bacon. good.
November 19th, 2012
Hi all! I just got back from four amazing days at Camp Mighty, in glorious Palm Springs. It was an experience unlike any I’ve ever had and I can’t wait to share it all with you over the coming weeks. But first – bacon. I consider myself an accomplished cook, with pretty sophisticated taste. And [...]
chipper
October 24th, 2012
My challenges with feeding Noah have been well documented here. Though I made all of my own baby food – which he happily gobbled up – and he transitioned beautifully to table food, once he hit the 2-year mark his appetite plummeted. Along with the range of foods he was willing to eat. So the last [...]
d.i.y.: larabars
October 8th, 2012
More “lunchtime” confessions today……… As hard as it is for me to have a proper lunch at home (see here and here for my typical “go-to’s”), it’s virtually impossible when I’m out and about. I will often just throw some cashews and dried cranberries in a Ziploc (with maybe a piece of cheese), but pack [...]
to market: fruit leather
September 26th, 2012
Remember when I wrote about buying too much at the farmer’s market? And how roasting is a great way to use all that gorgeous produce that’s now sitting in your kitchen? Well – I did it again. Except this time with fruit. Specifically, peaches. To me, a peak-of-season peach is one of the most satisfying [...]
never say “never” – two tea tutorials
August 22nd, 2012
In keeping with my theme this week of “things you’ll never see on my blog”, I thought it was only fitting to include a post about tea. Tea, to me, is something you drink when you’re sick. I put no thought into the brand or the process, but simply into getting some hot liquid into [...]
honeydew-lime ice pops
July 25th, 2012
Hi all! I’m thrilled, delighted and totally honored to be guest-posting over at Inward Facing Girl today! You may remember the lovely Melanie from the “blove” I gave her a while back – she is not only one of my favorite bloggers, but has become a good friend too. I’m sharing my recipe for honeydew-lime ice [...]
favor- “ette” friday: preserving fresh ginger
January 6th, 2012
Happy New Year all! I feel like the last several weeks have been consumed with holiday busy-ness, and so were my posts. So much to share with you, but it’s Friday so let’s start with one of my favorite favor-”ettes”! Ginger is one of those ingredients that irks me. I use it often in my [...]
favor- “ette” friday: how to make a decorative ice ring
December 30th, 2011
I make a big Hanukkah party every year. And since the focus of the evening is my potato latkes, I try to make the rest of the food and drink as easy and streamlined as possible (for those of you unfamiliar with latkes, they are both labor AND time intensive – but soooooooo worth it!). I order in [...]
brittle and bark smack down, part two!
December 22nd, 2011
Did you enjoy yesterday’s recipe for white chocolate peppermint bark? Here are the other two I promised you – and these brittles are just as easy to make. The first one is a honeycomb brittle – it gets its name both from the honey in the recipe and the honeycomb pattern that appears when the [...]
