(I’m cross-posting this on my blog, Cupcake Rehab, so if you’re a reader of both you’ll probably notice you’re seeing it twice… no you aren’t seeing double! And also, because of that, they’ve got the watermark on them… so please excuse that) Well it feels really good to be back posting here! It’s been FOREVER [...]

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). [...]
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 [...]
I finished Ruth Reichl’s Garlic and Sapphires:The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise about a month ago on a ridiculously long Amtrak train ride from Orlando to New York. I thoroughly enjoyed the great length that Ruth went to keep herself disguised as she went to review all the restaurants she mentioned in the [...]

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 [...]

Well, I’m excited! We’ve decided on our first book for our journey – I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti by Giulia Melucci. As a full blooded Italian myself, I love a good story about a Brooklyn girl…especially one who can cook. I went out and picked up the book today to get our journey [...]
