As often happens to me these days, I had the urge to bake, but not much to work with. But if you have butter (and flour and sugar), you have everything you need! I’ve expressed my love of brown butter before. Brown butter has this nutty wonderful flavor and can transform a baked good or even [...]
Last week we picked up Rudy’s BBQ for dinner. Last minute plans had been made and I just couldn’t pull together a meal for 7 with what I had on hand. And I can’t meal plan fast enough to just run to the store and pick stuff up. I agonize over my meals. It might [...]
Have I really been this neglectful to my blog? 2 weeks without a post? I am a terrible person and I promise to be better. Things have been a little crazy around here getting our house ready to sell. My house has never looked better! We are leaving Amarillo and moving to Houston once we [...]
This kitchen. I always thought I wanted a clean white kitchen, but then I came across this while searching for kitchen chandeliers. I want to put a tiny one above my kitchen sink. It looks like that’s a 6 burner stove…no, wait…I am pretty sure it’s 8! The backsplash behind the stove is lovely. I [...]
These chalkboard place mats seem wonderful, versatile and oh so much fun. At an adult dinner party they could be used as place cards, and kids can use them to doodle during dinner. What am I saying? Adults can use these to doodle during dinner. And then after dinner you can use them to [...]
Like most things I have posted about I do not need one of these drink dispensers from Crate and Barrel. I just kinda want one. We would need to have quite a few outdoor parties this summer in order for one of these to be necessary. I like the idea of a dispenser with a [...]
If you know me, then I know what you’re thinking. ”An apron? Doesn’t she have enough aprons? I’ve seen them hanging in her kitchen. She doesn’t need another one.” Yes. I have too many aprons. I just really love this one. I love all of the aprons from Anthropologie, but this one looks like a [...]
I made this pasta dish back in November to prepare for Carson’s arrival. We had so many generous people bringing us meals for the first month, then we went home for Christmas, so I hadn’t had an opportunity to make one of my freezer meals until last month. If I had really been thinking, and [...]
Photographing dinner is hard for me. It is almost always dark, and so I almost always have to use flash or deal with the yellow lights in my kitchen. Pictures of our dinners never look quite right. That is my excuse for this not so great picture of the black bean soup I made with [...]
These sweet little pastry packages are lovely. Pre-made puff pastry makes this a dessert that requires very little hard labor in the kitchen. Assembling these pastries is not exactly a breeze, but they are worth it. I found this recipe hidden in Fine Cooking from August of 2010. It is the “Letter from the Editor” [...]
