A Boy And Girl

We are still recovering from all the celebrations, but here’s a couple images from my phone that sum things up pretty nicely: Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

I’ve taken a couple thursdays off, but I finally had some fun stuff to share so I put together a post. -First of all, I made this stove top macaroni and cheese for the second time in a week and as I noted on my pinterest post, it’s dangerously convenient- one pot, no pre-boiling, any [...]

So, as I mentioned in the previous post, Abby and I checked out a local farm today for some fresh delights. Introducing Klein Farms. Whoops.. that’s my Jeep again. Silly me (LOL). Well, you can see some farm stuff in the background. Anyway, they got cheeses and milk products, and veggies and you know, the [...]

Josh is the best at planning trips for celebrations, and my 27th birthday was no exception. We stayed at the Hotel on Rivington, which was such a great part of the city to stay in. It’s such a funny shock to the system when you’re used to seeing this first thing in the morning, and [...]

In an effort to blog more regularly, I decided to start a series called “Things Worth Noting” Thursdays. One of my favorite bloggers has a series called “Bits Of My Weekend” and another favorite posts every so often on things she’s learned that week. I really enjoy those features so I thought I’d try something [...]

Our house is currently under renovation in 3 out of 6 rooms. This basically means Finn is always chewing on something he shouldn’t be (painter’s tape, trim remnants, or dust masks). My dad is the the official contractor, and he’s recently gotten a lot busier, so while some project are on hold, I’m trying to [...]

Potatoes may not seem like a summer-y food, but what better vehicle to enjoy the flavors of all the herbs in your garden? In my case, I chopped up chives, basil, parsley and sage, and tossed them (along with some garlic and olive oil) into the warmed pot that just boiled my cubed new potatoes. [...]

There are many reasons why I really want to love eggs with runny yolks. First of all, I hope to follow in my sisters’ footsteps and have my own chickens, and what better, fresher yolks could you get? They’re also so lovely and versatile, plus I’m seriously considering starting an egg cup collection, so I [...]

I am so happy to be using our grill and eating outside again! Tonight I made chicken and zucchini with a feta/yogurt dipping sauce, slightly adapted from this recipe, along with some tabbouleh. It was actually cooler outside than it was in our house, and it felt great to sit outside. Finn would really like [...]

Josh and I spent Easter visiting my sisters and brother and their families in Kentucky, and we had such an amazing trip. We are aunt and uncle to four little boys, and I cherish every minute we get to spend with them. It was only a 3 day trip, but we managed to fit in [...]
