Memorable Memorial Day Weekend

Mike and I have been debating whether I should separate recipe posts from life posts… I feel like since this is a cooking blog, I have to have a recipe pretty much every time I post. He says that sometimes I should just write about what I’m doing, and if [...]

Oikos Superfruits Giveaway

Thanks for participating, everyone! Kamaile, that’s you… hope you enjoy all this great stuff! I think this might be the very first giveaway this blog has ever had! Obviously Greek yogurt and pomegranate are two hugely popular foods right now because they’re healthy, and more importantly because they’re GOOD. Oikos [...]

A quick trip to Portland

I just got back from a few days in Portland with the fam. Although I’m pretty sure I’ll never live there again, I LOVE going back to visit. I had a ton of good food and went for some fantastic runs while I was there. All four members of the [...]

Cheesy Tomato Penne Bake

I have been eating a lot of pasta lately. And a lot of crackers and cereal and toast. Honestly, I think I’ve eaten more carbs in the past three months than in all of 2010. But there’s a pretty good reason…I’m 13 and a half weeks pregnant! Mike and [...]

Friday Favs

I don’t have anything for you here today… but if you head to Beantown Baker you can snag my recipe for an awesome vegetarian appetizer that I absolutely adore! Happy Friday!

Glazed Meyer Lemon Cupcakes with Candied Lemon Peel

My little sister came to visit for this fabulous 3-day weekend, and even though I was sick part of the time, we made the most it with a LOT of good food, a great run, and a batch of cupcakes. I got these last weekend but the week went [...]

Another San Francisco Weekend

Our friends came into town this weekend, which meant a FULL weekend in the city! I would have updated the blog sooner, but Sunday night I had some lesson plans to do and Monday night I was busy watching the Ducks almost win the BCS National Championship. I still [...]
