- Rosemary Gin Fizz– also posted in Food, Photos
The roommate and I are on the hunt for specialty cocktail to serve at our wedding. It must be appropriate for autumn since we are getting married in October. This is perfect for me because one of my favorite drinks is apple cider and spiced rum, which we dubbed the “caramel apple” back in college. [...]

- Apple Bread…Delicious, but it’s no Cranberry.– also posted in Food, Photos
I can’t stop thinking about Thanksgiving and the fact that it will bring me back to my family for a short while. With these 12 hour work days and the exhaustion it leads to, I need something to look forward to. That is Thanksgiving for me. There are too many thoughts about too many stressful [...]

- Dutch Apple Pie– also posted in Food, Photos
About a month ago, we had a random cold weekend here in DC, and while most of the normal people chose to hunker down and wait it out, I decided it was a perfect weekend to visit the orchard. Not only did the roommate and I find the most amazing orchard with extra delicious apple [...]

- Key Lime Pie Ice Cream– also posted in Food, Photos, Uncategorized
How is it possible that I, the girl who craves ice cream constantly, have only made ice cream once this summer?! Although I still have 6 days of summer left, and 39 days until the official change over to fall, who knows if time will allow for more flavors to be tested. Thank goodness this [...]

- Cinnabon Cupcakes– also posted in Food
Sometimes you need cupcakes, and sometimes you need cinnabon. Let’s kill 2 birds with one stone! 2 birds with with 1 yummy, moist, cinnamony stone with cream cheese frosting…yum. Cupcakes are tasty, trust me, I agree with you there, but the roommate and I are only 2 people. So, not only do I make myself [...]

- Favorite Falafel– also posted in Food, Photos
Falafel is delicious…I think. I am very picky when it comes to falafel. Enough so that it makes me wonder how I know that I like falafel in the first place, because I can’t remember eating falafel that has met my standards of tastiness… until now. Of course the falafel we had at Sultan’s Market in [...]

- A whole new world…and it’s chilly– also posted in Food, Photos
Ice cream is my favorite…absolute favorite. I love it better than the roommate, who knows and accepts this fact. I probably should not have been allowed to order an ice cream maker, because this is a bad habit to feed. I ordered an ice cream attachment for my mixer (as I hang my head in [...]

- Christmas Candy– also posted in Family, Food, Photos
What says Christmas more than overly clear sinuses, cut up fingers, and lingering fruity and spicy smell that are still apparent 2 weeks after the fact? Nothing! As much of a pain as it was at times, it was completely worth it to carry on my grandmother’s tradition of making the Christmas candy. Along with [...]

- Cranberry Orange Bread– also posted in Food
The roommate thought I was a little crazy for wanting to make this one. Don’t worry, after all was said and done, he was convinced it was absolutely necessary. I do love specialty breads like banana and, especially around the holidays, cranberry orange bread. This has to be one of my absolute favorites. Unfortunately, there [...]

I am going to try to make the changes. Let’s start off with the last [...]
