Hello!!! See? I swear I’m alive. I’ve been slightly bogged down since the new year… Birthday, birthday, sick, sick, sick, school, and some other crap thrown in there. Long story, but we’re finally back on track now (I think!). I’m full-time this semester with 5 classes (because apparently that was an AWESOME idea), so it’s [...]

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 [...]

I’ll start this off by saying I’m sure you all had a lovely Christmas, I definitely did- filled with food & family, and gifts of course. But you’re here to read about the food part of that equation, and so I won’t keep you waiting… My attempt to make Giulia’s gnocchi was to take place [...]

I dragged Shaun on Saturday afternoon to Whole Foods because I wanted to make the “Food Club Pork Roast”. The pork loin I wanted to buy was $8.99 per pound. That’s pretty expensive when I wasn’t even sure I was going to be able to make it without burning it! I ended up buying pork [...]

Well, what a whirlwind this week was! I love Thanksgiving, but I’m glad to be home. There’s nothing like coming back to your own house and sleeping in your own bed. Today was a lazy day for us though, which was nice. Brett picked up his new(ish) car and got home this afternoon. We ordered [...]

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 [...]
