Happy Valentine’s Day! This year we celebrated with brunch (again)! The flat is currently covered in pink, red, and gold. There are buntings, fringe, and glitter everywhere. I’m pretty sure it’s on my face right now. I was super into painting things gold and fringe, this year. I even gave the table a fringe-y skirt since the craft paper wasn’t wide enough to cover the whole thing. (Lookin’ good, table!) Eventually I put some chili…
I’m super into lemon lentil soup. I order it from Anita’s weekly. The truth is that I miss it as soon as my bowl’s empty. So I knew I needed to attempt to make this dreamy soup. And it turned out so tasty! It’s super flavorful with fresh dill and juice from two large lemons all up in it. So there you go! And, no pressure, but I totally think you should make French Bread to go with it. Trust me…
I hope you all the best holiday! We ate tasty-goodness, as is our tradition. We wrote out the menu for our feast Christmas Eve. It involved breakfast, daytime snacking, and a big dinner. I made us sweet and savory crepes for breakfast. Half with strawberry jam, strawberries, and brie, and the rest were filled with crispy proscuitto, gruyere, and spinach. I’m the sweetie to Jake’s savory. We’re a food ying-yang. I pick dessert and he picks…
Let’s put red wine and balsamic vinegar in our stew. Let’s eat cheesy biscuits. Let’s have sweet potato corn bread for dessert.

Sometimes I get worried. The other day I dropped a grape and it rolled under the fridge. It’s in Narnia for all I know. I’m a little worried about it. I just can’t find it. I’m a little worried about Christmas cookies. Should I have started making them already? Should I have dozens in my freezer?! But I’m not worried about these cakes. They are super-fun little individual cheesy patties. And let’s be honest, you…
Fromage for life. Seriously. So pretty much, I’m always hungry. Working on things like this makes my stomach growl more than usual. And there’s nothing quite like the classy snack of cheese and crackers. You can’t go wrong. Let’s toast to mini toasts. Let’s toast to cheese.

My new little casserole dish came with a caddy to keep it from ever needing a pot holder. It’s as if it’s saying, “I don’t want to meet your daddy, I just want mac & cheese in my caddy.” … when it sings along with Outkast, that is. If you are at a loss as to what to pair with BBQ-ed goodness, this is the stuff. Put this on a plate with ribs/pulled pork/BBQ chicken/vegetarian…
Please Note: I’ve made these again! Click HERE for the new post. I always want to put an “e” at the end of spinach. I don’t know why. I’ve never made savory muffins before. I don’t know why. But I do know why I love these guys. Spinach + cheese = win win. I made these to go with delicious Broccoli + Arugula Soup, that Joy the Baker posted a couple days ago. They were both delicious and went…
Yesterday I spent $7 on cara cara oranges to kick the sniffles that I got Friday out of my system. The rest of the day consisted of eating those oranges, watching the Law & Order man-athon and making this mac and cheese. I’d say it was a pretty good day. I accomplished things. But really though, how was your weekend? Are you the kind of person who gets excited about the super bowl or the…
