Tomato Pie

August 16, 2018 by funnyloveblog Leave a Comment

Guys. 

I love dubbing things MY NEW FAVORITE RECIPE because everything that I love goes through a pretty good phase of “let’s have this once a week,” but this is reeeeeally my new favorite recipe. It is also incredibly high maintenance and full of fat and carbs, two things that are very near and dear to my heart. 

But, before you x-out, trust me when I say that even though there are a lot of steps to this recipe they are all super simple and the results are a thousand percent worth it. I found this recipe while on vacation with Jay’s family back in June, when we were tag-teaming who was going to stay inside during naps on a boat day. I was making dinner that night and had a little extra time, so when I found this recipe I was all HECK YES LET ME AT HER. The recipe comes from Saveur and I have made it a few times with a tiny tweak here and there, but mostly I follow the recipe exactly as it’s written. 

The beauty of the recipe is that it includes a whole onion, caramelized for over an hour, roasted AND fresh tomatoes, and a great balance of salt + sugar to bring out the most delicious tomato flavors. There is mayo in the dish, but just enough to hold the cheese mixture together, so if you hate mayo don’t worry – it serves a purpose but doesn’t add any flavor. The Saveur recipe includes instructions on making pie crust which I firmly ignored in favor of a local all-butter crust made at my favorite grocery store IN A TIN FOIL PAN. I do not care that this doesn’t make for the best presentation, it is delicious and saves on dishes so we’re going for it. …

Southern Sugar Snap Pea Salad

July 24, 2018 by funnyloveblog Leave a Comment

Southern = it has bacon. 

Here’s our new favorite summer side dish! We are all about sugar snap peas, and this time of year when they’re actually GOOD and we have a chance of finding them locally we have them around all the time. We eat a lot of raw veggies as snacks with hummus or ranch, but turning them into quick side dishes to go with grilled meat or to take to a potluck is another favorite thing to do with peas especially. There are tons of variations of this salad, and I made mine with a combination of classic Southern flavors (bacon, mayo) with some extra brightening flavors from lemon juice and fresh herbs. The combination of creamy/salty with herby freshness is SO good, and of course it goes without saying that while not a perfect superfood, this is a better choice than, say, the exact same salad base with potatoes or pasta instead of a raw veg. 

Raw veggies balance bacon, is my aesthetic.

What Not to Do While Dating

May 23, 2014 by funnyloveblog Leave a Comment

Awhile ago when we were in NYC, I spent time chatting with a woman named Terri who promotes our tournament to fancy people in LA.  That’s literally all I know about what she does.  

I tell you that to tell you this:  Terri had some sort of misconception that I was this southern belle and THAT was why I’d snagged a husband before I was 30.  This was a legit conversation we had, and I think maybe it was because my hair was really big that day?  And I was wearing a dress, makeup, and heels all at once?  This is what I looked like selling CDs about 5 minutes into this conversation.  Mom face alert!

I tell you THAT to tell you THIS:  I am not a southern belle, and I did not snag a husband.  I basically dragged him to the altar kicking and screaming after a slew of silly dating mishaps on my part.  The idea that I’ve tricked anyone into thinking that I’m eloquent is just absurd.  To be fair, Jay once said in a fit of madness that he was really glad that I get ready for adult milestones before he does because it gives him the push he needs to move forward.  …

Yummy Side Dish – Squash Casserole

March 19, 2012 by funnyloveblog 4 Comments

This is not healthy.

I’m sorry.

(Hi, Sorry)

This is, however, delicious, easy, and great to make ahead of the meal you plan to serve it with.

So, there’s that.

I love Southern food, which works well since I live in South Carolina.  Meat – n – three  restaurants are especially wonderful…meat options and side dishes put together to make one salty, wonderful, comforting meal.

Squash casserole is one of my favorite Southern sides!
