Yum yum yum yum! I love pot pie!!! …Ahem. Pardon me. As you can tell, I am excited about this post. Honestly, I love pie in any incarnation. Peach pie, apple pie, pumpkin pie, spinach pie, blueberry pie, crack pie … I’m starting to feel a little like Bubba from Forrest Gump here, but...
Read more →My least- absolute LEAST- favorite part about cooking is the cleanup. I seriously loathe putting away dishes, or scrubbing, or even trying to play Tetris with our dishwasher. Yes… we have a dishwasher. I know, I shouldn’t complain… but I do anyway. I also have similar feelings towards doing the laundry, in case you’re...
Read more →Wow… where did the last month go? It’s already April, and here I am just about ready to stow away my down jacket and winter boots for good until next season. I for one cannot wait to kick winter out the door- in fact, I’m getting summer started early with a trip to Florida...

This might be one of the simplest, most delicious dishes out there. Only a few ingredients, most of which you’ll probably already have in your pantry. You can even use store-bought hummus if you don’t feel like making it, but as you saw in a previous post, even THAT’s easy to throw together in...

These staples will take their place among other time-honored traditions like returning all the ugly sweaters your aunt got...

I’ve been taking advantage of FreshDirect’s seasonal deals on citrus the past few weeks, ordering a crate of clementines, a few limes (one of which I used with the Chili with Chicken and Chipotles, and...
Read more →On a shopping binge trip to Woodbury Commons up in New York State this New Year’s Day, we stopped by the Crate & Barrel outlet (aka heaven) to see what kinds post-holiday deals we could get.

Read more →Nothing says “pre-game” like preparing a well-balanced, flavorful, home-cooked meal, right? Well that’s exactly what me and my two best girls, Emily and Devin, did last night in preparation for the trek to the housewarming of our other best girl, Morgan in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. I had found this recipe online at Real Simple from...
