Happy 2012 to you all! I’m truly glad to have kissed 2011 goodbye, and am looking forward to what this next year will bring. Adam and I had a low-key New Years Eve with homemade cheese fondue, and I spent a good portion of the evening concocting this recipe. I got it set in my [...]

For the last few years, Hanukkah has fallen during a fairly inconvenient time within the holiday season. Seriously, last year, Hanukkah was three days after Thanksgiving! Since the celebration of Hanukkah is a relatively minor holiday, and what we really like is the fun time with family, we’ve created “Nonukkah” or a “ninth night” when [...]

I know what you’re thinking. Where the heck was Thanksgiving #2? Well, on Friday evening after shopping all morning, I made a batch of Utica greens (without prosciutto) for Vegetarian Friday! We arrived slightly late, and rather than focusing my energy on taking photos of the food, I enjoyed the time with family and friends. [...]

I truly cannot believe that it’s been almost 10 weeks of summer already. Camp ends on Friday, and school stuff starts again on Tuesday. It’s been a long and busy summer, as many of you can tell by my general lack of posting! I’ll be back in the kitchen more soon (which my waistline will [...]

Sometimes time will go by, and my sister and I will realize that we haven’t seen each other in weeks, so we plan a sister date. Sometimes we hang out near my house, and sometimes it’s near hers, but there’s always great conversation and fantastic food involved. Sometimes we go to a fairly nice restaurant [...]

Sunday would’ve been my dad’s 60th birthday. Instead of planning a surprise party, or fancy dinner, or a trip out to visit him, I spent the day doing things that reminded me of him. I made homemade bagels, and topped them in the best way I knew how: ‘ I always remember going to get [...]
