Annnnnd… we’re back! Sorry for the delay. We’ve all been reading the latest book and I think most of us have finished it, but we’re also really busy, so excuse us. But here I am with a new recipe and Jeanine posted that fantastic three layer carrot cake so hopefully we’re back on a roll. [...]
Okay folks I promise that we didn’t forget about you or stop cooking! I finished Confections of a Closet Master Baker: One Woman’s Sweet Journey from Unhappy Hollywood Executive to Contented Country Baker by Gesine Bullock-Prado about a month ago. There were so many recipes in this book that I wanted to make. I have [...]

Well I’ve been MIA for almost 2 months. That’s really lousy of me- but things have been busy. Plus I’m keeping up with my food blog, as well as all the other daily acitivities and responsibilities I have to do. But nonetheless, I finished Garlic & Sapphires a while back and I have to say [...]

Well! We have had quite the week in this household; lots of craziness going on over here. Classes are finally finished and I’m opting to blog instead of studying for a final in the morning. I spent a few days in NY at the end of last week, spending some time with my mom and [...]

No, that’s not directed at you – any of you. That’s actually what they’re called. This, by far, was my favorite 3 pages of the book. Not because of Giulia’s heartache, because we all sit and wonder the “what-ifs” after a breakup. We all try to somehow find a backwards way of blaming ourselves to [...]

Well! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I brought my laptop with me, and didn’t open it once. Oops. This year we headed back to New York for the holiday (we flip flop Thanksgiving and Christmas each year). It was a nice few days. My family on both sides is Italian, which always [...]

I have officially finished “I Loved, I lost, I made Spaghetti”, and I loved it! It was so interesting to me that each of her relationships were so different but so incredibly necessary. Thinking back to all of my own heartbreaking and heart aching (more heart-aching sadly for me) it is so true how necessary [...]

Well, here we go! I have to say, I’m 100% hooked on this book – and the author. From the first of her recipes (a plum tomato sauce that reminded me of my grandmother’s recipe) I was definitely hooked. I see many of my own qualities in her – mainly her nurturing and the care [...]
