Author: Katie Krikorian

I am married to a handsome, wonderful man that embraces my particular shade of crazy. We have three beautiful, maniacal children and they are going to get me canonized one day. We own a house in Las Vegas' Ward five so that we can vote on issues that affect the people I serve. It is full of feral children, pets, half-completed household projects, broken crayons, goldfish crackers, toys, paperback novels, visiting family members, and love. I love every sticky, noisy, messy inch of this place and all the mischievous creatures that live here. I am a fiercely proud Nevadan. There is a very real problem with food insecurity in Las Vegas and my mission is to nourish as many of those in-need as I can. This is my city and these are my people.l

The Downtown Dozen

Jail was a very educational and inspirational experience. I’m going to tell you all about it but first can I just share something with you? This is my mugshot. I know what you’re thinking. What kind of lunatic puts her mugshot on the internet? Well, this lunatic made it her profile picture on Facebook. It’s … Continue reading The Downtown Dozen →

The War on the Poor

As predicted I was arrested on January 20th, 2020 while protesting.  It was a very educational experience and it confirmed a lot of my fears about these unjust ordinances.  I have every intention of telling you about the protests, the night in jail and the chaos since in the next few weeks. I'm going to … Continue reading The War on the Poor →

Vegetable Scrap Broth

This recipe is a staple in my kitchen.  I use it in nearly all of my vegetarian recipes to add flavor and calories but it can be used as a substitute for broth in any recipe. I prefer making broth in a slow cooker because it doesn't require much attention.  I use a 4 quart … Continue reading Vegetable Scrap Broth →

Caponata

Caponata is to Sicily and Italy what chili is to the Midwest.  Everyone has a recipe but no two recipes are the same.  There are a few generally accepted ingredients but otherwise anything goes.  Much like chili, it is served as a main dish or on top of another foods.  The way it's prepared; roasted, … Continue reading Caponata →

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Oatmeal raisin cookies have a bad reputation.  Sure, they aren't their glamorous cousin, chocolate chip cookies but they are delicious and a little healthier.  I also love making oatmeal raisin cookies because the dough doesn't come pre-mixed from Pillsbury.  When you bite into an oatmeal cookie, you know that it was homemade. These cookies are … Continue reading Oatmeal Raisin Cookies →
