creamy bacon sandwich

Alright, so this sandwich is horribly unhealthy.  I was going to rock the cucumber and chivey cream cheese sandwich, but when I pulled out the cucumber in my fridge..it was growing!  So I improvised.  With bacon.
This sandwich would be really good for breakfast.  I think it would work better on a bagel, even.

fried pb&j

What happens when you promise a weekly sandwich post, run out of ideas after three weeks, and then don’t even manage to get any sandwich materials at the grocery store?
You fry a peanut butter & jelly sandwich.  It’s actually quite good, once you get past the expectation that you are biting into a grilled cheese.

During one of my teenage birthdays, my mom helped me throw a tea party for my friends.  My friends and I got all dolled up in summery dresses and funny hats, and it was a blast!
In planning, we tried to make it as fancy as possible, with all of the little candies and pastries and [...]

what november is all about

After being spoiled by all of the quirky, well-priced groceries at Trader Joe’s for the past 3 years or so, I am seriously hurting without it.  I know it’s only a grocery store, but there were a lot of things that I purchased regularly there that I can’t get at the “normal” grocery stores.  I [...]

beefy goat?

I remember back when I was maybe 12, I had a crush on this guy in my class who was from France.  I don’t remember a thing about him except that he was French, and that I stole his sandwich idea.  So you may feel free to pretend that this is classy and foreign and [...]

turkey on rye

As a grad student, I don’t have a ton of money for eating out all the time.  (And, honestly, I can’t even figure out how I managed that as an undergrad.  How I miss my more-than-weekly Chipotle trips!)  Most of the time, I come home to eat.  Living close enough so that I can do [...]

Today I got really ballsy and decided to make a real pumpkin pie out of real pumpkin that I picked a couple weeks ago.  Now you can too!
Start out with a pie pumpkin or two.  Pie pumpkins are smaller than your average carving pumpkins.  Here’s some scale:

Now, cut the top off of that pumpkin and [...]

pre-work partying

For my last few days of freedom before beginning work, this weekend has been pretty incredible.  I still feel like I should find something really fun to do with the rest of today.  Maybe I’ll get my spin on.  I am really looking forward to starting work tomorrow!!
Yesterday’s spinning class was fantastic!  ..very fun and [...]

scary delicious

I really wanted to make some peanut butter cookies last night. You know when there’s something you just have to have? Yeah. Well, I wasn’t completely impressed with the last PB cookie recipe I tried. I mean, they weren’t bad, but they just weren’t amazing. I stumbled upon this recipe [...]

happy day!

I guess the interview yesterday went pretty well because..I got the job!! I couldn’t be more pleased. (That’s a lie; it’s a 40 minute drive each way, but it’s not a huge deal.) I’m really excited about the position, and I hope to start this week or next.  The best part is [...]
