This post is my Thanksgiving recipe offering to you! A brightly colored (and gluten-free if you follow the NYT recipe) super (and I mean SUPER) tart, tart. Full disclosure, P did not like it. This is a fun dessert to try but do be sure to also have a separate pumpkin/apple/chocolate pie on hand for …
I had baby O! He’s a healthy, hungry and happy little guy who made his debut into this world with wide eyes open and a full head of Show Hair. We are all adjusting to life as a family of four with a new baby, but there are three things I’d forgotten about having a …
Thanksgiving tidbit #1 that you didn’t know about me: I hate cooked carrots. Like, nope, no thank-you, I only like ’em raw. I can remember being six years old and secretly palming my mom’s cooked carrots under the table to Brandy, the family golden retriever (sorry mom). Leave it to Ina Garten to make cooked carrots not only palatable, but so downright …
I feel like we have just gotten into the swing of all this heat and suddenly the temps are (sort of) dropping, the days are getting shorter and Baby P is this new upwardly mobile, vocal little human. I feel like we have eaten a lot of awesome things this summer that I was lax on posting about, because, well, LIFE. This refreshing, …
I’ve got strawberry fever and the cure is to put them in EVERYTHING! This fruit-infused tea is a refreshing and summery Memorial Day treat well worth the 24 hour wait! Cold-brewed fruit-infused tea is great for using up all the weird tea left behind by our visiting parents. They buy different tea each visit yet never drink it because they …
Ok, ok, before you head for the hills because these waffles are gluten-free, please know it is a happy coincidence! Since trying the crispiest-ever-rice-flour-coated-fried-chicken at Pinewood Social, I’ve been wanting to play around with rice flour. If it can make chicken taste that good, what else can it do? Well let me tell you, the rice …
A couple of weeks ago I had a good friend and client ask me if I had yet come out of “First Year hiding”. He explained the strange process a couple experiences when you have baby number one; you disappear socially for about a year. You lose track of everyone you hung out with before …
It’s that time of Tennessee summer for me. That “I-won’t-blow-dry-my-hair-anymore-because-it’s-too-dang-hot-outside” time of summer. Jeans have been retired to the back corner of my closet. My hair has permanent ponytail kink because again, it’s just too dang hot to have hair on your neck. It’s so swelteringly humid it makes me not want to cook anything. In fact, …
Francis Mallmann’s potato domino recipe elevates potatoes to something other worldly. He turns an ordinary potato into a crisp yet tender, super savory, glorious thing. It’s like eating an awesome hot potato chip with the softest insides and the crispiest outsides. Mailman’s recipe solidifies my ongoing love for the potato. Is there anything this tuber can’t deliciously …
Ok, so cranberry sauce… Growing up, I never touched it, as it was totally just some wobbly jello-y looking thing that slithered out of a can. I didn’t bother with it because it took up valuable real estate that could be used for more stuffing on my Thanksgiving plate. I recently found this recipe on-line for the …
