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.

Thankful, thankful, thankful
Happy Thanksgiving to all! It’s a busy day of cooking (and subsequent eating) up in here, and as much as I love a good bloggy day, there are some things you just can’t get from ye ole computer screen. But before I head back to the kitchen for another round, here’s a list of what…
Silly Crate & Barrel
Remember those puzzles on the kids’ page of the Sunday newspaper that asked you to “find the differences between the two panels” or “what’s wrong with this picture?” I loved that stuff (I also loved those egg-cellent egg jokes the Kansas City Star used to run; that’s some pretty priceless material if you asked me)….
The gobble gobble game plan
Well, the big day is almost here, and after browsing recipes, making lists and juggling logistics, we’ve landed on a game plan for Thanksgiving Day 2011. Can I get a gobble, gobble? As any good Thanksgiving-er knows, the menu is the key to the day. We went back and forth between tried-and-true tradition (there are…
