Not much time for a thoughtful post today. The holidays are about spending time with family, not blogging (in my book). But alas, I can’t give up on a challenge. Especially not when I’ve come this far. Just wanted to quickly to share this photo I took yesterday of my leftovers sandwich. The best leftovers [...]
Being a person naturally drawn to all things food, it’s no wonder that Thanksgiving gets me all hot and bothered. Everyone talking about farm-raised this and all-natural that, it’s enough to make a girl want to quit her job and cook everyday. (Wait a second…) And being a person naturally drawn to all things food, [...]
My idea of a perfect Sunday involves sleeping in (but not too late), breakfast in my pajamas while browsing the Internet for dinner recipes, grocery shopping (preferrably at multiple stores but that’s not always possible), and then spending the rest of the day cooking, blogging, and getting ready for the week. Then, if all goes [...]
Well, the second week of National Blog Posting Month has just started and just for the record, this challenge is officially kicking my butt. I mean, I’m doing it. But it’s a true challenge for me. And while I definitely believe it is a good thing, I sometimes wonder if the time I spend putting [...]
{Photo credit: Smitten Kitchen} I made this cake on Tuesday night. This majestic and moist honey cake I happened across on my all-time favorite food blog, Smitten Kitchen, when I was actually searching for a recipe for applesauce cake. I don’t bake all that often and never on weeknights. I felt a bit like a [...]
Today I’m heading down to New Orleans for Jazz Fest. It was sort of a last minute decision and I’ll be there for less than 36 hours, but in a lot of ways it feels like I’m going home. I haven’t been to New Orleans since last September, for my grandmother’s funeral. It was a [...]
Hi friends. Just a short note to say hello from San Francisco! I’m cozily sitting here in my hotel room, just killing time before a client networking event this evening. We have had the most amazing past few days, wine tasting in Napa on Saturday, Muir Woods, Sausalito and Golden Gate bridge on Sunday, and [...]
I have a confession to make: I’m a city kid. Well, kind of. I didn’t grow up in city. I grew up in a very suburban neighborhood in Maryland, about 15 miles from Washington D.C. But if the choice comes down to city kid or country kid, then yes, I’m definitely a city kid. There’s [...]
Late last night I found myself in a desperate situation. I was planning to head to my new favorite local grocery store first thing in the morning, but I didn’t have any idea what to make for dinner tonight and thus – no idea what to get. (Not a bad problem to have, I understand, [...]
Tonight I’m making this incredibly delicious potato salad my good friend Roxanne’s mom (Linda) makes. I’m pretty sure she didn’t make up this recipe, but since she’s the one who introduced it to me, it shall hereby be known (in my book) as ‘Linda’s Potato Salad.’ The first time I had this recipe was on [...]
