When a day like today rolls around in the midwest, you stop, breath and take it in. The high is 80 degrees and the humidity has kindly done a disappearing act. I cry. To celebrate, I got out the blanket, my newest food magazines and made a most delightful lunch inspired by a recipe I [...]

Cinco De Taco!
I think it’s safe to say this holiday was made for me. Never mind that I’m American or the history itself of Cinco de Mayo. But hello, TACOS. It’s the one day of the year that you can eat 37 tacos and not be considered a freak. I just started my day with a breakfast [...]
Breakfast Salad
Well, there’s a huge, random dog in my back yard. Looks like I’m off to find its owner. Seriously, what is going on? First a bird flies into my house and now this? Wait, is this the apocalypse? I haven’t even brushed my teeth!

That Is One Cultured Egg

Or, uh, purging the last of the fridge goods before heading to the store. Let’s go with global. Breakfast Taco: What it took for 2: * 2 whole wheat flour tortillas * 3 eggs, [...]
The Crying Game
My house is crying. It looks and feels like someone had surgery a few days ago. It’s calling out to me, begging for attention. I think I even heard a snarky whisper, “stop blogging and start making me pretty already.” I point to the man with the missing nose and say, “do you SEE what [...]
This Was Not Halloween Dinner
I’d sit here for hours and tell you all about the fantastic weekend we had with our family if I didn’t have a kitchen to clean, candy to hand out to trick-or-treaters and a stack of classic Halloween movies to watch cozy by the fire. I’ll share tomorrow, promise! As well as the festive dinner [...]
Onion, Cheddar and Parsley Frittata
As I type this I am wiping up the last of the parmesan shavings with my finger and sharing onion bits with little miss Charlie. She kind of likes frittata. What it took: * 2 eggs * 1/2 a medium yellow onion, sliced thinly * 1/4th cup chopped fresh parsley * sprinkle of Hungarian sweet [...]
I Do Say Hash Alot.
I have the house to myself today. Do you know what this means? I get to do yoga, deep clean, take a long walk, sit on the sofa and read my book in silence and, well, blog! (Cue angels singing.) So to get my day started, I made one of my favorite breakfast creations. It [...]
