On September 12, 2011 By admin

I have a girlfriend that reminds me of Cinderella. Whenever she’s at my house, everything is suddenly bright and beautiful. The birds and mouse from the neighborhood even come to say hi. I swear she can talk to them. She brought the following yumminess to my house. Now, it is a Fall staple. The kiddies [...]

On September 7, 2011 By admin

Do you use rubber gloves? I ask because this summer I had a house full of mommies who were disgusted by my lack of rubber gloves. One mommy couldn’t breathe until she got back from Target with a darling pair of dish cleaning gloves, just for me. I don’t know why I don’t use them, [...]

If you have spent any amount of time with me or my food you will know one thing: I love caramelized onions. I will look for any decent vehicle to hold the golden beauties. I love them in salad. I love them on pizza. I love them in soups. With steak. On hamburgers. Maybe I [...]

Dear Vita Mix,

It has been too long. I must publicly express my feelings for you. I love you more than anything else in my kitchen. I love you more than my Bosch mixer. I love you more than…dare I say it…some of my best knives. You are always there for me and you never [...]

It is New Year’s Day, and I can’t help myself. I have to tell you about a book. I read about food. A lot. And I read (most of) one book that truly changed the way I see and think about food. Now don’t roll your eyes as I go on and on. It’s [...]
