I’ve been away for a while, much longer than the week off that I’d planned on taking. I needed to take a break from the pace of the FCI kitchens and my internship, to travel up north for family time and to reunite with old friends, to cook without pausing to take notes or click [...]

I feel the need to get one thing off my chest. Here goes. Really good granola, you know, the kind that has an amazing, crispy texture and those delicious nuggets where the oats and nuts fuse together with the baked goodness to form bits that you want to eat right out of the bag or [...]

Last night I enjoyed an easy Friday night of eating dinner at home and watching movies. Before we turned in, at around 11, I laid out my running clothes and set my alarm for the 10K that I had signed up to run in the morning.

March 8, 2009 – 1:09 pm

 

 
I got to know Amanda, who is now a dear friend, when we happened to be placed in the same college Spanish class during our sophomore year.

The biggest problem with keeping cookbooks in the bedroom is that some mornings, as soon as my eyes open, I’ll find myself with a rumbling stomach, gazing over at book after book containing endless possibilities for curbing my hunger.

It’s a working weekend in our household, which means that Brian was off to the office shortly after the alarm this morning, and I have been looking for ways to procrastinate on the elephant-in-the-corner project that is sitting in my laptop bag, smelling like a scary deadline.

Cranberries are mysterious fruits! These tart little guys are too often associated only with the gelatinous blob that graces the table come Thanksgiving. This is really a shame because they are a delicious addition to a variety of dishes, desserts, and baked goods.
