Christmas, oh Christmas. I’m not religious but Christmas is my guilty pleasure. I love the holiday season in general-that magical time between Halloween and New Year’s makes me all gooey. It’s probably all of the alcohol and baked goods you’re encouraged to imbibe. (Hey-o!) Since my fiance joined me on the east coast a year [...]

How To: Homemade Coffee Creamer
Posted in breakfast, drinks, how to, recipes to impress on November 4, 2011 | 4 Comments »
I don’t know about you, but lately I’ve had an undeniable craving for pumpkin spice ANYTHING. I’m not really a big fan of pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice lattes, or even pumpkin, really, so this is a bit of a surprise for me. I think it has less to do with the “pumpkin” and more to [...]
How To: Creme Fraiche.

Alrighty. Creme fraiche. So it turns out creme fraiche is ridiculously easy to make. All you need is some heavy cream, culture, and a warm-ish windowsill. Emphasis on the warm-ish windowsill. I made this stuff in early May and Boston was still dealing with some shitty weather, so although I left my jar out for [...]
Recipe: Dulce de Leche
Posted in dessert, recipes to impress, tagged argentina, caramel, food for gift, homemade candy, milk caramel, south america on January 14, 2011 | 6 Comments »
What is dulce de leche, you ask? That is an excellent question. It’s basically caramel, but made from milk and sugar instead of just sugar. Literally translated it means “milk candy”. It’s gotten pretty popular up in the states in the last 10 or so years, but it’s a South American candy. I actually grew [...]

I am a vair vair bad food blogger. Keeping up with posting really shouldn’t be as difficult as I make it. I cook EVERY day. Yesterday I made some nom-tastic eggplant parm, without a recipe (which I’m still sort of amazed I can do). Today I’ll probably make some butternut squash soup. I should take [...]
Recipe: Pumpkin Cheesecake

Man oh man. I am getting BEHIND in the blogging. Ok, so, we left off with a whole bunch of pumpkin puree, it was about 2 cups. I decided to take that puree and turn it into delicious, soul-sustaining cheesecake. Yummy yum yum! I was a little worried that I would have to eat the [...]
How To: Pumpkin Puree

Alright ladies and gents. It’s that time of year again, the time when most Americans begin to experience uncomfortably desperate pumpkin cravings. You know who you are. You’re the one in the corner mainlining pumpkin spice lattes. Don’t try to hide! YOU’VE BEEN SPOTTED. Ahem. Sugar pie pumpkins and all manner of squash are currently [...]
Recipe: Nearly-Flourless Chocolate Cake
Posted in dessert, recipes to impress, tagged cake, chocolate, easy, easy chocolate cake, easy dessert, flourless on June 22, 2010 | 4 Comments »
A few weeks ago, some of my friends had a massive birthday party to celebrate their combined birthdays. The party started at one of their houses, with a barbecue dinner and snacks and alcohol (of course!). Guests were asked to bring some alcohol or a snack to share, and I love an opportunity to show [...]
Adobo Throwdown!

Last weekend, I participated in an Adobo Throwdown. For the uninitiated, Adobo is a Spanish word that refers to multiple different kinds of spices, dishes or rubs, but in this instance it refers specifically to a Filipino dish made with chicken or pork and stewed in vinegar, garlic, sugar, soy and pepper. It’s funny because [...]
Recipe: Bouef Bourguignon

So I watched Julie & Julia the other day (I know I’m a bit late to the party) and Julia Child’s Bouef Bourguignon is elevated to some kind of magical cult status in that movie. It will ease your worries! Soothe your soul! Impress your friends, relatives, and newspaper columnists!!!! So I kind of figured, [...]
