It feels a bit like a stretch to call this a chili honestly – but it is quite good. It is also wildly easy and that is why I’ll probably make this again and again. We were expecting some snow earlier this week. I found this recipe on SkinnyTaste and was drawn to the fact…
File this under one of the best and easiest cookies on planet earth. The first time I made them I doubled the batch and was very happy that I did. I found the recipe on the New York Times Christmas cookie roundup. Of the 24 or so listed there were many that seemed very enticing…. but…
What a weird year. I had “Christmas Card” on my list for literally months. I normally start gathering pictures in early November, sent to the printer by Thanksgiving and cards in the mail shortly after that. I’m so eager to get them in the mail that I put regular stamps on the cards instead of…
Every January my body feels a sudden urge to declutter every aspect of my house. I try to save it for the coldest, grossest winter days but it’s hard. The urge to purge is strong. Last January, Ashley from The Gold Hive got the internet started on decluttering our houses with a wonderful checklist. I…
I’m in this serious nesting phase right now where I want to make aspects of my house feel more like a cohesive design. After over a year of living here, I finally bought window treatments.

It’s really been a year without much blogging. I can’t believe that it’s been literally months since I documented something that I had cooked – and I don’t like that. In part because some of these things have been really tasty! and it’s so much easier to share a recipe that I’ve got on my…
Such a weird year that I did not do a single garden update post…. or even an intro post. fighting off the rabbits Right amount of tomatoes Herbs did really well Beans feel a little bit like a waste since I only ever get one crop in – but I do love them. Skip the…
As previously documented, I’ve grown quite a fondness for chocolate chip cookies… and specifically having them at the ready in the freezer. I’m currently on my second batch of these tahini cookies and see many more in my future. I found these by pretty much just looking for unique chocolate chip cookies. There is a…
