Please Welcome Elissa of 17 and Baking

April 27, 2009

My friend Erin emailed recently alerting me to a program at Dine and Dish that paired new food bloggers with a more experienced counterpart. This mentoring gig sounded like a fun project so I signed up. Kristen ended up matching me with Elissa of 17 and Baking. I’ll admit that I was a little nervous [...]

The Animal Crossing Kitchen

March 20, 2009

After several months of diligent game play and a little help from my sister Nicole, Carrie, and my cousin Amanda, I’ve finally managed to collect all of the items I needed to make an Animal Crossing: City Folk kitchen. Adorably enough the sink, microwave, stove, and blender all turn on and off, and I can’t [...]

Could Erin Cut it as a Housewife in the 1930s?

I guess I should have also fibbed about cooking in [...]

Grammy Eggs

My grandmother has chickens and they live a fabulous Disney-esq life full of table scraps, grain, and white bread complete with a fancy chicken coop and a big grassy area to run around in. In general these chickens probably have a quality of life similar to your pet cat. If you spend the night at [...]

Clarissa Cooks it All

April 17, 2008

If you’re my age (shh…27) and you grew up watching Nickelodeon when it had something other than Sponge Bob Square Pants and Rugrats reruns then you probably remember a fab little show called Clarissa Explains it All. Melissa Joan Hart portrayed a precocious teenager with a funky fashion sense and a suitably bizarre family. And [...]

Diva in the Kitchen

April 14, 2008

Hänni will mercilessly ridicule me for this, but my guilty pleasure Mariah Carey let the Oprah show take a look inside her refrigerator and this video made me positively giddy. Apparently Mariah keeps her body “touchable” by eating copious amounts of sliced strawberries and veggie soup. She also bans employees from keeping fatty foods in [...]
