So, mid-summer last year our computer’s hard drive crashed. We lost everything. EVERYTHING. Wedding pictures, all our music, everything. (I’m still recovering.) To make matters worse, I thought I’d lost this gigantor box with all of our CDs. Do you remember what CDs are? They look like DVDs, but contain only music. Not ringing a […]
The Great Vegetarian Challenge: Day 3 Wow, gone are the days when we wore bonnets and walked giddily about a room with girlfriends discussing that we are in fact walking around said room because it’s refreshing. Gone are the days when we referred to a 27 year old man as “Mr.” So and So. Gone […]
So the cooking class last night = an absolute night to remember. Not only did a handful of brilliant women get the chance to mingle over bubbly prosecco and soothing red wine, we also got to throw on matching aprons, get our hands dirty and learn some professional tricks in a commercial kitchen. The menu […]
I’m back! What a whirlwind of a week. I witnessed the birth of my niece. I changed a few dirty diapers. I held and bonded with her while my sister and her husband napped. I smelled her little head. I touched her little lips to make them pucker. I cried a lot. I breastfe….kidding! No, […]
I finally did it. After two weeks of teetering on ideas, I finally opened up the can of sardines, took a nervous peek and decided what to do with them. You guys, those suckers are not cute.

STUFFED JUMBO SHELLS. Wonderfully large pasta shells filled to the rim with fluffy ricotta, velvety […]
Mama Mia. Pasta in the middle of the day = happy me.
This is such a simple meal. Like, simple to the dimple. Like, simple to the dimple to the pimple. Okay pimple is NOT a word appropriate for a food blog. My apimplegies. POLOGIES. Anyway, if you like your dimples simpled, try this simple one. …dimple. Chicken Chunks and Orzo with a Pesto Drizzle: What it […]
I always forget how amazing anchovies are. They are like hidden gems in the world of flavor. They wear capes, fly around saving dishes with their super powers and frankly, they make the world a better, safer place. Sadly though, they are either forgotten about, or people are so terrified to cook with them that […]
I’m back! And you’ll never guess what I brought with me. A hefty case of the sniffles, a sore throat and a stopped-up nose. Yay! I’m not sure if it was the four plane rides in the middle of winter, or the fact that my sister coughed right in my face after warning me about […]
