So, my adventure in cooking dinner last night was limited to the fastest thing I could make from my meager groceries because Todd had class. Well, it was an egg sandwich – I know everyone is very impressed, but it was better than MC, as it was known when I grew up (macaroni and cheese). If you […]

25 Hours You Say…
“Worky-work; busy-bee.” (Watch “Overwhelmed”) Has anyone else seen that commercial? This is me for over a week now, except I really am busy – really, really busy. I vaguely remember watching a video in middle school about a man that lived in a cave for over one year to study human circadian rhythms – our […]
Experimenting with Quiche
Monday night turned into a much longer experiment than I thought. While at work, during lunch, of course, I had a brilliant idea: “Make a quiche for dinner! It is inexpensive (a huge consideration at this point in my life) and I have the ingredients in the fridge. I would use milk, so it was lower […]
Quiche
Last night I made quiche; I am exhausted. More later.
A Tribute to Nonnie and Meat Grinders
I have had a craving for this egg salad, the only egg salad I will eat (ever), since Easter. I love this recipe beacuse Nonnie and I would make it on Sunday afternoon out of leftover dyed eggs and eat mass quantities on white bread. Yum. I finally made Nonnie write the recipe […]

We hope you enjoy the weekend and the food! Grilled Pork Chops with Glazed Onions 2 Boneless pork chops, 1 – 1 ½ […]
Minestrone Soup
I have made this a few times, most recently for dinner on Easter (very festive, I know). I realize that this is not a traditional minestrone, mostly because Dad and I debated the finer points and as it turns out, I am wrong. However, Todd and I are pretty sure its perfect! I wanted to […]
Piccata Pesto
Ok, so on my lunch break, I am contemplating the finer points of a piccata dish and how I can convert that into a pesto sauce. Piccata is a sauce served with meat, made of lemon, wine, capers, and parsley. Pesto is comprised of basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Obviously, the […]
The Beginning
I have newly discovered, and become obsessed with, food blogs. I realize that I am a late bloomer, but they have nonetheless inspired me to start my own. In this saturated environment of fantastic writers and supremely talented photographers, I do not believe that mine will standout, but that it will be an outlet for […]
