I know I’ve been taking a little snooze on here these past few weeks but as holidays go, I took a couple weeks to enjoy sleepy mornings, spiced ciders, Christmas trees, snow capped mountains, friend-filled weekends and lots and lots of television (read: Weeds and Dexter marathons). It was lovely. But as we charged right … Continue reading »
I am now a culinary arts student, a career changer and a girl who wears a uniform everyday. It’s official official now….not like sort-of official when I first enrolled and put a down payment on my education. I hereby have attended my first day of class and therefore reality has started to set in. I’ve … Continue reading »
I’ve done good this time. I used to be the queen of soups, if there ever were such a thing. Soups of all kinds! Veggie, beans, chilies, curries, noodles….if it could be slurped from a spoon, I probably made it. Then I sort of went into this soup hiatus where nothing sounded appealing past one … Continue reading »

But my mom was in town this weekend and her taste buds were kickin’ for something a little special. This little lovely is … Continue reading »
Christmas come-a early this year. Errr…I mean Hanukkah come-a early this year? Unfortunately, that just doesn’t have the same ring to it. Either way, Santa or Hanukkah Harry made a visit and brought me presents!!! Fiiiiine…I went and picked them up myself and technically I paid for all of them with my culinary school tuition. … Continue reading »
I am so late to the party with another post/recipe. You’ll have to forgive me as I was in Thanksgiving cooking mode for a solid 3 days and then I had a Thanksgiving hangover for 3 days after. Not a boozy hangover…a turkeystuffingcranberrysauce hangover. Its finally time to toss the last of the leftovers away … Continue reading »
Dinner parties sound scary. Impromptu dinner parties sound better. Impromptu dinner parties where I am merely a sideline contributor and its not in my kitchen – WIN. As much as I like to busy myself in my own kitchen, I have to admit sometimes I tend to be a selfish cook. I mean, my own … Continue reading »
