Guess what? Toffee is possibly the easiest Christmas treat ever. And it’s rather impressive, isn’t it? At least, I think so. (Warning: This candy does have enough sugar and butter to knock a week or two off the end of your life. But I think it’s worth it this Christmas!)
At the beginning of this year, I decided I was going to read a new book every week. Even though I had an infant. That totally went according to plan… But one of the fun side effects of this plan was becoming acquainted with a few new (to me) food blogs, as several of the […]
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are enjoying (or soon will be) time with family and friends this Thanksgiving! For my part, we are in California with my husband’s extended family—and 35 people will be sitting down to share dinner this evening! As you may imagine, I’ve been a little bit caught up in the frenzy […]
So I have dreams of hosting Thanksgiving dinner at my house. I love the idea of making the big meal, setting a long table, and decorating the house with festive and funky Fall items.

Cuz yeah, it’s that time of year already! And what the heck, make a pumpkin bowl! Use it as a vegetarian centerpiece. How […]
I have a lot of squash in my house. Like. A lot. And one of the easiest ever ways to use up fall squash is to roast it and toss it into a grain salad with some greens and cheese. I have been a little reluctant to share this with you, because I feel like […]
CSA Week 17: Miso-Curry Delicata Squash
We have been getting a lot of fall squashes from the CSA! At least two per week, usually weighing in over 1 lb. apiece. Good thing I love fall squash! It’s also been fun to get to know some of the different varieties. Normally, I am a butternut-acorn-pumpkin girl, but now I am learning about […]
I love food. I especially love good food…stuffed inside of other good food! (No. I am NOT talking about a tur-duck-en. Gross.) These stuffed peppers are tangy and spiced (not spicy, but full of bold flavors). I used tri-color quinoa, mixed in with corn, black beans, a small chili pepper, and cilantro. I love that […]
