Life is crazy busy right now, so I've got to keep it short. In a nutshell: I love pancakes, I love apple, and oooh do I love cardamom. So I put 'em all together and I must say, this recipe really works. Little chunks of apple in fluffy, buttery pancakes, scented with lemony spicy cardamom… [...]
Watermelon, Feta, and Arugula Salad
Thursday, May 27, 2010 in Cheese, Chicks Dig It, Food, Fruit, Soups and Salads, Vegetarian
Okay, confession time, everyone. Admit it: have you ever had a gift registry that you could access online? Where you could see if an item had been fulfilled, before you actually received it? Did you peek to see what you're getting? I always thought that if I had such a registry, I would 100% [...]
Fire-Roasted Artichokes with Chipotle Aioli
Tuesday, May 25, 2010 in Appetizers, Chicks Dig It, Food, Gluten Free, Sauces, Jams, and Condiments, Vegetarian
Oooooh yeah. It's artichoke season. Green, spiny, scaly, perhaps slightly mysterious – and so fun (and delicious) to eat. A plain old artichoke can be slightly intimidating to the uninitiated. But once you know the drill, they're truly a cinch to cook up, and just as easy to eat. I love the article entitled [...]
Chives and Bees, Chives and Bees!
Wednesday, May 19, 2010 in Garden, Home
A couple of months ago, I got my big girl camera. A Canon Rebel T1i and oh, people. This thing is fun. I haven't done much with it yet. I can tweak here and there, but mostly I put my budget-friendly and so-worth-the-money 50mm f/1.8 lens on and just snap away. I can't wait to [...]
Banana Sour Cream Pancakes
Tuesday, May 18, 2010 in Breakfast, Food, Fruit, Vegetarian
These bad boys are perfect for a nice relaxing weekend morning when something just a little special is in order. Or for when you are, for some strange reason, just really craving something made with bananas. Not that I would know what that's like. Nuh uh. (I actually really wanted to make a banana cake [...]
DIY Wedding Favor Sneak Peek
Monday, May 17, 2010 in Crafts, Life, Wedding
I'm all about the Do-It-Yourself for our upcoming wedding. And heck yes, I'm planning to share and share and share all our fun DIY wedding projects after the big day … but (except for today) not until after. (And afterwards is soon! This thing came faaast.) We finished one of our wedding favors this weekend [...]
A Cat and His Nip
Thursday, May 13, 2010 in Garden, Home
Allow me to introduce you, officially, to Tigger. Tigger is high. Tigger has officially discovered the catnip in the herb garden. He's even been fighting off other cats for the rights to his stash. (He's discovered that it's not easy to fight off doped up cats, however, so the key is to guard proactively [...]
No-Bake Cookies (Chocolate + Peanut Butter + Easy = Oh Yeah)
Tuesday, May 11, 2010 in Dessert, Food, Gruntworthy for Guys, Kid Friendly, Vegetarian
I'm still relatively new to this blog thing. So I'm still learning the ins, the outs, the wonderful surprises, the pitfalls. One interesting and unexpected result of all this? The expectations, man! Nowadays, friends and family are counting on some seriously good things out of my kitchen. Which, I admit, is actually kind of cool… [...]
Blackberry Pie Muffins
Thursday, May 6, 2010 in Breakfast, Chicks Dig It, Food, Vegetarian
Tender blackberry muffins brightened with a little lemon zest and bursting with fresh, tart berries – and best of all, they’re sprinkled with a crumbly topping reminiscent of pie crust. Blackberry Pie Muffins are perfect for a few handfuls of your blackberry haul.
Trophy Cupcakes + Martha Stewart Cupcake Tree
Monday, May 3, 2010 in Food
Two things I love: This Martha Stewart Cupcake Tree that my guy's coworkers gave us (along with a ton of other loot) for a surprise wedding shower (those folks rock!) And… and… the sinfully delicious Trophy Cupcakes that were on it. I've loved Trophy Cupcakes for years. This time, though, I tried the Salted Caramel [...]
Pain Perdu (Caramelized Louisiana French Toast)
Saturday, May 1, 2010 in Food, Gruntworthy for Guys
Pain Perdu is a sticky, chewy, caramelized version of french toast that will forever be a part of my breakfast arsenal. I wish I could say this recipe was passed down through the generations. Or that I ate it on an amazing trip to the French Quarter where it changed me forever. Or that I [...]
