Yes, that is a cheesy title. No, this post is not about Cheetos (too bad, I know; they’re totally my secret guilty pleasure love o’ life). This happy Friday post is, however, about an equally cheese-infused bite that I never in my wildest dreams thought I’d bake and then so joyfully nosh. Today is all…
Pasta + cheese = comfort
Cooking can be a pretty mathematical process sometimes. For the mathletes among us, that’s probably reassuring. Knowing that spaghetti + sauce = dinner is likely just as comforting as knowing that 2 + 2 = 4. Simple cooking truths, just like simple math, are the building blocks of kitchen know-how, and though the real fun…
Challah, you’re the flavor I was missing
From the time I was in first grade through third grade, my family lived in Germany, and during that first year overseas, we lived in Egelsbach, a little German town near the Air Force base where my dad was stationed. I have a lot of great memories from our time there — spaghetti ice from…
Dear Ms. Witch. Your house smells good: Gingerbread cake
Remember the story of Hansel and Gretel? The little kids who stumbled upon a witch’s gingerbread house while walking through the woods, only to be wooed inside by the promise of sweets and fattened up so the mean old witch could enjoy some tasty kid stew? No matter what version of the story you heard…
The look for less
I was flipping through the October issue of Real Simple a few nights ago (happy, happy times, I assure you) when I came across a story all about throw pillows. Now forget the fact that I was already won over by the mere mention of pillows (I have a bit of an obsession — as…
The Breakfast Club: Pumpkin waffles
It seems I can’t say enough about the merits of an A+ kind of breakfast (OK, I probably can — and have — said enough about my love of breakfast foods, but surely someone else out there shares my love of starchy AM goodness). I think I could eat breakfast for every meal of the…
I’ll take the whole enchilada
Lots of the meals Jared and I have come to know and love (and cook with the utmost frequency) are recipes we’ve discovered during the past few years of marriage. Some are from magazines, some are from blogs, some are makeshift creations we’ve tweaked and refined with time. No matter their origins, however, they’ve become…
Another one for the aviary
What’s white, ceramic and cost less than a couple of tall nonfat lattes at Starbucks? This guy! A quick swing by TJ Maxx a few weekends ago in search of sweet deals on baby garb proved to be a lucky duck kind of trip for more than just the Bean. Tucked among a slew of…
The happiest cookies you’ll ever make
The older I get (it’s all relative, I know), the more I realize how much some of the best things in life are also the simplest. Life gets crazy, plans have to change, but I think there’s comfort in knowing that lifting your spirits or finding your happy place isn’t nearly as overwhelming or unattainable…
Pin-spiration. Love love lovity.
Has anyone else jumped on the Pinterest train lately? I know I’ve raved about its awesomeness before (not to mention its Facebook-like power to suck up hours and hours of time before you even realize what’s happening), but up until now my obsession with the site has been all talk and no action. I do…
