I was supposed to share a new book and recipe with you today, but I can’t bring myself to. I have never been more grateful for being a homebody than today, when I found myself miles away from the chaos downtown, tucked away in Somerville. But many of my friends and coworkers were there to watch the marathon, cheer on the runners, and soak up the sunshine, beers in hand. Thankfully, they are all safe and accounted for. I so […]

I have exciting news! A while back, I was asked to contribute a recipe to Joanna at a Cup of Jo’s ongoing feature – “The Best ___ You’ll Ever Have.” Joanna is a rockstar blogger, the kind that makes other bloggers daydream about quitting their boring corporate jobs and spending their days writing beautiful, funny, and charming stories with appropriately gorgeous photographs. It’s easy to be fooled into thinking that this is the dream life by someone who makes it […]

Sunday afternoon I had a sudden urge to bake. I didn’t have anything planned, and didn’t even have a particularly strong desire to eat baked goods, I just wanted to do the actual baking.

Something hearty that would go well with a much-needed cold beer. That’s all the story there is behind these […]

Happy April, everyone! I’m so glad we’re done with all that January-February-March-extended winter business. I spent the weekend celebrating the warm weather (and Easter!) with some serious gardening and some playing with my new camera and some scalloped potatoes and ham. It was a much-needed break from being indoors stuck in front of a computer screen. I’ve got another recipe from The Chef’s Collaborative Cookbook today (check out my full review – and a recipe for Thai Pork Sliders – here). […]
