These sweet and savory sandwiches remind me of a restaurant that used to be in Austin called Bombay Bicycle Club. It was a special place we’d go for birthdays and I’m pretty sure that I almost always ordered the monte cristo. Theirs was full of meat and cheese, deep fried, covered in powered sugar and [...]

The more I cook, the more I realize how much I absolutely love cooking comfort food. And eating comfort food. I really love eating comfort food. And I’ve been doing a lot of it lately. This meatloaf has been one of our favorites. Covering your dinner with bacon can’t be a bad thing. This meatloaf [...] In my dreams I am someone who eats nothing but good-for-you foods, mainly fruits and vegetables, that are all beneficial to my health and do things like make my skin glow, provide me with all my daily vitamins, and will add years to my life. I grow all my own vegetables and get my eggs [...] When my dear, sweet sister Sarah came to help with Betsy right after she was born, she made us dinner. She made these incredible vegetable enchiladas with sweet potato and black beans. They were delicious. The really wonderful thing about them was the goat cheese. I would’ve never thought to do that, and I would’ve [...] We’re moving in 12 days! I’m starting to wonder why we thought moving 7 weeks before my due date was a good plan! I’m actually very excited, just anxious and stressing a bit. My sweet mom came down and helped me for a few days last week. We didn’t pack the entire kitchen, but that [...] The last month has been a crazy one, and the next two aren’t going to be any different.

Eat here if you ever get the chance. It’s a French-Vietnamese cafe, which may sound strange to you (it has to a couple people I’ve told about my meal) but the marriage translates into delicious bánh mì, bún and pho [...] When it comes to pesto, I tend to think only of the basil and pine nut variety. This one is my favorite. But there are so many combinations of herbs and nuts that you can use to make pesto! I find basil and pine nuts to be on the pricier end of the spectrum, so [...] The last meal I made from Martha Stewart Everyday Food was just ok, so I was a little apprehensive about this one. It sounded like it had to be delicious, though. Zucchini and fresh corn tossed with ricotta cheese, pasta and fresh basil. It was a nice, light dinner served warm, but an even tastier [...] My gnocchi fell apart between boiling and pan searing with browned butter. It made for a gooey mess of a meal. They tasted good. But what wouldn’t after being tossed in butter and fresh thyme and topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese? After my failure I started reading a little more about gnocchi and came [...] |
