I’m currently sitting in a 4 poster bed, drinking a glass of wine courtesy of the B&B… and eating yogurt covered raisins. I’m not mad – but I am tired. It wasn’t exactly a short journey to get to this point. I drove for over 4 hours, visited 2 airports, flew for 8 hours, and…
I’ve been slowly making more progress in my kitchen recently… and have stock piled a few recipes that I need to write up. This is one of them…. and it’s an easy one. There is something about butternut squash soup that just screams Fall. I fully intended on picking up the squash for bargain prices…
One of my favorite things to do is Swiffer the floors … and cook in my kitchen. Today was super productive… and not all at once. I cleaned all my floors and bathrooms. I have 1.5. It’s luxurious. I cleaned the tub and I hung up all the coats I’ve worn in the last…
I’ve never been one to hide my love of snacks – especially ones that include fake cheese. For my birthday this year, my team gave me a giant box of Goldfish… so my love and dedication to snacking is clearly well documented. But recently I’ve been trying to eat my “pivot table” feelings less… and…
Despite my general enthusiasm for cooking and sharing, I tend to avoid cooking for coworkers. By avoid, I mean I think I can honestly say I’ve never done it. I’ve been a working professional since 2005 and I’ve never purposely made anything and left it on the corner of my desk. Ever. Until this week……
During the heart of tomato season last year, I experimented with a lot of different options. Put them in a Tomato Corn Galette, served them under some roasted pesto crusted cod, in a tomato pancetta quiche, as an easy simple summer sauce, or just plain ole roasted on some naan “pizza”. It was pretty great to push myself a little to try…
Again this summer has been light on the writing. It’s not that I haven’t had things to write about, I just have been trying to not sit in front of the computer. Also … life has been full. But what I want to document that I’m 31 and have poison ivy. And, that I’ve had…
This is officially the longest I’ve gone without writing. It sounds very obnoxious to say that I was busy, but I was. And still am. I’ve actually recently decided to avoid the word “busy” because it feels a little obnoxious to describe things like that at times. So, I’ll just say that life has been…
One of the best things about good weather is quick summer salads …. that consist of less lettuce and more of pasta and everything else that is fresh. I’ve been doing a lot of cold pasta salads recently and really loving the results. To be clear, I am pretty much winging it every time ……
I’m not really a perfume person, but if there is one that consists of peonies and salt water I would buy it. My parents have had these peonies for 20+ years. I used to remember coming home from school and finding neighborhood ladies snipping blooms off when they thought nobody would catch them. Silly ladies.…
