Wowwwwwwwww. You’re going to have to trust me on something — this is one of those instances where the deliciousness of a meal does not perfectly translate in pictures. You might not be able to tell from the picture, but THIS WAS DELICIOUS. I like chicken and dumplings pretty well, but in my mind they’re … Continue reading
You guys. You guys. These are so good. I don’t even understand why. I mean, I like Swiss cheese. And I like tuna salad. And I like English muffins. But all these things together? What was once merely like is elevated to looooooove. Mutliple-voweled love, in fact. Yikes. OK, let me dial it down a … Continue reading
Last week my husband and I celebrated our one-year wedding anniversary, and we had a super chill night. The plan was to go on a picnic, but he had to work a little late and it was sort of rainy and cold, so we had an indoor picnic. And by that I mean we ate … Continue reading
The night I made these enchiladas started out pretty normally. Left work at five, came home and went for a run, then settled in the kitchen around 7:30 to start making dinner (and watch Jeopardy.

I think I am slowly falling in love with tempeh. A few months ago I tried it fried and coated in a yummy honey BBQ sauce, and it was outstanding. Last week I crumbled it up in a Mexican casserole (using it like you would with cooked ground beef), and it worked great this way, … Continue reading

Step one is NBD for me – I love looking through cooking blogs and cookbooks to find yummy new things to make. I also like to write … Continue reading
Confession time: we have this big, beautiful dining room table that I was so excited to pick out and buy with the Crate & Barrel gift certificates we got as wedding gifts…but we eat dinner at this beautiful table roughly never. We’ll eat there when we have company over and every once in a blue … Continue reading
Last week I went out to dinner with some friends at a fancy schmancy restaurant for my birthday. We had lots of delicious stuff, but the thing that really blew my mind was this caprese cocktail they served. I can’t remember what all was in it, but it tasted all basil-y and smooth and perfect. … Continue reading
I’m a little surprised that I’ve been blogging for six months or so, and I’ve never shared our favorite Friday night pizza recipe! This is right up there with that yummy salmon in our house. My husband gets really excited when he comes home and finds me making this pizza. Part of what we love … Continue reading
