As part of his New Year’s resolutions, Michael has decided he will try and make one meal per each grocery cycle.  However, I didn’t know his wishes when I bought groceries this last week so he didn’t get to pick out a recipe he wanted to try.  Not to undermine his resolution, I decided to [...]

I neglected to mention in my previous post about our dinner at One if by Land, Two if by Sea that we received a special treat from the chef.  Everyone enjoyed a small sample of his potato and leek soup accented with dark chocolate and chili oil.  At first glance, all of us thought it [...]

While I stuck to a traditional dinner for Christmas day, I did mix it up a little on Christmas Eve with an all appetizer feast.  Chorizo-Filled Dates and Ham and Cheese in Puff Pastry were a hit paired with marinated mushrooms and artichokes and mixed olives.  My mom and Michael raved about the Ham and [...]

My mother came out to visit us for Christmas and to top off her trip, we decided to splurge on a very decadent meal for her last night in the city.  We went to One if by Land, Two if by Sea and it was spectacular!  I won’t bore you with all the details, but [...]

I made Ambrosia Macaroons for Christmas.  These were great and very easy to make.  Happy Holidays!

Michael recently bought the Personal Trainer Cooking for his Nintendo DS so that he could learn how to cook a few meals on his own.  He decided to make Sauerbraten (this is close to the recipe he used) for his first dish, but he hit a slight snag.  The roast I bought was a little [...]

It’s the weekend and we had a full day of cleaning the house and running errands to deal with today so we decided to buy our breakfast from McDonald’s.  I noticed something a little scary on the wrapping of Michael’s burritos though.  Notice the label below?  Interesting, especially since his burritos and my sandwich tasted [...]

As you can imagine, I’ve collected quite a few recipes since I created this blog.  I have a shelf full of cookbooks tagged with post-it notes and a binder full of recipes I’ve found online or torn out of magazines.  There are also a few of my own scrawled out on notebook paper.  While preparing [...]

I hope that everyone enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday.  I know I did!  Michael and I had a delicious dinner though we had way too much food for just two people.  I mostly stuck to a traditional dinner with the classics like my mom’s stuffing, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie, but I did venture out [...]

Sometimes I procrastinate and today was one of those times.  Remember I had mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I wanted to enter another recipe contest?  Well, I finally entered my recipe this morning with only an hour to go before the deadline!  I’m not going to publish the recipe on here though just [...]
