The other day I was listening to a podcast called The Sporkful and on it was another podcaster named Brendan Francis Newnam. He and the co-created of the podcast The Dinner Party Download recently released a book called Brunch is Hell: How to Save the World by Throwing a Dinner Party. I have not read the book but on The Sporkful, Newnam outlined the bones of his anti-brunch argument and I found myself agreeing with him. Brunch can, indeed, be hell. The line-ups, the prices, the ill-advised 11 AM cocktails. Hanging with your friends shouldn’t test your patience, bankrupt you and leave you, as Newnam puts it, drunkenly “drooling on yourself” for the rest of the afternoon. But here I am with these Green Bean Frittata Breakfast Sandwiches, so it’s clear I didn’t agree with the man completely.
This Pesto Barley Salad looks really healthy, right? Balanced, vibrant, and potentially packed with a good stack of vitamins. It looks that way because it is! I know this is a shock, especially after 
When I started thinking about today’s Vietnamese Coffee Caramel Corn I had no idea it would be so easy to make. Too easy! This corn is so simple, it’s dangerous. Today’s recipe is one of those recipes I wish I could unlearn because I have zero self-control in the face of this corn. I’ve always been a bit of a popcorn fiend but this corn really kicked it up a notch. Oh, and the recipe makes a ton, so you can happily eat your way through a ginormous bag of it until your dentist disowns you…Or you can give it away as gifts. Actually, I’m going to say you *should* give some of it away as gifts. You will immediately regret it but you will be doing yourself a kindness.
