I’m sure all you romantics, lover of hearts, and wearers of pink and red are well aware, but Valentine’s Day is coming. Like, soon. I’m going to have a new recipe or two for you before then, but in the meantime I wanted to call attention to a few recipes you might enjoy: –Ombre heart […]
ZOMG you guys. I’m so sorry. Work has been supercrazytown recently (I got to go to Europe, which was amazing, but also nuts, and then like 17 more things happened), and of course we had a Super Bowl party… we just didn’t decide to have it until like four days before. So… yeah. I’ll have […]
I think you’re all aware that I adore marshmallows. And I had been wanting to make my own for quite a while, but I was a bit intimidated by the possibility of sticky, gooey strands of sugar attacking my entire kitchen. It turns out my worries were unnecessary. It’s not that marshmallow making is a […]
How’s 2013 going so far? It’s been a tiny bit warmer in DC this week, but it’s still too cold for me. Especially when I’m running outside in the dark (with a supremely dorky head lamp). Perhaps some curry-spiced veggie burgers with grilled pineapple will help? I saw this recipe on Pinterest (it’s from […]
There’s a lot of football on these days, but if you’re like me, you may be looking for something a little less gluttonous to snack on while you scream at the TV. So, how about some spinach and artichoke dip, minus some of the fat? I found this recipe in an awesome cookbook I […]
So, Christmas is over. We braved the mall and ran in the snow and tried (and failed) to work off all that Christmas ham and macaroni and cheese and cranberry sauce (3 miles in the pool so far this week). But the holidays aren’t done yet! Even if you had to go back to work […]
We have a lot of bourbon in our house. It’s in our bar, in our pantry, on display and even in a painting on our wall. Apparently that’s normal for someone from Kentucky whose family runs a distillery… but it still seems a bit strange to me. I try to embrace it, though. I’ve made […]
OK, so it’s almost Christmas and I haven’t posted any cookies yet. I’m really sorry. I do have some fabulously delicious cookies for you today, though. I have made them twice, once with rainbow sprinkles and once with red, white and blue sprinkles. Red and green sprinkles would make them perfect for Christmas. Even though […]
I unabashedly love grilled cheese. But a year of grilled cheeses (and frozen yogurt with rainbow sprinkles) from the cafe on the first floor of one of the Senate office buildings wreaked havoc on my figure, so I needed to cut back. And now I work in the Pentagon, which is completely devoid of acceptable […]
