Last weekend at my brother-in-law’s graduation party, I had several people ask me if I missed drinking alcohol. Now, I’m not a lush but I am the kinda girl who will happily drink a signat...
Like many of you, I utilize the web for all sorts of recipe inspirations–I have dozens of blogs in my reader, I frequent foodie sites like Foodgawker, Tastespotting and Knapkins, I reference Fo...
This month’s What’s Baking theme was “Bake with Summer Produce” and I wasn’t even the one who thought it up! Seriously, this theme that is near and dear to my heart is f...
When I was a kid, Jello seemed to be EVERYWHERE. I’d get cups of Jello in my lunch box, Jello Jigglers were featured at every school picnic and birthday parties, my grandma would make Jello sal...
My group of friends is experiencing a bit of a baby boom (maybe because this is the year we all turn 30?). Including our little one, 6 babies will be born within our close circles of high school and ...
Greg may refuse to go to the market with me ever again. This was a week of transformation at our farmers market; where last week’s offerings were mostly lettuces, bedding plants and the occasio...
I had never really been exposed to any kind of Indian cuisine until I worked in a very international environment and found myself cubemates with an Indian woman in a department that was fond of havin...
Here’s the thing about me and coleslaw: I kind of hate it. Look, I’ll eat it if you tell me it’s your great aunt’s recipe or your grandmother made it but if it doesn’t i...
Well, I skipped over Week 2 because all we bought was some romaine lettuce and I didn’t think that would make for a very captivating post–there’s only so much you can say about one ...
I think strawberries are the quintessential local, seasonal food. Some people would argue that tomatoes better represent the kind of quality you can only get locally but I think the difference betwee...
To anyone who lives or has lived in a more rural area, these cookies should look somewhat familiar. Versions of this recipe can be found on bake sales, at church socials, holiday gatherings and those...
I have to confess that just about a week ago, Greg and I had the pleasure of dining at the fine eating establishment that is Applebee’s. That’s right, we were eatin’ good in the nei...
In my mind, there is no better way to eat well and still save money than to cook a whole chicken. You can get whole roasters at the grocery store for $10-$12 or get a free-range organic bird from you...
This salad may seem harmless–sweet and charming, in fact. But the truth is, this salad has caused some in-fighting in our family in the past. See, this salad approximates the salad we served at...
As I said before, for many reasons, Greg and I reached the tough decision not to continue our stake in a CSA this season. Our substitute will be weekly trips to our county farmers’ market as we...
I know you’ve seen them and you’ve probably bought them once or twice–those pillowy sugar cookies with technicolor frosting sold in the plastic clamshells in the bakery section of t...
Oh readers, it’s been far, far too long since I last posted. A lot has been going on here but I’m still thinking about you! I have have lots of recipes to share with you now that I’...
I’m a fan of the show Next Food Network Star–it makes me wonder if I could ever do something like that and then smacks me back into the reality that, no, I probably couldn’t. Last ...
One of the greatest American cities I’ve ever had the pleasure to visit is Nashville, Tennessee. The whole place is just alive with food, markets, football, arts and, of course, music. The ho...
Our What’s Baking theme this month is to bake for St. Patty’s Day which, I have to admit, was kinda tricky for me. See, as a 30-year-old without much Irish in her roots, I’m just no...
After getting to work 2 hours early and working through lunch, I was leaving work 2 hours late when I received a text from Greg asking if I needed anything at the grocery store. I replied “Din...
Full disclosure, this was not at all the recipe I intended to make. I’ve been on the hunt for a recipe for a breakfast pastry of a very certain variety and I thought this one would be a close ...
Yesterday was the kind of day where you bundle up to take the dog for a walk, drop some mail in the box or set our your recycling for pick up and realize it’s WAY nicer out than you expected. ...
One of my favorite cakes to make for a special birthday involves a cheesecake layer between two cake layers then dripping the whole thing in chocolate ganache. For a friend’s October birthday,...
In the name of saving money, I bought a “value-sized” vat of granola at the warehouse store. When staring at multiple pounds of name-brand granola for a reasonable price with a coupon fo...
It’s been a rough week. I haven’t felt well, I’m working long hours and I had to deal with a messy break up–with our CSA. I’m still a huge proponent of CSAs and think t...
In case you haven’t seen the zillions of commercials telling you to buy flowers and candy or taken a stroll through a card aisle that has been swathed in pink or red, Valentine’s Day is u...
When I was in middle school, I despised Valentine’s Day with the fire of a thousand Black Hole Suns (you like the grunge reference, teenagers of the 90′s??). The whole day was the...
Or, alternatively titled, “Oh shit, I let the expensive artisan bread get kinda hard and stale. Now what?” Because that’s exactly how this meal came to be. I bought a nice loaf of...
I love love love runny eggs and they have been BIG on the food scene in the last few years. Runny eggs on burgers, salads, pasta dishes, you name it. Sometimes I thin foods are suited to having dri...
