A friend of mine mentioned my previous pizza post and it made me crave some homemade pizza. Considering pizza is my favorite food, I can’t believe it has been a whole year since I made it at home! Anyway, I wanted to try a slightly different pizza dough, not because I didn’t like the last [...]
Sports Fan and I love steak. We’ve been to most of the top steakhouses in the city and when we were in law school we used to cook steak all the time. For some reason we’ve gotten away from it. I guess because we can’t compare to the 1,000 degree ovens at Wolfgang’s or Bobby [...]
This is like the internet age’s “when life gives you lemons….” Or the Irish Catholic “count your blessings,” but without the guilt.

1. My bedspread.
2. My favorite summer shoes.
3. The perfume my husband got me as a gift. For no reason.
4. The fuzziest, snuggliest couch blanket.
5. My blackberry and my laptop. I love them. And [...]
One of my favorite bloggers, Julia, from Here be Hippogriffs, had to admit her first born son, Patrick, to the hospital last night for a bacterial infection he has been suffering from for over a week. She is an amazingly smart, funny and talented writer with the most adorable kids (Patrick, about to turn 7, [...]
After that delicious papparadelle recipe, I had a tough act to follow. It is no secret that Sports Fan and I love BBQ. Unfortunately, living in NYC, we can’t have a grill and so we have to find other ways to enjoy the taste of summer. I was looking through the Cooking Light Ultimate Summer [...]
And now for something a little more cheerful, eh? Sports Fan said that this was the best meal I have ever made. Seriously! And I have to say it is pretty awesome. I got the recipe from a colleague and it seems like it came originally from Epicurious. It is so tasty and a gorgeous [...]
Oh, hey. A post with words that aren’t preceded by dry or liquid measurements. How’s that for an idea. I’ve been in a funk, Dear Reader. Changes are coming my way and I do not like it one bit. I’ve been struggling with whether to write about them here. It is still probably not the [...]
Summer is my favorite time of year, not just because the weather is nice (but thank God for that). I love the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables. Tomatoes are my absolute favorite fresh veggie. I love vine ripened tomatoes with a little salt. Mmmm. I can eat them like an apple.
Two recipes I have [...]
I’m learning that I’m terrible at weekly cooking assignments and deadlines. I joined Craving Ellie in my Belly weeks ago thinking it would inspire me to cook more and cook healthy meals. You are probably scratching your head thinking about when you saw a Craving Ellie post. You haven’t. The only Craving Ellie recipe I’ve [...]
Last week I went to my first cooking class at De Gustibus cooking school. It was almost completely spur of the moment because the spring classes were coming to an end, but once I saw who the Chef was for Wednesday was, I plunked down my credit card lickety split.
De Gustibus is a recreational cooking [...]
