I’m really behind on recipes…. and life… so I’m going to get straight to the chase. This recipe is pretty great. In my opinion it looks a little tacky and impressive all at once. Wrapping things in pork is super tasty but also makes me feel a bit like I’m ordering an appetizer at…
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 ……
This past weekend, I had four eggs left in my refrigerator which I elected to turn into pancetta cheddar scones…. and raspberry macarons. I made the macarons with my friend Lara in mind. At the time of making them, she was pregnant with twin baby boys. Seemed like a good occasion to make someone a…
