This is the healthiest thing I’ve made in a long…LONG time. After a big lunch and late afternoon snacking, I looked at the clock and could not believe it was nearly dinner time! I wanted something light and satisifying. I saw these strawberries at my grocery store earlier in the day and could not say no. I [...]
I love Valentine’s Day. I’m one of those people that wears red, decorates handmade cards with glitter and stickers, bakes chocolaty treats and smiles all day long. I never have a “Valentine” per say, but it is always a fun holiday. It gives me the chance to tell my friends and family how much they [...]
Confession: I am the most boring 20-something on the planet. I look forward to 5pm Friday so that I can cook. I also had to do some laundry and play with my cat….What does that mean? Should I be concerned? Because it was Friday, I decided to treat myself to some lovely scallops from my [...]
Aside from consuming copious amounts of cookies this week, I’ve also had some great foods and wine. I by no means want to bore you with every bowl of oatmeal or pita hummus sandwich (daily staples lately) but I will share a few highlights.

Where do I begin? This weekend has been strange. It was nice seeing old friends and exciting to hear where life has taken them. It was sad realizing that although somethings stay the same, many things change. It was reassuring to know that I have an idea of what I want to do with my [...]
I am proud to say that my parents were my very first dinner guests. They came up today to help finish my apartment. I feel so lucky and am beyond grateful. I made them dinner as they worked hard to hang blinds and photos.Fettuccine and Scallops with Zucchini, Summer Squash, Cherry Tomatoes in a White [...]
1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/2 cup water, cinnamon, 1 TBS almond butter. Constant Comment Tea. My almond butter stash needed to be replenished so I finally broke down and bought my very first jar of Barney Butter. I have seen this almond butter all over blogs and needed to give [...]
Bonsoir! (good evening) After a night of French dining, I’m starting to channel my inner Julia Child. The restaurant we went to for my mom’s birthday this evening was a small and quaint venue operated by a team from France. HOW HAVE I NEVER BEEN HERE?!?!?? There are no words for my first French dining [...]
