Apparently when I was a kid, I liked apples. (For those of you just tuning in…I am a bona fide fruit hater, so the apple thing is unusual.) I have no memory of this, but my parents swear I used to pinch apples that my dad had been eating, toddle away, and bring him back […]
When I was little, I thought I hated fish. (Okay, what little kid doesn’t think they hate fish?…especially when fish sticks are one of the main examples they have to work with…) In my case, I had a scarring experience with flounder, which to me tastes fishy in all the wrong ways. I still refuse […]
Hey. Do you remember about two years ago when we had that huge pumpkin shortage? Since then, I have lived in fear of not being able to get my pumpkin fix each fall. But guess what? I discovered a way to cheat and get my fill of my favorite orange foods, even if pumpkin is […]
Guess what!? I’m a MOMMY! Little Jake couldn’t possibly be more adorable if he tried. Dave and I are busy adjusting to life as parents…and let me just say it has been an adventure so far! Our little guy is so amazing, and we are so happy that he has *finally* joined us!

Quinoa Bean Salad with Lemon-Basil Dressing
Are you wondering what to do with the last of the summer produce? I still find myself in the grocery store looking longingly at the tomatoes, even as I am getting super hyped about fall squash. So I decided to say goodbye to summer in style before the summer goodies completely lost their luster! This […]
You know what I need? More 10-minute dinner recipes. You know why? I am about to become a mother. And infants + complex meals = crazy, worn out mommies. Or so I’ve heard from every single mother of young children I know. With some trepidation, I have begun gearing up for the first few weeks […]
One day last week, I woke up and realized that there was no food in the house. I mean, sometimes there is no quick food in the house, nothing in the fridge that is ready to go. But on this morning, there was almost nothing. No cereal, no eggs, no butter, none of my favorite […]
So perhaps you’ve heard of the infamous Neiman Marcus cookie. As urban legend goes, a mom and her daughter were shopping at the Neiman Marcus department store, and they stopped to get some lunch.
