Braided Roasted Red Pepper Bread

February 23, 2012

Truth. I am horrible at doing my own hair. I also haven’t gone to the salon since September so that complicates things even more. Therefore right now I essentially have two “styles.” They are messy bun and disheveled curls made via hot rollers. Kate Middleton wouldn’t be caught dead out in public with me. She’d [...]

Chive Risotto Cakes

January 19, 2009

The Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics: Fabulous Flavor from Simple Ingredients cookbook by Ina Garten has turned out to be one of my favorite Christmas gifts this year. Thanks CK! Almost immediately after opening it I started tagging recipes that I wanted to make. I soon realized that it would probably have been easier to [...]

Mac and Two Cheeses with Caramelized Shallots

November 19, 2008

Much like my cookies, I like my Mac and Cheese to be rich, thick, and creamy. This recipe is more like a thin and crispy cookie, but I can still appreciate it for what it is – a quick and easy baked macaroni and cheese dish with good flavors that a lot of people will [...]

October 21, 2008

On Sunday a wave of ambition overcame me and I decided that I would make homemade ravioli. Keep in mind that this was after I’d already made french toast for breakfast, and baked cookies for CK’s office.

October 9, 2008

August 13, 2008

All it does in Boston lately is rain every single day so this spicy and hearty recipe felt very fall and yet still appropriate when we made it. In his new cookbook, Food 2.0, the brilliant Charlie Ayers, former executive chef at Google, proclaimed that this dish was “slamming.” And oh how it lived up [...]

Erin’s Starry Night Baked Brie

December 10, 2007

In my world a party just isn’t a party without at least six kinds of cheese, and Baked Brie is the best of the best when it comes to pleasing your wine drinking friends. Don’t worry, as pretty and “impressive” as they tend to look all dolled up on your hostess’s serving platter it couldn’t [...]

Adventures in Grocery Shopping

November 2, 2007

Today I made the ridiculous mistake of going to Whole Foods without a list. My intention was to pick up some milk, onions, and something to make for dinner. Well $130 dollars later I came home with some surprising purchases. Yes, I impulse shopped till I dropped. Usually I do this sort of thing with [...]
