I’ve been bombarded, at work mostly, by the question “How do you find time to cook and blog every night?” I usually joke “Some people work out, I cook, take pictures, then blog what I cooked! It’s kind of the exact opposite outcome!” To be honest, my days are quite full and busy with little [...]
I’ve always prided myself in being able to throw together a meal with not much more than what was already in my kitchen. Some people consider “staples” to be nothing more than cans of beans, bottled water, and condiments, but I’m of a different school of thought. “Staples” will allow a good meal to be [...]

Are you sitting down? This is going to be… a RECIPE post! I know, shocking. Over the weekend when we had our pint-sized overnight visitor, she requested one thing as soon as she got in the car. “Mara, when we get back to your house, after I say hi to the dogs, can we make [...]
Many many years ago, I was introduced to this “new” burger placed called Red Robin. There weren’t very many of them in our area, and everyone I talked to said it was “SO GOOD” and they had neverending steak fries. I was in! On one of our very early dates, Adam and I met for [...]
I give up trying to be wordless. It just doesn’t happen! So, we’ll call it “Slightly Loquacious Wednesday” instead. A couple days ago I made pork bao buns. They were pretty good, but not perfect. I’ll have to try again. I also made whole wheat linguine with clams. It was amazing and I was [...]
You are all AMAZING! Thanks to all of your generosity, and the promise that the last few donations will come in the next couple of days, the Online Flea Market for Pancreatic Cancer raised…. **Drumroll Please*** $566!!!!!!!!!! I kind of can’t believe it! The 5K Run/Walk is next weekend, and my donation page is open [...]
Ok, almost Wordless Wednesday. You all know I can’t REALLY be quiet. I spent the past two nights at two different family Passover celebrations! Monday night, I went with Adam to his family’s seder, and didn’t quite feel right taking photos. Tuesday though, at my mom’s, I took advantage of the situation to take some [...]
Every month or so, my friend Kristin and I try to get together for a girls-only dinner downtown. Usually dinner is preceeded by photos of her adorable puppy, who is getting bigger before our eyes! Day 1 Month 2.5 Month 3.5 He’s such a cute puppy… and he just keeps getting bigger! Anyway, after a [...]
Since the response was so HUGE for my perfect whole wheat pizza dough, I figured I’d go above and beyond my normal “couple of pictures and a recipe” post, and just for you, because I’m nice like that, I decided to do a photo tutorial. You’ll thank me in a little while! For those of [...]
First of all, I’m overwhelmed by the response to my request for donations to the 5K I’m walking in a few weeks! The donation page is going to be up until April 30, so please stop by if you can even spare a dollar! I got a few inquiries about the blogger “flea market” I’ll [...]
