This week seems to be about rediscovering old favorite recipes. First was split pea soup, which I made for the first time over two years ago. Then, white chicken chili which, with its plethora of beans made for an extremely satisfying lunch today. And tonight? Tonight brought something back from a dear friend, who I [...]

The statement “I have such a sweet tooth!” is quite an understatement in my case. I’m pretty sure that if given the chance, I could eat (and likely enjoy) mass quantities of most sweet treats. I’m not just talking about an “OMG I had three whole cookies” kind of mass quantity, but more like the [...]

Challenge #1: Create a post that defines you as a food blogger. As a food blogger, many times we’re lumped into various categories. [...]

Dinner was full of T’s. Tofu. Teriyaki. Tubers. Tower. I made a baked tofu much like our beloved Gliding Calm does. I used sriracha for the spice, and agave for the sweet. I made it a point to press the heck out of it under a baking pan, heavy cookbook, cast iron skillet, box of [...]

After work today, I had to drive out to my mom’s office for some wedding related stuff. My mom’s office is in a suburb which is right near the day camp that I work at all summer. This suburb has all sorts of wonderful things in it that we don’t yet have out here in [...]

We talk fairly often, and have been planning a “suburban evening” for some time now. So tonight was the night! I [...]

I’d won jars of this great jam in a giveaway by Eating Bird Food months ago, but I really didn’t get a chance to enjoy them. I’m fully intending on using each [...]

Nine weeks of camp has come and gone yet again… I still can’t believe I’ve done this ten times now, and will continue until, well, Adam and I start a family of our own. I grow so attached to my girls every year, the staff becomes family, and leaving is always bittersweet. Sure, I like [...]

Don’t worry, I’ll get to the Wednesday in Numbers… but tonight’s dinner really kind of made me laugh. When I went to Whole Paycheck Foods on Monday, I bought (finally) some more tofu to bake a la Gliding Calm for at least one meal this week. I was quite excited to make it again, came [...]

Week 2 of camp is officially underway!! We had a blast today bowling, and two of my 4 year old campers got strikes! I can’t even do that well! It was also the very first time in 10 years of working at camp that I did NOT pig out on the snack food that all [...]
