For the past couple of years, Jared and I have been on a quest to healthier eating. We started with revamping a lot of what we cooked at home (meaning we started cooking a lot at home instead of going out to eat all the time). We coasted comfortably on the sea of healthy home-cookin’…
Let’s get this ball rolling
Jared and I were browsing through the holiday aisles at Target the other day and came across this gem of a decorative item. It’s a little gray porcelain ball, about the size of a navel orange, and it’s rocking my favorite wintertime motif. Yep, I’ve got a thing for snowflakes (everything looks prettier with a…
Ready for some light reading?
It’s Saturday, and like a lot of folks who are puttering around their homes this weekend (one of the last non-busy weekends before holiday plans start filling in the social calendar), I’m starting the day with good intentions: Today I will tackle a project. And what project is that, you might ask? One that, if…
Here’s the dish
I’m a big believer that when it comes to things like food or gifts, half the points lie in the presentation. Just ask Jared, who kindly keeps his comments to himself when I spend just as much on gift wrap as I do on the actual present. It might seem a little nonsensical (or incredibly…
Countdown to Thanksgiving
Well, if that photo is any indication, I’ve entered full-on planning mode. Thanksgiving is a mere 14 days away. Eek! We’re celebrating the holiday with Jared’s folks, and though his mom does most of the Thanksgiving-ing, I’ve been searching for new recipes so I can contribute some foodie goodness, too. And that, my friends, means…
Viva IKEA!
Meatballs, anyone? I’m pretty sure the last time I dined cafeteria-style was in one of the dining halls during freshman year of college, so I suppose I was due for some slide-your-tray-to-the-desired-cuisine kind of eating. So when Amber and I were cruising through IKEA around lunchtime last week, we decided to swing into the IKEA…
So, I can’t sew. So what?
Does anyone remember the scene from Father of the Bride (the remake with Steve Martin) when Annie temporarily calls off the wedding because Brian gives her a blender for their eight-month anniversary? I can so relate. Not because Jared ever gifted me a blender (we’ve talked about it before; he’s not going there), but because…
Favorite things: Cookie scooper
It seems like some of the greatest finds are discovered through word-of-mouth. Whether it’s a great new gadget, a secret ingredient or a tried-and-true recipe, the all-time faves are way too good to keep to ourselves. So we share them with friends — and hope they’ll do the same. In the spirit of Julie Andrews,…
Stop and smell the birch trees
As much as I love restaurants and shopping — particularly in a new, fun city — there are some pretty amazing things you just can’t find until you step outside. Amber and I (and Sadie dog) headed to Millcreek Canyon yesterday and walked around until we found a trail that looked hike-able. After about a…
Bruges is for (waffle) lovers
I will never look at waffles the same way again, which is definitely saying something because nothing makes my tummy happier than homemade waffles for breakfast (Jared and I are big-time fans of Saturday mornings spent with waffles and Whad’Ya Know? on NPR because we’re nerdy, ahem, awesome like that). But the waffles (or lieges,…
