What in the world did we do before Google? Remember in the olden days, when we’d have a question about something and had to dig around in the encyclopedia (or Encarta on the computer, for the high-tech folks), the dictionary or our own noggins to find the information we were looking for? Now when I’m…
Hello, sandwich. Let’s do lunch.
Not every food of my affection requires a bunch of preparation or fanfare. Sometimes it’s as easy peasy as slapping together a few ingredients in a haphazard way and noshing on the delicious results. No frills, no tricks. Just things I know I like, stacked together in a way I know I like to eat…
Project NYT: Lemon cake
I’m attracted to recipes for a lot of different reasons. Sometimes it’s a certain ingredient that I’ve been itching to use. Sometimes it’s a slew of ingredients (a.k.a. whatever foods in my refrigerator need to be eaten ASAP) that convinces me to try something new. And sometimes it’s a new method of preparation that lures…
Hi ho, asparagus! ‘Tis the season
Asparagus is one of those vegetables that (prior to this pasta salad escapade) I only knew how to make one way: roasted in the oven with a dot of olive oil and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. It’s a simple method, but it’s always delicious and nearly foolproof. And it’s no secret that I…
Project NYT: Jordan Marsh’s Blueberry muffins
A few weekends ago, Jared and I went to my grandparents’ house for the evening. After dinner, my grandma, mom and aunt started talking about how my grandma prepared the delicious meal: how she roasted the vegetables, how she cooked the corned beef (it was a St. Patrick’s Day meal after all) and how she…
Amber’s Magic Salad
Sometimes our love for a particular food isn’t entirely explainable. Maybe it stems from a certain ingredient, the perfect texture or a favorite memory. Whatever the reason, it only takes a single bite to know when something has hit the spot. And once that spot is hit, the food adoration ensues. Amber whipped up this…
Whoa, baby: DIY lampshades
Last weekend, Jared and I skipped town and hopped over to Salt Lake City for a visit with our friends Daniel and Amber and their new baby boy. It was a great weekend trip. I brought home gobs of photos of the so-so-cute-you-can-hardly-believe-it little Levi, and poor Jared brought home a mean sunburn (courtesy of…
Roasted carrots: Simple? Yes. Delicious? Definitely.
There is simple but profound nugget of wisdom I’ve discovered during this long, snowy wintertime of root vegetable eating: All root vegetables (and arguably any vegetable, for that matter) taste better roasted. Something lovely and miraculous happens when those chunks of vegetable goodness take a dive in olive oil, followed by a slight sprinkling of…
I scream, you scream
Last week, I received a package from one of Jared’s grandmas that was filled to the brim with goodies: chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, Reese’s Pieces, Heath Bar chunks, almonds and more. Basically, it’s one giant excuse to do a whole bunch of baking. Don’t mind if I do. Well a few days later, Jared…
