It’s Memorial Day Weekend, which we almost forgot since all days are the same now. The unofficial kickoff of summer weather, outdoor activities, and a fruit selection consisting of more than just apples. Hurrah! Of course we won’t be going to the beach to celebrate this year, or any family […]
Chicken and rice: we eat some variation on the theme at least once a week. This one gets its warm, comforting flavor from 2 of my favorite spices, turmeric and cumin (plus a few others). It’s a one pot meal (wahoo!), makes a lot as-is, and could easily be scaled […]
Happy Mother’s Day moms! To mark the occasion, I am posting something I used to bake with my mom when I was a kid. (I’m pretty sure cookies were the first thing she taught me to make. Priorities, right?) This was my favorite childhood cookie, and if you haven’t had […]
Two sunny days and suddenly it feels like things are getting better. I went for a run yesterday, David took Bernie for a long tongue-wagging walk, a good time was had by all. While we have at least a month before we do, going back to work is starting to […]
Fried rice is having a moment right now. What better way to clean out your fridge than to throw all your vegetables in a pan with some rice and call it dinner? It’s easy, it’s delicious, and it makes a little rice go a long way. Most recipes I see […]
Who would have known when I started this blog that within just a few weeks we would be here, quarantined and alternating between being SUPER PRODUCTIVE and binge watching ANYthing. It’s been just about a month of “staying in” and we know we have at least another month to go […]
During the winter holidays I love making toffee as a gift for friends and coworkers. It’s simple, delicious, and so satisfying to watch the sugary mixture bubble to the right consistency. I’ve been baking several times a week to keep myself occupied lately, and when it came to choosing Passover […]
In theory, we have the perfect banana-bunch-consuming relationship. I like them nearly green, and David likes them ripe. I eat one every morning on the way to work (or I did, you know, when we were still doing that) and David throws them in his evening protein shakes. Logically, we […]
This week was hard, right? Working from home AND homeschooling? Out of work and managing a budget? Working in healthcare, delivery, grocery (etc) and still showing up to help everyone make it through this? Whoever you are and whatever you’re dealing with: you’re doing great. Something we initially hoped could […]
How is everyone doing? I’ve been filling my extra time with baking, deep cleaning, baking, NTC workouts, cooking meals to stockpile in the freezer, baking, reading, and Hulu. I started experimenting with some muffin trials this week (results of those will be posted…eventually) and David is enjoying the side effects. […]
