Disclaimer: This soup tastes better than it looks. I promise. But, I guess it’s soup season for reals. It’s December – so that makes sense. As I write this posting, it is actually snowing outside and I think that’s perfect. I was on a major soup binge last year – and haven’t quite hit my…
I am most certainly a person who is rejuvenated by nature – never by the city. I don’t need to run to feel at peace, a simple walk will suffice. And, I did that nearly every day of this longer Thanksgiving break… and I loved it. I was talking to my sister last week about…
This Thanksgiving was different than the past several ones. Normally, we buy a prepared meal from a local restaurant and eat it in the comfort of our own home. We’ve been doing it like this for as long as I can really remember post getting my driver’s license… since I was often the one sent…
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.…
