I recently did a little kitchen cabinet inventory and discovered that I may have been a little jam-crazy last summer. I still have five jars of tomato jam, nine (nine!) jars of jalapeno jelly, a few ...
My love for chickpeas is well documented on this site, but I dont know if Ive ever written about just plain chickpeas for dinner. It might sound a little crazy, but we like it a lot. Its kind of like...

Well, folks, were one month in to my personal challenge of 30 things to get done by the time Im 30. Heres what Ive done so far! That is to say, not much. Culinary Projects: Nope, not a one. Professio...
I resolved to cook and eat more fish this year, and when Adam realized that included sardines he was pretty excited. The guy can bring a can of sardines and some crackers to work and happily call it ...
Are you chilly? It is winter, after all, and that makes it soup season. Lets get cozy. First, slice 5 pounds of onions. Thin, but not too thin; youre going to cook them for quite some time. Your eyes...
Last week at work we got to try raclette in the traditional way, heated up and scraped onto some potatoes, so it seemed an obvious choice to top this fancied up tater. Instead of broccoli and cheddar...
Today is my birthday. I am 29 years old. For the last month I have been realizing that there is a list of things I’ve been meaning to get done and it seemed like a good idea to write them down. So he...
I dont know if you guys have heard, but theres kind of a big game on this weekend. Heh. Are you hosting people or going to a friends house to watch the Superbowl? Ive been looking for an excuse to m...
First things first: 1. this steak is not made of cow. 2. Also, I made this a month ago. The sorrel that I used in this recipe is no longer hanging on against the oncoming winter. Winter has come, and...
Fish with pears? Fish with pears. But more on that in a second - first, lets recap New Years Day Epic Brunch 2012. Citrus salad, to make you feel virtuous. I put it on the meat table (bacon, corned b...

Saturdays at work are crazy busy this time of year. Usually theres someone representing one of our favorite producers tasting wine or ice cream or something delicious, and this week was no exception....
All right, friends. This is it. The last day of NaBloPoMo. AND I FREAKING DID IT. I admit there were some filler posts (sorry, but my nephew is really cute and so are dolphins) but we learned things ...
I get quite a few food magazines, and even though sometimes its kind of overwhelming I really do try to cook out of each of them at least once every month. Occasionally Adam will pick up a Fine Cooki...
Well here it is, folks. The end of the Thanksgiving leftovers. I know I just told you not to mess with them, but then this idea popped into my head and I just had to use the last bits of turkey to ma...
An underutilized and underappreciated combination, if you ask me. PS, Mom, can you send me your cranberry bread recipe?
I have mentioned before that Adam is in charge of weekend breakfasts at our house (but in case you didnt catch it before: pancakes! Adams have no sugar, so they dont fight with the maple syrup. Yum)....
You guys know how much I like to turn leftovers into something else, but Thanksgiving leftovers dont get messed with, just eaten.
Fun thing #1: look at this cute cat hiding in the pillows! Hello, Spike. Spike isnt allowed in the house during dinner because he will climb up on the counter and nom on the turkey carcass. Sorry, Sp...
Hi, friends! Were heading up to Maine in about five minutes to spend the holiday with my parents, but I wanted to check in and say Happy Thanksgiving to all of you, whether you celebrate with a Turke...
I know Thanksgiving is in two days* but I dont feel like talking about stuffing or sweet potatoes; Ive been doing plenty of that at work. So instead... Do you know about pressing tofu? Its an awesome...
You guys, NaBloPoMo is finally getting to me. Im afraid I dont have anything exciting to say tonight.
