I’ve been making the same chili recipe since January 2007. So, it seems appropriate that I try something new. Although I’ve modified the recipe to make it my own, it originally belonged to my boyfriend’s mom at the time. Now, I needed my own. And, I think I have it. I’m calling it “Chili 2013”.…
I’m potentially turning into a baby. I used to be able to run outside in the cold weather but since I’ve turned 30, I can’t handle the idea of being chilled to the bone. Old age? Laziness? I took this picture on a morning run this week and I’d think it captures the essence of…
Oh guys. I love tearing recipes out of magazines. It brings me such a sense of satisfaction. I like to refer to it as my “weekend work”. This recipe came from one of those magazines this past Sunday. I had my little sister and a friend over for Sunday morning chit chat and we finished…
Guys, remember how when I wrote about the Sugar Buns I said what I liked about breakfast? Meat + Carbs + Coffee. Well, you can get 2 out of 3 in this scone recipe … and it will knock your socks off. I’m not even kidding. I had thought about making these last week pre-sugar…
I think breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. It’s not really because of the food – it’s more because of the routine and comfort that comes from breakfast. To me, a good breakfast isn’t complicated. It’s hot coffee, some bacon, and some carbs. No fuss. I think when I was in high school,…
My pumpkin is the smallest one. The one with a cat face on it. Eleanor the pumpkin perhaps? I don’t think I’ve ever carved a pumpkin before – or at least not that I can recall. My crazy adorable friends, Chris and Lauren, included me in their annual pumpkin carving competition in the burbs. I…
Guys, this dish was so good that I ate it in less than 5 minutes. If I had cooked for more than one, I would have gone back for seconds. I have zero self-control so I think it is a mere miracle that I didn’t just make more of the potato and onion part. Amazing.…
I originally had plans to make a seared cod tonight for dinner… and I’m pretty sure that’s the opposite of a Mexican chicken soup. I even procured all of the ingredients for both at Whole Foods this afternoon. But, this afternoon slipped away from me … and some how it seemed much more rational to…
People often ask me what kind of a cook I am? I don’t think they are asking if I’m bossy in the kitchen. They are more often asking me to define the general type of “cuisine” I conjure up and then subsequently push on guests and frequently give away. I’m rather hesitant to define myself…
I’m a Summer baby through and through. I like the long days filled with sun and warmth. I like the activities that come with summer. Reading in the sun, cooking on the grill, bike rides for fun, bike rides to air dry from swimming, bike ride with cocktails. But there is something about the transition…
