I’ve been saying for months that I’ve lost my cooking mojo. With the stress of last winter, then the craziness of Summer and camp, and now with the beginning of the school year, I just didn’t have the energy or desire to come home and cook a meal. But now, I’m into a rhythm with [...]

My sister Leigh turned 27 on Monday, which also happened to be Labor Day. I’m pretty sure her actual birth day was on Labor Day as well, but since I was 4 when she was born, I don’t really remember! What I do remember is knowing deep down that I was going to have a [...]

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 [...]

This is a meal with a bit of an identity crisis. It’s the dough of a calzone. But what are those condiments? Those look fairly Mexican. Salsa, sour cream, avocado… yup. Mexican condiments. So what’s inside this puffy calzone? That would be gooey cheese (low fat cheddar), fat-free vegetarian refried beans, and lean taco meat. [...]

Have you voted today for my Wonderful POMcakes? Before I moved in with Adam, I lived in this wonderful neighborhood on the northwest side of Chicago. It was notoriously a Polish neighborhood, but its true appeal lay in who lived a mere few blocks away. Lizz (and infant Skylar) and our good friend Greg lived [...]

When I read a tweet lately asking if anyone would like to do a guest post, I leapt on the opportunity. Why, I don’t know, but I imagine the attention whore in me thought I’d get some extra traffic to my blog, Life as a Foodie, in doing so. But what it came down to [...]

**Today is the last day to vote for Project Food Blog Challenge #6! I’d truly appreciate your vote!** I apparently am very consistent with ingredients I truly enjoy, and even more consistent if we’re talking about a Latin or Mexican dish.
