My mom never ruined meatloaf for me. Thanks Mom! So I approached it with an open mind in my adult life and found a recipe my family loves. Paul Prudhomme – you taught me how to make something delicious! Cajun Meatloaf. If you’re moderately into football and the temp is under 60 degrees, this is […]
This sweet Angel has been up half the night and so have I. She ceremoniously climbed out of her crib two weeks ago and we haven’t slept a full night since. The toddler transition into a big kid bed can be a struggle, it certainly was not the cake walk we hoped. However, last night […]
“Look Mamma, look at my pieces!” she said. Filling her purse with first rocks then flowers. She wore her purse to school all week. ♥ just a little sweetness for this day
It’s cooking season! And just in case anyone is looking to pick up a cozy hobby, I wanted to share mine. I love food literature written between 1950 and 1970 — wine books, chef’s biography’s, and cookbooks. You may find this content helpful in a foodie crowd or on an interview or a first date… […]
This is something I have been thinking about lately. I read How to Not Give A Fuck for 24 Hours and thought- at least someone in my family lives up to this practice, Elle gets it ♥ I need to have more fun so I’ve been applying this outlook to my work day… jk… my non fireable […]
I’d totally be impressed if someone told me they can make a great curry. To me, it’s the mark of culinary agility and a party in a bowl. Curry is my new thing I want to do today. Last night was my first attempt. I chose a recipe from the Pioneer Woman- not my usual […]
You know that restaurant that everyone loves, it gets rave reviews and its right by your house- so you never go? The two places like that for me are Raoul’s and Uncle Boons. Both took me approximately 3-5 years to finally go to but now they are my only favorites. SO, here is my Uncle […]
Elle slept in on Sunday morning. Hallelujah! And this leisurely start inspired me to make a special breakfast: one that Elle could assist me in making- Yogurt bowls with fancy granola and chocolate coconut shavings. She is so eager to help at this age. Normally I am chopping and flames of grease are flying but […]
Ahhh, getting to know you Elle. I am singing this song in my mind: Julia Andrews and her chorus of children live in my head. It’s new since motherhood. It’s lovely actually. So- Elle is TALKING. All about the birds and the bees and the foods she eats. It’s the level of Italian I peaked […]
Quick post today, sharing some salad inspiration. It’s been 96+ degrees lately in NY and I am not allowed to apartment cook unless its under 80. So depressing. So lots of salads this week and my favorite is with peaches and burrata. SUPER easy: Arugula, endive, ripe peaches, red onion, a few great cherry tomatoes, […]
