It’s no secret that I love small things. More specifically, small things that are just small versions of big things. A normal carrot? Great, and delicious in hummus. A teeny tiny carrot?? Amazing! A regular-sized cupcake? Delicious and definitely cuter than a large cake. A mini cupcake? Perfection! An average burger? Perfect on the grill [...]

When it’s freezing outside, there’s only one thing on my mind: getting and staying warm. I have this issue with cold toes. When my toes are cold, it doesn’t matter how warm the rest of me is, I feel cold. During the week, this is a rare occurrence because my school building is quite warm. [...]

This was going to be a post about bread. More specifically, this bread: It’s a super-fluffy, high-fiber, slightly sourdough whole wheat bread I made because, to be honest, we were out of bread, and I was bored and cold on this weekend morning. Don’t worry, I’ll still share the recipe. While the bread was rising [...]

I’m not calling you a dummy, I swear! Over the last few months, Adam and I have thoroughly embraced the delicious South Beach Diet side dish that is mashed cauliflower. One of the things that I’ve really missed in these months (with a couple of gaps for the holidays) following South Beach have been potato-based [...]

Sometimes, I’ll inexplicably crave something odd and random. Usually, it comes from someone at work quoting something random, and then by word association, yadda yadda yadda, I end up cooking something out of the ordinary. So today, a student asked something about people who “don’t eat no meat.” After correcting the grammatical error, I was [...]

After the wonderful girls’ weekend I had this past couple of days, I was fairly excited to go home and crash… but my friend Amanda had another idea before I could go home. In between where we were staying and her house (where my car was parked) is a fantastic dairy farm and creamery which [...]

I used to make white chicken chili all the freaking time. It got to the point where I could make it without checking the recipe, it came out the same every single time, and thanks to that, I got really sick of it. Adam got sick of it. Heck, I think our fridge got sick [...]

It finally decided to get cold here last night. Granted, according to the weather people and the app on my iPhone, it’s only going to be cold for a little while, and then its back to the mid-40s. I’m really particular when it comes to cooking wintery foods. It has to be below 50° outside [...]

For the last few years, Hanukkah has fallen during a fairly inconvenient time within the holiday season. Seriously, last year, Hanukkah was three days after Thanksgiving! Since the celebration of Hanukkah is a relatively minor holiday, and what we really like is the fun time with family, we’ve created “Nonukkah” or a “ninth night” when [...]
