Something has been missing in my life. I’ll give you a clue.If you guessed ‘wine’, CONGRATS! YOU ARE RIGHT! I solved this problem with a glass (or two) of 2008 Pull Eighty Pinot Noir. Lemon-Pepper Pan-seared Chicken Breast with Artichokes, Kalamata Olives, Mushrooms and Tomatoes. Roasted Parmesan Broccoli. In an effort so save money, I [...]
I’m obsessed with checking the weather. I’ll admit it. I probably visit weather.com as frequently as I visit Google. It really does impact what I do during the day and dictates my “food mood”. Lately the weather has been all over the place. It’s hot. It’s cold. It’s rainy. It’s beautiful. It’s hot….MAKE UP YOUR [...]
Fig and Fontina Pizza Pie on Friday. Apple Bourbon Pie on Saturday. Apparently I like pie. I contemplated eating pie for dinner, however; I wanted to be balanced with my diet. Aka I wanted to make Chicken Pillard.Isn’t she a beauty? I’ve never owned a pie plate until last weekend! This is what I purchased [...]
I saw this recipe in Food and Wine and knew I had to make it. Not questions asked, this is my kind of a dish.It was creamy. It was succulent. It was spicy. And it was EASY! The perfect meal for a chilly evening. My fake dutch oven broke in the process but I poured [...]

I packed my overnight oats to go and gobbled them up ferociously as I assembled lunch, attempting to race time.Overnight Oats in a Take-Out Container: 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/2 [...]
Dinner: Lemon-Rosemary Marinated Chicken Breast. Lemon Scented Green Beans with Walnuts and Pecorino Cheese. Corn on the Cob. Russian Jack Sauvignon Blanc. I needed that wine more than anything tonight. While I was prepping dinner I dug into some hummus and carrots. The hummus had a few little pinkish spots that I scraped away and [...]
After work today I came home for Memorial Day weekend to spend time with my family. I was so thankful for this break because between graduation and the start of my internship I haven’t had time to relax and unwind. It will be a weekend filled with good food and even better company; my favorite [...]
After seeing last week’s Cook’s Mission competition, I knew I needed to get in on the game! I impatiently waited until Saturday when the ingredients were announced: Celeriac (celery root) and apples. I thought this would be a “no-brainer” because I have seen them prepared together before, and although I have never cooked with celeriac, [...]
On our last day in New York City, it rained, and rained, and rained some more. BUMMER! We had a free afternoon, and were lucky enough to be able to take a tour of NBC Studios, and see Mama Mia! Both were so much fun, and we were happy to be indoors and out of [...]
