I can’t be the only one that thinks of the classic Friend’s episode when, thinking she was making a trifle, Rachel inadvertently made a trifle topped with a shepherds pie. “It’s a trifle. It’s got all of these layers. First there’s a layer of ladyfingers, then a layer of jam, then custard, which I made [...]

After a far-too-long hiatus, the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pans met for what I’m calling PansGiving, or, in other words, The Traveling Pans Does Thanksgiving. It was a remarkable spread of quite phenomenal food from horseradish-cranberry sauce to squash spaetzle, and as always, the company trumped the food. We gathered first in Liz’s kitchen and [...]

Happy Sunday all! I can’t believe my Spring break ended today with a 3” snowfall! I’m not thrilled, but at least the weather is supposed to pick up later this week. When I saw my mom earlier this week, she told me about a great recipe she’d come across in Eating Well Magazine. My mom [...]

I’m completely carnivorous this week for some reason, with steak last [...]

If you’ve ever been to the Olive Garden (or the O.G. as we call it), you’ve probably seen Zuppa Toscana on their menu. It’s one of the things they’re famous for there, in addition to the oh-so-fabulous breadsticks and salad. Adam LOVES this soup. I’m new to it, and I absolutely LOVE it. Too bad [...]

When I first started Weight Watchers back in 2006, I was living alone and not cooking very much. I discovered Heather’s Recipe Site and started a fun cycle. Make Tamale pie Eat Tamale Pie for dinner and lunch for a week. Pick a new recipe. Eat that recipe for a week. Repeat. I continued this [...]

With an extra day off today, Adam and I decided to make the trek to the nearest Trader Joe’s for groceries instead of just going to the local store. My first thought went to all the wonderful sweets and treats they have there above all the frozen foods… and then my thoughts went to the [...]

I’m going to pull a Brandi and not tell you the winner right away. I had a TERRIBLE time figuring out what recipe to pick! They all sounded SO incredible, the pictures were fantastic, and I seriously could not decide. I also didn’t want to pick my winner based on whose blog it came from. [...]
