Who Stole The Cookie From The Cookie Jar?

[September 30]

Richie did!  And I was sooooo annoyed that he did before I could snap a proper photo of this amazing banana bread. Growing up my mom cooked dinner almost every night, but she rarely baked.  It wasn’t her thing (still isn’t).  The one thing we’d bake together on a regular basis though was banana bread. [...]

Fall is in the Air

[September 29]

Did I mention, I LOVE fall.  I love everything about it.  I love everything autumnal.  Something about the crisp air (ok, so it hasn’t been so brisk, but we’ve had a few tastes) and the changing colors of the leaves, leaves me wanting hot apple cider, warm, cozy sweaters, and a big blanket to curl [...]

Annual Apple Weekend

[September 28]

With such a big family, it’s not often that each and every one of us is in the same place at the same time.  We do our best on holidays and birthdays, but every year, we make it a point to get together late in September or early in October out at my in-laws’ house [...]

Poof You’re A Pumpkin

[September 27]

Ok, maybe you’re not a pumpkin, but you should seriously consider eating some!  It’s fall everyone (a.k.a. my favorite season of the year) and a huge part of the fall feel is pumpkins (and all things pumpkin…read: pies, jack-o-lanterns, picking). The thing is, pumpkins aren’t just good for the soul, their good for the body [...]

Middle Eastern Meal with Moroccan Couscous

[September 24]

On Wednesday afternoon I needed to figure out what to make for dinner with the veggies I hadn’t yet cooked from what I’d bought at the farmer’s market last Sunday.  I still had some beautiful yellow summer squash and zucchinis (dark green and these amazing striped ones) along with some big yellow onions. I was [...]

A Trip To Coldspring and A Breath of Amazingly Fresh Air

[September 23]

Last week, my mom and I drove up to Coldspring with Avi to visit an old, old friend of ours.  Bobbie’s daughter was one of my first friends and though Danielle and I have gone our separate ways over the years, Bobbie and I have become close! Bobbie has an Uh-mazing house up in Coldspring, [...]

Guest Post: Liza Chrust

[September 22]

I know I usually give you a dessert recipe for my  blog posts, but recently I haven’t been baking so much as to try and get in better shape.   Just because I am being more careful with what I am eating and working out more doesn’t mean I have lost my sweet tooth cravings.  For [...]

Vaute Couture: Fabulous and Friendly

[September 21]

In the wake of fashion week I realize that once again life got in the way and I totally blanked on making the most out of the week.  There are tons of eco-friendly and vegan fashion lines that showed through the week and an amazing production of shows at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea called [...]

Sunday Brunch: Tofu Scramble

[September 20]

Most mornings we wind up with bagels on the go (whole wheat with tofu cream cheese of course), but on the weekends, I have the energy and itch for something more. Tofu scramble is one of those recipes that comes out different almost every time and that I’ve been working on for what feels like [...]
