It’s Tuesday morning and I’m really wishing that it was more like Saturday morning – or even really Friday morning. We currently have a nor’easter and so the winds outside are insane. If there is an upside to this, it’s raining so loudly that there is zero chance I’ll forget my umbrella. In a fit…
I’m a fan of making meatballs. While they aren’t exactly the “healthiest” dinner around, they are especially satisfying to eat standing in the kitchen after a long day of work. Sometimes I don’t even make pasta to go with them – and by sometimes… I mean most times. I came across this soup recipe this…
Back in the olden days when I used to live out of Hilton and commute to Philadelphia, I also used to eat of out chain restaurants practically every night. Suburban Pennsylvania wasn’t a super hub of haute cuisine at that point – although I’m sure it is now. After a few months there, my coworker…
You know when you find something super unique and special and it just brings a smile to your face? That was pretty much the entire weekend. I had set out with the goal of checking out a few new spots for a project that I’m working – and completely struck gold. Or at least my…
Oh wow. Things that will NEVER disappoint you? Slow braising meat. I remember when I made this short rib dish for Valentine’s Day last year, I was really pleased… and I feel the same for this gem. It’s seriously heavenly – especially on a frigid winter day. I was feeling a bit under the weather…
I guess technically it has been 13 months – not a sharp 12; but, I’ve been mentally writing this post for several months. The main way I’ve been reflecting about this is when two things happen. One? I put seaglass is the jar on my shelf. Two? Pretty much any time I go to Lowe’s.…
Today was a flipping home run. There was snow, there were cinnamon buns, there were good deeds and there was a grilled cheese for lunch. The long and the short of it is that I had friends coming over for breakfast and it had just snowed like a foot. The only solution was clearly to…
Today was a weekend snow day. The town is allegedly expected to get about 14 inches of snow which makes me feel a million times better about my level of activity. I’ve been sitting in nearly the same spot on the couch for about 5 hours at this point. But to be fair, I did…
Ugh. My baby brother is an unbelievable 18 years old now – and I just can’t handle it. I have no idea how this happened. All I know is that just recently he was tucked into a carseat in the back of the jeep eating butternut crunch donuts. For the life of me, I can’t…
It wouldn’t be a holiday if I didn’t make scones. I only wish I could tell you that I made these scones with discounted candy canes – but I can’t. I bought the candy canes full price from CVS about 3 weeks before Christmas and then they proceeded to sit on my stairs until yesterday. …
