Somehow, despite the fact that I’m still not working, life got kinda crazy last week. Also, I’m sometimes a really lazy blogger. I could write a whole post about that. But I won’t. Even when I’m not posting, I am cooking. Here’s a brief look at what went down in my kitchen last week. Snickerdoodles [...]
As I’ve mentioned about a million times, Brian and I recently moved to a new apartment. I’d just like to share with you my old kitchen: It was a shared kitchen/dining area, but as far as the kitchen’s concerned, that was it. All our appliances, dishes, bakeware, glasses, mugs, pots, pans AND food were kept [...]

In an effort to find new vegetarian recipes to try out, I picked up my husband’s (and I guess now my) copy of The Victory Garden Cookbook by Marian Morash. The book [...]
Hard to believe that I’ve been married for a month already! I’m positive it was the fastest month ever. Things I’ve learned (food related) during my first month of marriage: I don’t have to do it all myself: This week’s menu is probably the one I’m happiest with yet and a large part of that [...]
I feel the need to explain what feels to me like the recent influx of Rachael Ray recipe reviews on this blog. Before I moved, I cut up over a year’s worth of Everyday with Rachael Ray magazines and filed the recipes I actually wanted to make in my recipe binder. Now the majority of [...]
Last week was the final week (I hope) of last minute menu planning and food shopping. I decided to make a recipe without reading it through and, as a result, found it to be less than I’d hoped for. The recipe, Mac ‘n’ Goat Cheese, is from Everyday with Rachael Ray. I liked it because [...]
