- 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 [...]

Things I have not been doing: updating my blog, spending any time in the kitchen Things I have been doing: Teaching, moving, hosting visitors, packing, unpacking, working That list really is backwards from what I would like to be doing. I am going to try to make the changes. Let’s start off with the last [...]

- Potatoes Au Gratin– also posted in Food, Photos
Sometimes, when life gets a little busy grocery runs don’t happen. When I don’t get to the grocery store, we are left with no protein in the house. This means it’s potatoes and salad for dinner, which I have no problem with. Many times I don’t understand why I am not a vegetarian, and then [...]

- New Pancakes– also posted in Family, Food, Photos
Ever since the roommate’s mom showed us the real magic of the farm cookbook, I have reached the point in my life where I don’t know if I can ever eat regular pancakes again. Despite our excitement, we haven’t had time to actually try anything from the cookbook, but I had seen this recipe, and it scared [...]

- Take the good with the bad– also posted in Food, Photos
I would like for my first update after quite a hiatus to be something amazingly delicious, but it just can’t happen. Life has been so busy that I haven’t had much time for cooking recently. Last night was pizza night, and with a quick trip to trader joe’s it all went down the tubes. I [...]

- An Agua Fresca Trend– also posted in Food, Photos
I have had multiple recipes for agua fresca saved in my bookmarks for the longest time, and recently I finally decided to give one a try. What a good choice! This one is strawberry vanilla, but I can’t wait to explore other fruits. I made this right after we finished off the pitcher of strawberry [...]

- And Life Goes On– also posted in Family, Food, Photos
Where did summer go?! I can’t believe we are halfway through July already! Life has been so busy, and I am ready for some relaxation time. Unfortunately , that won’t be happening anytime soon. Summer school, bridal shop, holidays, family visits, travel plans, lesson planning, beach trips, finishing multiple projects what a whirlwind! Not to [...]

- Reasons For Frozen Bananas– also posted in Food, Photos
I have heard of so many situations where bananas need to be frozen, and so many uses for these frozen bananas, but I have yet to hear of a reason convincing enough to actually make me freeze them. That is, until I decided I needed a banana shake. From now on, for every batch of [...]

- Roasted Feta– also posted in Food, Photos
As I mentioned before, I have an extremely loving relationship with cheese. That could quite possibly explain my love of the roasted feta appetizer that they serve at Vasilis. When I moved to Maryland almost 2 years ago with the roommate my new coworkers introduced me to Vasilis right away. It is right across the [...]
