The blogging community is an incredibly cool thing. Thanks to my little blog, I’ve been lucky enough to meet some of the most amazing and wonderful people. Some people may think its weird that I met these people <gasp> online and now consider them some of my closest friends. Sometimes, I’ll read a blog and [...]

A mere 730 days ago, or two years in normal-people’s counting, I put on a big white dress, got my hair curled, put on turquoise shoes and walked down the aisle to marry the love of my life, best friend, and partner-in-crime. I truly cannot imagine my life without Adam in it, and am grateful [...]

I generally pride myself on making healthy, delicious, and attractive dishes on this little blog of mine. Most of the time I do a pretty good job, if I say so myself, but today notsomuch. Oh it was healthy. It was delicious. But man oh man was it ugly! I tried so hard too… but [...]

It’s a rarity when I’ll see a recipe on a blog and promptly make it that day. Usually, I’ll see something complicated on a day I have to work late, or something simple on a day I feel like challenging myself. So, I bookmark and pin things to remember, and then come back to them [...]

Many many months ago, I saw a favorite blogger of mine post a recipe for “naked ravioli”. I was intrigued. I’d never heard of these before, so when I was at a loss for dinner, my mind wandered back to that naughty-sounding dish I’d read about. Gnudi, or “naked ravioli” are essentially ravioli without the [...]

It all happened in a food-induced blur: I volunteered to host the next meeting of the Traveling Pans way back in March. Sure, I could host in June! Sure! Eight people could easily fit in our dining room! And the next thing I knew, we were actually planning the event. One fun thing about hosting [...]

I’ve been waxing poetic about the blogging community lately. See, I knew it was a wonderful community to be a part of before when everyone sent me lovely messages when Adam and I got married. I knew you were all supportive when my father passed away and people came out of the woodwork to send [...]

I’ve been out and about with my friend Ericka since she arrived on Monday afternoon… but, for Ericka and I, “out and about” includes things like going to fun grocery stores, coming up with recipes, cooking, and eating. Our friendship has pretty much always been like that, actually. We met in college when we shared [...]

I need you to use your imagination for a little while here. Are you ready? Imagine you’re a teacher. Not just any teacher, but a teacher for a class that isn’t state-tested, and is considered a “fun” class by the students. Now imagine that it’s the day before Spring break. Imagine that over a third [...]

Spring is, quite possibly, my favorite time of year. Besides the longer days, warmer weather, and everyone’s general better mood, the produce is just fantastic. After months and months of potatoes, hard squashes, root vegetables, and other things that grow underground, Spring brings about things that are green. Not just green, but that delicious bright [...]
