So – not much. These weekly posts were easier to write when work was actually happening and it was not freezing cold. Also, I’ve been buried in mood boards so all my mental writing energy is on faucets. I know this sounds totally bananas but it hit me yesterday that I literally had to buy…
My dad loves french onion soup. He’s absolutely an onion guy. I am absolutely not an onion girl. I think it combines two of his favorite things: onions and cheese. So when I was in the kitchen and making this soup for my grandfather… and he asked me if I was making french onion soup….…
I’m on day two of “snowstorm diet” which pretty much means “eat whatever I want” kind of but cook all the time. For lunch I had zucchini latkes over arugula. For dinner, we had prosciutto pizza with an arugula feta salad and tumeric sweet potatoes. This meal can also be called “the time I got…
This recipe can be filed under “almost great, but absolutely good enough”. I’m sure that isn’t super convincing for others to try it – but I still think you should. I’ve literally been eating the leftovers for three days and I’m not upset. I found this recipe by trolling Food52 for recipes that called out…
Every now and then I’ll make a meal that is a complete knockout. THIS IS THAT MEAL. I had a feeling it was going to be good when I smelled the meatball mix. Then when the meatballs came out of the oven and I dipped one in the sauce? Home run. I was sitting on…
We are in the midst of a big run of freezing cold days. The weather man said that it was going to be the coldest stretch in 100 years or something like that. So it’s really cold. Despite the temperature, I took a few longer walks yesterday. The first one was at Bouve Conservation in…
It is probably a bit odd but I gave this soup as a Christmas gift to my grandfather. A gift should be something that you thoughtfully picked out just for that person. It should be influenced by your relationship …. and that’s how we get soup as a Christmas gift. My grandfather is incredibly strict…
Christmas morning is very much about traditions. For as long as I can remember we’ve spent it at my Aunt’s house. There are a few factors that never change: we are always late because of church and the menu. It would be weird if we didn’t have blueberry french toast and egg sausage casserole. Even…
Well, I caved and merged two weeks. In my defense, they were light weeks so it didn’t feel like I was missing the opportunity to share a million pictures or updates about pocket doors. I could just summarize week 11 by saying – too cold. I ended up being home from work two days this…
We have a cookie contest this coming week at work and despite all my prior cooking efforts, I’ve never been in a contest before. I wasn’t sure where I stood on the contest, was I going to take it seriously and really bring my A game? or keep it casual and do the bare minimum?…
