It’s the middle of January! I am already flagging on my New Year’s resolutions to eat healthy. Is that just me? It’s time for a delicious pick-me-up. And what is more delicious than a glut of hearty, colorful veggies, stirred into some slightly chewy, nutty quinoa? My good friend Sarah over at Well Dined agreed […]
So…it’s football season. Probably my least favorite thing of all time. The only redeeming quality football season boasts is that it tends to be full of delicious appetizers. As you accept invitations and visit with friends and their big screen TVs (which you may or may not be interested in actually watching), consider whipping up […]
Okay, I don’t know about you, but December is a really busy time of year for me. And it’s not just Christmas–my husband’s birthday is also in the middle of December! Plus, with baby Jake hanging around, demanding us to cuddle with him and coo with him, it just seems like the whole month passed […]
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 […]
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, my husband loves Asian food. That sounds like an over-generalization, but I can almost guarantee that if the cuisine originated from somewhere in the Far East, he would be perfectly happy eating it every day for every meal. Korean food, Chinese food, Thai food, Vietnamese food…you name it, he’s there. I find it challenging […]
This month for the Secret Recipe Club, I was assigned the blog Samayalarai: Cooking is Divine. What an interesting blog—and something of a challenge for me, an Indian food rookie! Looking through the pages and pages of recipes, mostly for things I had never previously heard of, was a real education for me. I mean, […]
So. I’ve been completely AWOL lately. I’ve been a bit distracted, what with starting a part-time job as a German teacher, finishing up my semester at grad school, and BEING FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS PREGNANT! Thought I’d slip that in there 🙂 My pregnancy so far has been rather delightful. I fell into that […]
Everywhere I look this Spring, I see blooming pink azaleas, vibrant purple irises, and fields of tulips. Flowers are simply everywhere. Including in these scones. Now, don’t panic. These scones don’t taste like a bite out of your flower beds or anything. But they are delicately fragrant and slightly herbaceous. Honestly, a perfect Spring treat!
