quarantine cuisine
Hello! Despite feeling rather anxious last night, I feel much better today (remember that emotional roller coaster I mentioned? Welcome to the ride!). So much better, that I felt like writing a post. So! What have we been eating during this pandemic? Pretty good stuff, if I do say so myself 😊 There’s been comfort […]

lately
So, I know I said I was ‘back’ on the blog but…well…umm…I got too busy. Terrible excuse, but really true. Starting a new job is hard! I knew that it would take me a little while to find the extra brain-space for the blog, but I didn’t anticipate how long it would actually take. Come […]

weekend breakfast scramble
Is there anything better than taking the time for a slow, leisurely breakfast? We’re talking coffee, flowers, sunlight streaming in through the windows, combing through the paper for the comics interesting articles, etc., etc. Obviously, this only happens on weekends (if at all). However, tomorrow’s Friday, so despite my inexcusable absence from the blog this […]

a day in italy
The trip recap continues! The day after the big party, we decided to take a little road trip to our favorite Italian border town, Susa. Originally founded by the Gauls, Susa eventually became a part of the Roman Empire, and remains of the Roman city are still found in the town’s central square. It’s small […]

france, part iii: la fête
The evening of the party, we had a slight change in weather. Instead of the brilliant sun we’d had the whole week, the sky was suddenly flooded with big, dark clouds and a cool fog covered the mountains. Luckily, my dad had sprung for a cabin big enough to hold us all, just in case […]

fresh and fragrant pasta salad
Growing up, I hated pasta salad with a passion. I was not a big fan of mayonnaise, and my only concept of pasta salad was of the creamy, slightly sweet, macaroni variety (I’m sorry, but yuck). These days, however, I’ve found a happy medium; a salad that’s crunchy, creamy, healthy, and insanely delicious, thanks to […]

easy and delicious spring pasta
Hello and happy Monday! I didn’t actually plan this post, but as I was whipping up dinner last week, I thought it might be fun to share with you my favorite, super-easy pasta dish that I make as soon as the weather starts to warm up (though, to be honest, we eat this all winter […]

affogato
Coffee… Ice cream… Drooling yet? Well, just you wait. Today’s recipe is probably my easiest one yet (only two ingredients!), but that does not mean it is any less delicious. Two ingredients might seem like something that’s not even worth turning into a post, but I disagree. Affogato is one the easiest and most elegant […]

lemon yoghurt cake
Remember how I said we never get snow days? Well, what do you know. We had ANOTHER one yesterday! Unfortunately, I was under the weather, so I did little else besides work from my couch (hence the lack of blog post). But today I’m making up for it with a great, easy recipe that is perfect […]

steak and guinness pi
No, that is not a typo in the title above…it’s National Pi Day! Pi Day, celebrated on March 14th (3/14), celebrates the mathematic symbol used to represent a constant. Pi, or “π”, is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, which is approximately 3.14159. Now, I’m not great at math. Never […]
