My fabulous friends over at DeLallo sent me product to use in this recipe today. We’re using their luxurious Extra-Virgin Olive Oil and their creamy, comforting Arborio Risotto Rice for this recipe!
Call me crazy, but I find the act of cooking calming. The act of stirring, cutting, mincing, slicing…it’s rhythmic and almost therapeutic. Read More
Let me start out by saying that I literally just did a happy dance across my kitchen floor because of how dang delicious these muffins are.
If you’re not a fan of sporadically jumping into a dance number with your oven mitts on, perhaps you should sit this one out.Read More
Yeah, you heard me. Extravaganza.
In my opinion, October 31 starts the Season of Indulgence.
First we have Halloween, the night of the organized begging for candy.
Next is Thanksgiving, where we eat all day and ceremoniously watch inflatable figures maneuver their way around the streets of New York City.
And then finally, Christmas; the day of family, feasting, and singing about a large man and his reindeer.
What a wonderful season we have ahead of us.Read More
Fun fact about me: I hate scary things.
Scary movies, haunted houses, freaky costumes…I can’t deal with it.
And the fact that people actually pay for these types of interactions simply boggle my mind.
I’m already way too anxious in real life to actually pay to get worked up over simulated stressful situations.Read More
I think it’s pretty clear that I have come down with a serious case of apple fever.
Did you catch my first apple recipe of the season? Did ya? Did ya?! You need to. I’ll stay here while you go check it out.
But you owe it to yourself to come straight back. Healthy Caramel Fudge Apple Slices are imminent. Read More
I know I’m going to make some people angry with this statement, but I seriously dislike pie.
My aversion to this dessert is rooted in my total and complete hatred of crust. I know there are some die-hard crust fans out there that think it’s the best dang part of the dessert. And yes, I know there are some who believe the correct crust recipe can truly make or break a pie.
IMO, crust always breaks pie.
I might have just had some unfortunate run-ins with poorly-executed crusts, but, as of yet, I’m totally convinced that crust is always dry, crumbly, and tasteless.Read More

I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge fan of routines.
I always wake up at 6 AM. I always eat the same breakfast (well, unless this is on the menu). I always drink a cup of green tea in the morning. I always make Mark breakfast.
And, most importantly, we always go to Trader Joe’s on Saturdays.Read More
