The other day I bought a celery root at the farmer’s market (thanks to That Girl for the inspiration). I spent about 10 days trying to decide what to do with it, but none of the recipes in my cookbook collection really appealed to me. So, I turned to [...]
I went to Bikram yoga this morning for the first time in 4 years, and I didn’t feel like I was going to die! The first class I ever took, I had to sit down for a lot of it because the heat was just so overwhelming. In case [...]
We have made a ton of progress unpacking and settling in, but the living room definitely still needs a little work. We’ll get there… Yesterday we used our barbecue for the first time in almost a year. The 4th of July seemed like the most appropriate time to bring [...]
Don’t let your eyes deceive you, that is NOT a chocolate chip cookie wrapped around roasted vegetables. The kalamata olive crust does look a little unusual, but it’s much tastier than the average plain crust! This is definitely the season for roasted vegetables, and they shine here, tossed with [...]
I love caramelized onions and I really love mashed potatoes, but the thought of combining the two never crossed my mind until I saw this recipe. There I was, sitting on the couch right after work, agonizing over what to take with Thanksgiving with our friends this weekend, eating [...]

Are you one of those people that constantly ranks things, High Fidelity style? (If you have no idea what I’m talking about, read this then please watch the movie immediately). I am. I could sit here right now and list off my top 5 vacation spots, races I’ve run, [...]
I realize that what I did to this recipe is pretty sacrelig, and if Judy Rogers ever stumbles upon this blog, I know she’ll be highly disappointed. I used regular old button mushrooms and frozen peas when the recipe called for wild mushrooms and freshly shelled peas. And although [...]
