In the spirit of getting settled in my apartment, I made great progress this weekend. I planted some flowers on my fire escape, rearranged some furniture, and got rid of a few more boxes. I have increasingly high hopes for my green thumb this year. I bought this little watering system for $7 and it…
It’s Memorial Day weekend… so I’m busy. Today I traipsed around the yard, cut the lawn, took a run, made some pasta salad… and this triple berry breakfast bread. There isn’t really that much to say about this bread … except that you shouldn’t think of it like a cinnamon bun. Because you put an…
I’m slowly trying to get back to a place where I cook more. While I am slowly feeling more settled in my apartment, there are two thing that always make a place feel like home. Cooking … and stuff on the walls. All of my walls are currently empty. But the quinoa cakes help. I…
Admittedly, I was making slow progress on unpacking my apartment. Slow by steady progress. Each trash day I tried to make sure I was tossing 2 empty packing boxes. But the entire time, my kitchen looked like all the cabinets threw up dishes. It was terrible. So, for about a week and a half I’ve…
Sometimes I make better decisions than others. But, if the most questionable decision I made this weekend was attempting beef bourginon at 8 pm on a Sunday … then my decisions were a million times more responsible than the passed out drunks on the street this weekend. Holidays like St. Patrick’s Day were never really…
A couple of months ago I stumbled upon a recipe for strawberry loaf and was immediately intrigued. It just kind of looked “happy”. You could see the bright red strawberries peeking out from the loaf. I saw it and just rather immediately wanted to make it … and then never got around to buying strawberries.…
I honestly felt like I had already written this up to be honest… but it deserves another post. Last weekend amidst prepping for a couple days in LA, I pumped two loaves of homemade bread out of my kitchen. One was more of a wheat loaf, the other just plain ole white. I had wanted…
I’ve documented my love of meatballs several times probably. I realized a few weeks back that I had completely cleaned out to my freezer stash of meatballs. It may seem like a weird dinner, but sometimes just a few meatballs is perfect are a long day with a grumbling stomach at the ready. Instead of…
I believe sausage and kale is one of the best combinations out there. It’s like peanut butter and chocolate as far as I’m concerned. That being said, the combination is rather definitely indicative of Fall and Winter dining. I’m not sure how you make this combo into a summer meal … so perhaps we should…
Sometimes I have a really hard time finding something to make for Sunday dinner. Yesterday was one of those days, I had visions of beef slow cooking on the oven while I watched the Olympics … but I wasn’t really finding anything that fit my fancy. I thought about switching to fish… but was equally…
