’ve had a few requests over the last few weeks for some smoothie recipes because I let it slip that Betsy and I generally just have a big smoothie for breakfast everyday. Turns out our daily smoothie recipe is a mix between yellow, red, and indigo, but that’ll make more sense to you later. Smoothies [...]

Last summer I went to an epic wedding in Austin, TX. Just for a little taste of how epic the wedding was, I ended up in the emergency room at 3AM with a head wound. Had to get about a dozen staples and that was the night before the wedding. So epic. The thing I [...]

I was actually kind of shocked that “something spicy” won last week’s poll. I figured that something fried would win for sure given that it’s for the Super Bowl. Shows you what I know! My requirements for this dish were pretty simple. I wanted something that I could eat with my hands, that was super-spicy, [...]
