My friend Emily went to an apple farm a couple of weeks ago and brought me back a whole bunch of apples that I need to use up, so today I decided to make one of my favorite fall/winter treats: Apple Pound Cake.
This is my mom’s recipe, and I have no idea where she got [...]
This week, I’ll be participating in Happy Week, headed up by Lisa at Curious Girl. Every day from now until Saturday, I’ll share something with you that makes me happy.
Today, it’s this:
That’s everything I bought at the Farmers’ Market on Sunday. Amazing!
Fresh produce, flowers, food…it all makes me happy. And sharing the experience with my [...]
I have a confession. I am in a major, major cooking rut. Huge. It’s…bad. We’ve been eating out a lot, and eating far, far too much pasta/annie’s mac/waffles/convenience food and spending a fortune between eating out and random trips to the grocery store.
I’m having a hard time thinking of things I want to cook and [...]
I wrote most of this post yesterday while at the Laundromat doing about eight loads of laundry. Although I will admit that watching the clothes go around and around in the machines is oddly mesmerizing, I had to try do something to fill the time.

I never realized the sheer volume of laundry three people can [...]
Today’s post is a guest post written by my husband, Brett, who works in the coffee industry and is very knowledgable about all things coffee-related. This post is prompted by my friend Annie’s request after I posted about how to make a Melitta last fall. Enjoy!

Here we go, week one of my meal plan. My hope is that I can get it posted by Friday so that you can print it and shop over the weekend, with the meal plan starting on Sunday evening.
Some notes, first, before I get started. First, this plan will pertain to dinner only. In general, [...]
Last night, Brett had a bit of a freak out over the amount of our grocery budget. Sure, it’s the second largest expense every month (with rent as number one). I guess it’s a little higher than average, probably, but given that I buy almost all organic and include all cleaning supplies, toiletries, etc in [...]
I got this recipe from a jar of sundried tomatoes I bought recently. It’s also online. It sounded yummy so I made it tonight. Oh, wow, it was so good! Yes, it’s a risotto, so while it’s a simple recipe in terms of ingredients and prep, the actual execution of it is pretty work-intensive. Risottos [...]
Well then. That was a slightly longer break than I’d intended on taking, but life just got going and I sort of let blogging fall off my radar.
Elanor’s sick again, or is sick still, if you prefer. I feel really sad for her. She’s got a cough and is all sniffly and is getting about [...]
I love Indian food, and a few years ago I found this blog, which has a lot of great Indian recipes made easy, with lots of pictures of the different steps in the process. I’ve made this channa masala many times now, and it’s always a hit. I serve it with basmati rice and some [...]
