Yesterday it rained. So did the 4 days prior. I'm cold. Clearly craving ice cream makes perfect sense. I was unleashing my neverending-winter aggression on the contents of my freezer, throwing things left and right, and hunting - seriously hunting - for the container of ice cream that I knew just had to be in there. But when I found it instead of being happy and just grabbing a spoon I sat for a moment trying to figure out what to put on it. We have a lot of food in our house but nothing ... continue reading...
From the iPhone
Once upon a time I entered into a candy shop. I went so that I could use their restroom, but stopped in my tracks when I saw this and had to take a picture on my iPhone: I think the time has come for me to start buying stock in bacon. The end. ... continue reading...
Toasted Marshmallow Cinnamon Rolls
One thing is for certain: I am in the middle of a marshmallow crisis. I don't know how I got here even. I never liked marshmallows; while all of my friends pined and performed tricks for the white fluffy sticky treats I was eyeing the sour cream and onion potato chips. The sausage balls. The queso dip. But marshmallows? No please. Now here we are with two marshmallow-infused recipes in the past week and one more today. It's like looking in the mirror and seeing a stranger. I don't ... continue reading...
Famous Nate
Last night we had dinner. We had dinner and I was salivating immensely in between bites. We had a dinner of po'boys with homemade remoulade. And y'all, that remoulade made my mouth so happy! I actually considered drinking it. I wish I could lay claim to said remoulade, but only Nate knows the magic. Maybe if we ask him nicely enough we can get him to share the secret recipe on here, right? Right Nate? Nate? Happy hour shmappy hour, I'm going to go eat the rest with a ... continue reading...
Ancient Grain Salad with Honey Lime Vinaigrette
I know I bake some pretty ridiculous things for this blog. And let's just say that my waistline has more than paid its dues for said baking. We actually do eat pretty healthfully though. Sometimes. Most of the time. At times. Occasionally. Here's the big not-so-secret: I actually love vegetables and really only like fruit when it's baked into sugary buttery oblivion with things like chocolate and glazes. Actually, let me rephrase: I love fruit when it's at its peak ... continue reading...
Hot & Bendy
Let's talk about hot yoga for just a minute. I've wanted to do it for as long as I've known about it, but have always let finances and lack of time keep me from it. Oh, and that little thing called 'fear'. Yes, fear was also a factor; even though I used to run 7-8 miles every day and do an hour of weights and 30 minutes of stretching afterwards, I was petrified of hot yoga. All of this changed yesterday. I gathered up my courage and went after hot yoga like white on rice. Or yellow ... continue reading...
Fully Loaded Brownies
There's a fire starting in my heart, it's reaching a feverpitch and it's bringing me out the dark... Oh, sorry. I didn't realize anyone was listening to me sing...how embarrassing... With these brownies you don't just almost have it all...you CAN have it all! It was one of those rainy afternoons, deep into that coma-like pre-nap states, and I was wishing for brownies. Brownies with toffee. Brownies with white chocolate chips. No, make that dark chocolate ... continue reading...

Homemade Garlic Pickles
I find lately that I've craved reading books and articles of the "Do It Yourself" nature. Make your own pasta. Bake your own bread. Grow your own meat animals. Live off the land in your own backyard. How to build your own brick pizza oven. How to not kill flowers. How to survive on little sleep. How to paint your house on the cheap without actually paining it. You know, the usual stuff. So when I came across a lonely cucumber I knew what my next Google search would bring ... continue reading...
Last Supper
Does anyone ever get asked the whole "what would you have for your last supper" question? I know I've had that asked in many a new group setting where I just get befuddled and flustered because there are SO MANY options that I'd like to include in my last meal on earth. And so I've decided that, since this week there were an extraordinary amount of delicious foods being made in Bloggerland, I want to announce my dishes for the first course of my last supper. Elle's Cosmic ... continue reading...
Chocolate-Dipped Candied Orange Peel
I have a confession to make. I lied. Over the Christmas season there were some bloggers who talked about loving the orange-and-chocolate combination and, in the interest of remaining neutral, I said I liked it too. But at the time that was a lie. I'm sorry. It will never ever happen again. Why? Two reasons: lying is bad and I've found that every time I say I don't like something I end up loving it about 2 months later. But mainly because it's bad... I look back on poor, sad, ... continue reading...
Maui 2011: The Details
That's right, the Maui posts are coming to a close (sniff, sniff). If you're ever on the island these are the things we ate, did, and places we purchased stuff from. I've made notes next to the ones that I didn't write specific posts about and have included the links to the places I DID blog about. I miss being there but am so happy to share our trip with you guys! Where we stayed: Ka'anapali Ali'i - By far one of the best places to stay in Maui. The beach right outside of these condos ... continue reading...
