While we all love to pretend to be as classy as Ina Garten, flitting around our kitchen making complex meals with pretentious ingredients, it’s also sometimes nice to toss out any f**ks you previously gave, pull out the bottom-shelf olive oil, and embrace our inner Sandra Lee.

port + cranberry pork chops
It’s that time of year: heart-shaped balloons, roses by the dozen, #relationshipgoals Instagram posts, and other Valentine’s Day traditions obligations.
healthy big mac salad
Temptation is everywhere. There are strategically placed McDonald’s whose golden arches taunt us on the way to and from the gym. Nothing validates double-fisting two Big Mac value meals like a half-assed workout.
chipotle turkey meatloaf
We love our classic turkey meatloaf recipe. It was actually one of our original posts three years ago, and since then, we have made it about 23,135 times. So, we finally decided to spice up an old favorite, literally.
cauliflower fried rice
All over Facebook people are posting their “New Year, New Me” bullshit, and we are over here on OpenTable trying to find reservations at an all you can eat Chinese buffet… “New Year, New Notches On Our Belt Loops.“
sesame ginger kale salad
We’ll be the first to admit we were a little late to the kale party. It was just hard to get us too worked up over an ingredient that isn’t traditionally breaded, fried and dipped in gravy and/or Ranch dressing.
wine poached salmon
Like Kimmy Gibbler popping in to offer some unsolicited comedic relief, summer is knocking on the door. (If you live in Dallas, like us, it’s here, and then we get what feels like one month of bulking weather, then it’s back again.)
nutty + fruity energy bars
We have taken (another) small sabbatical from posting, but now we are back (again) with a few new recipes.
weeknight protein bowls
Whether it is maintaining a perfect pedicure, finding just the right length of short shorts, or meticulously organizing a library of Golden Girls GIFs for texting, being gay can be SO much work. You add in social pressures to stay fit and it can get overwhelming. Diet is an important, but only small piece of this bedazzled puzzle.
