I can’t remember what exactly I was thinking I was going to do with a couple pounds of spinach, but that happens sometimes when you shop at Costco. So, here we are staring at my refrigerator for the last several days going, “Well, I have […]
I just went apple picking, which I believe is a first for me! All of the nostalgic apple picking memories that I have from childhood I believe are from movies and TV shows. Although it wouldn’t be surprising if there’s some childhood picture of me […]
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m in a cooking rut. This is the third macaroni and cheese that I’ve made in the last couple of weeks (I ordinarily make one about once a month, but still). This might say something about how integral […]
I’ve been in a macaroni and cheese mood. It’s one of my favorite comfort foods. It’s the thing that I turn to when I stare blankly into the fridge going, “I have noooooooothing to eeeeeeeeeat.” Maybe for simply the reason that, no matter how bare […]

I’m fond of ladies brunches. Any excuse to get together, dress up, make fun food, and drink cocktails in the middle of the day is a good time to me! I’m also about to go out of town. So, I need to cook up what […]
I adore macaroni and cheese. It’s one of my favorite things to make and is surprisingly simple to toss together from scratch. I’ll turn just about any and every cheese that I have lying around into macaroni and cheese. I have a local cheese shop […]
It’s officially spring. The price of eggs has skyrocketed lately, but I cannot fathom a world without eggs. I’ve had chickens a couple of times and have gone whole swaths of my life where I pretty much lived on eggs. They’re a hearty food that’s […]
