Happy Valentine’s week! My husband and I don’t plan on doing anything, as usual (I’m biased towards telling him I love him every day, versus once a year ;)) but my high school friend from Tennessee is in town! We’ve been hitting a lot of great spots in Los Angeles that Cobalt and I haven’t […]
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday season. Cobalt and I didn’t visit our families on the East Coast this year but instead enjoyed quality time together at our new home in Los Angeles. We watched a lot of movies, enjoyed walks around our neighborhood, decorated Ginger Bread Houses (Cobalt […]
As I mentioned in my previous post, last weekend was so fun, having our friends over to see our new house and sharing food with them. Since we opened our home all day long, we planned three meals to share with our guests. In the morning we served brunch: mini quiches, fruit, blueberry muffins, cherry hand pies, orange […]
I don’t know about you but I happen to love fruit pie for breakfast. Paired with a scrambled egg and a glass of milk, a piece of pie makes a pretty hearty first meal of the day. You can argue the high sugar content, yes. But everything in moderation, right? And actually, these mini pies […]
I love one pot meals. And I love Mac & Cheese. This super simple recipe for cheesy pasta with kale is SO delicious and a much healthier alternative than the artificially flavored, chemically colored box of neon orange mac ‘n’ cheese. It’s just as easy to make, too! You only have to clean one pot […]
Autumn has been upon us for a month now… Yet Los Angeles does not feel a bit like crisp, crunchy leaves or pumpkin spice lattes… Just the other day Cobalt and I visited the beach to enjoy the sunny blue skies and cool breezes. I doubt anyone out East where we moved from is doing that […]
I’m super proud of myself! Tonight, after two weeks living in our new house in Los Angeles, I finally broke down and was intentional about setting up a GREAT blog post. I’ll admit: I’ve gotten really lazy the last year, taking pictures of my inventions and such with my smart phone (Windows Nokia Lumia 920; […]
Today I bring to you the most delicious and EASY Fettuccini you’ll ever eat. Watch this video to learn how! I didn’t use smoked fish, just extra vegetables (red peppers, broccoli, green beans and peas) and diced chicken. But it was amazing. Also, Jamie used reduced fat milk for the Alfredo sauce which makes it […]
Call me crazy, but I had no idea what tomato pie was until this summer. A Workshare at Crabtree brought it to lunch one day, which was my first time to taste it. Let me tell you – it was amazing! Creamy, tomatoey, cheesy…it was essentially lasagna sans noodles in a crust! My recipe is different […]
It seems like only yesterday that I was picking blueberries with my friend. And now, sadly, the season is over! Fortunately, there was still had a good amount of blueberries left in my freezer to make Cobalt yet another birthday pie! (aaand two years ago) I used my recipe for Easy Oil Crust from an Apple Pie […]
