Wow, it has been what feels like forever and a lifetime since I last posted (oh right, it was). My apologies. I am so excited to be kicking off the new year with the CTB Ladies again! We have a great new book that is open on my night stand…A Homemade Life (as Marilla mentioned). [...]
Yes, you read that right. We’re back! After a long absence, the four of us are picking up the books again! Our next book, which was Jeanine’s pick, is A Homemade Life by Molly Wizenberg, for anyone who wants to read along with us (our Books We Cooked page is even updated!) It’s been a [...]
Well! I must apologize a thousand-fold for my loooong absence over these last two months. The newest book was MY suggestion and two days after we decided to read Confessions, my mother-in-law passed away VERY suddenly while on vacation in Mexico. Since then our lives have been thrown into a whirlwind, and I could barely [...]
It’s been a busy few months for us. Brianne got her own blog up and running and then got a .com (Iron Chef Mommy), and then Jeanine became a vegan again, decided to start a vegan blog and bought her .com (Vegan Nourishment – coming soon!) and she’s been working on that… and I’ve been [...]

Well hello again! It has been quite the whirlwind of a week here in PA as we prepared (and overprepared) for the holiday. I have spent most of the week as, you guessed it, a cooking slut. I have made baklava, cookies, brownies, cupcakes, dips, sides, sauce(s), and most importantly, gnocchi. For more about cooking [...]

As we near the end of our first book, I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti, get closer to the start of our second book, Garlic & Sapphires, and having just watched the movie Julie & Julia, I started thinking about all sorts of things: blogging, cooking (and blogging about it), and reading books and [...]

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- not our blog! But our first book selection, I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti. We all thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I think we can all agree every recipe we tried from it was aces, that we could relate to it in so many ways, and that we were all very sad when [...]

So now, that Thanksgiving weekend is coming to end and I am thinking about returning to work, I am really sad that Giulia will no longer accompany me on the train for my morning commute. I am very grateful, however, that her book has found her way among my closet o’ cookery books! As you [...]

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 [...]
