Frosty Gingerbread Tree Cookies with Lemon Icing
Sunday, December 19, 2010 in Dessert, Food, Holidays, Vegetarian
This gingerbread cookie recipe from Martha Stewart is a definite winner. Perfectly spiced gingerbread cut into tree shapes, then glazed with a little lemon and powdered sugar mixture and then sprinkled with coarse sugar for a little extra sparkle … this is one case where it’s okay to see the forest for the trees. (I never really understood what that meant, anyway.)

Double Chocolate Salted Peanut Bark
Tuesday, December 7, 2010 in Dessert, Food, Holidays
This bark is a ridiculously easy candy recipe that’s perfect for supplementing your holiday cookie platters, or even tucked in a cute candy bag all by itself. It’s also an easy treat to quickly whip up when you’re craving something sweet and salty – and then you can keep it all for yourself. Not that I would ever do that.

The Shrimp Dip Plate and Other Calamaties
Saturday, November 27, 2010 in Life, That's Why I'm a Dork
My mom’s been bringing her famous shrimp ball to family events for years. I stopped eating it 10+ years ago when I became a vegetarian, but I still remember the deliciousness of the shrimp ball. And the entire family loves it. And I still feel a little sad when she breaks it out every time, [...]

The Wall
Monday, November 22, 2010 in Decorating, Home
Here’s a confession: For a long time, I’ve been deathly afraid to tune in to Hoarders. The truth is, I feared I’d see too much of myself. See, I’ve never been the most… meticulous. An elementary school teacher sent home the feedback, “Karen is so talented! But… she needs to work on her organizational skills.” [...]
