Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved a good awards show. The Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes … it didn’t matter which one. As long as there were red carpets and fancy dresses, I was in. The Golden Globe Awards are this Sunday night, and in honor of the occasion, I thought I’d mix…
Seared to perfection? Maybe practice makes perfect.
Every month when my trusty Real Simple comes in the mail, I start by flipping to the end of the magazine to check out the recipes featured in the back-of-book.
