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 [...]

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 [...]

There are some days when nothing but pizza will do. Sometimes, the pizza needs to be standard Chicago-style deep dish, full of lots of gooey cheese and loaded with sausage and spinach. Those days are usually full of misbehaving students, bad traffic, and fights with a stapler. Today wasn’t one of THOSE days. Today was [...]

Last week, I decided that it was a great time to start exploring all the fun gadgets and small appliances that Adam and I were lucky enough to receive for our wedding. I coined it “gadget week” and started with the mandoline, then the rice cooker, the fancy schmancy blender, the immersion blender, and tonight…the [...]

Last night, Adam and I decided that it was time for an old-school “dinner and a movie” date night. Well, it ended up being “movie and dinner” as we went to the movies first. Since we were away right after Avatar came out, we finally got on the bandwagon and contributed to its billions-of-dollars success. [...]
