If I purchase any animal protein besides dairy or eggs, it’s usually seafood. We don’t eat a lot of it, but it makes an appearance on our table at least monthly. I always struggle to come up with original recipes, but seafood is especially difficult. I don’t have that much experience with it and I [...]
It’s no secret that soup is one of my favorite foods to cook and to eat. Soup is one of the few things I look forward to during this time of year (other things: wearing sweaters, drinking more tea and the holiday season). Soup makes an appearance on our table at least once a week [...]
It’s hard to believe that a week from today most of the Christmas festivities will be over. I feel like this season has been both long and short at the same time and I really wish time would stop for awhile so I could come close to catching up with all of the things that [...]
Another sign that Christmas is on the horizon? I’ve got cookies on the brain. It just occurred to me that I don’t have any cookie swaps on my calendar this year and I had such a good time at the 2 I attended last year that I think I’m going to host one in January [...]
Last week’s highlights contained links to a number of gift guides. Since then even more have appeared in my Reader and, even though I really need to stop spending money, I’ve really enjoyed reading them. There are some really neat ideas out there!

Since we alternate spending Christmas and Thanksgiving which each set of parents, Brian and I usually have everyone’s shopping almost done by Thanksgiving so we can bring them with us when we visit (we opened presents with my parents on Saturday night). Nevertheless, I get [...]
Last week’s highlights were intended to help you plan and execute a perfect Thanksgiving day meal. I’m hoping that by this point in time you have all your plans for Thursday figured out. I’m really excited about Thanksgiving though, so I couldn’t resist writing another highlights post on the topic. Impress the others at your [...]
This could have been an incredibly long post. I can’t think of a more “foodie” holiday than Thanksgiving and my Reader has been inundated with posts about turkey, side dishes and pies. It makes me a little sad that I’m not hosting (then again, yesterday’s attempt at an apple pie makes me think maybe it’s [...]
This week, Google changed some of the options in Reader. Usually I’m a cheerleader for website upgrades; I’m one of the few people who gets really excited about whatever new features Facebook has and I always upgrade to the newest version of sites as soon as I can. The latest version of Reader, however, is [...]
