A few nights ago, I watched Martha Stewart’s Holiday Open House on Hallmark Channel (yep, that’s top-notch primetime viewing, pals), which perfectly topped my nearly month-long love affair with all things Martha. Between new episodes of The Martha Stewart Show and daily holiday reruns of Martha Stewart Living, I’m on serious Martha overload (I realize…
I’m dreaming of a white (ceramic) Christmas
You can’t put a price on my love of white ceramic, but if you could, $4.99 sounds like a pretty sweet deal. During our last IKEA trip (I know, I know, I keep reliving my latest IKEA experience, but I’m hoping the trail of breadcrumbs ensures I’ll find my way back again), Jared and I…
No bake? No problem.
Do you remember the first time you ate a no-bake cookie? When I was little, my mom could whip up oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip cookies and snickerdoodles so fluffy you’d think they were pillows (really, my friends were always mega impressed when I pulled them out of my lunchbox), but no-bake cookies were never her…
Cookiepalooza 2010
Three years ago, Jared and I started a holiday tradition with our friends Jon and Rebekah that’s wreaked happy holiday havoc on our tiny smidge of a kitchen. For this now-annual Christmastime event, we go all-out cookie-baking crazy, which means we spend an entire evening (and by evening I mean a solid four-hour chunk at…
Oh, Christmas card. Oh, Christmas card.
December is the month when I make more lists than any other time of year; it’s also the month when I fall behind more than I care to admit. Perhaps my goals are way too ambitious (OK, I don’t really need to try four new cookie recipes in one evening or hand-paint every piece of…
Eat your vegetables
When I was a freshman in college, one of the dining halls (Eva J’s — woot, woot!) periodically served up one of my all-time favorite vegetables, though every time I slid my tray to this veggie-filled hot spot with balls of greeny goodness overflowing from the warming dishes, I got the distinct impression that I…
We might be giants
When I was a little girl, no food seemed quite as fancy as tiny hors d’oeuvres served on big platters. The is probably largely because we only did hors d’oeuvres for special occasions (i.e. Christmas and New Year’s Eve), so the presence of tiny food meant happy holidays, late nights, pretty clothes and sparkling cider….
Ornamentary, my dear Watson
Well, my trusty local radio station has returned to all Christmas, all day long, and that means it’s time I give our humble abode a solid dose of holiday cheer to go along with all those festive tunes. When it comes to decking our place for Christmas, I always start with the basics and build…
Favorite things: Cinnamon rolls
Remember a few weeks ago when I talked about how Jared and I have been working toward healthier eating all around? This totally misses the bill. My tastes have definitely changed during the past few years, but there are certain cravings I just can’t seem to kick. I think everyone has that one food (please…
Here’s how it went down
Whew! Well, I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’d say the ol’ tummy is out of commission for the next few days (who am I kidding? You know the leftovers will be rolling out in a few hours). After all that prep and cooking time, we ended up with a Thanksgiving meal…
