So I may have mentioned that I wasn’t really cooking anymore. *blushing* Yes, the skin on my knuckles has grown back, my finger nails are long, and my tongue is not completely burned. It’s wonderful. Well, wonderful except that I’m not cooking (read full article)
When I first moved to Seattle, as a going-away present, my dear friend Christy gave me a gift certificate to a random Seattle restaurant she found online. She’d never been to the Emerald City, and she had no idea which part of Seattle I was moving (read full article)
Maybe it’s my brief (albeit lackluster) career as a graphic designer, but I am completely enamored by color. Given that, it’s no surprise Seattle has been a good fit for me – it’s a Technicolor city. Even in the dead of winter, everything is (read full article)
Sometimes you just need a quickie. (Dinner. I’m talking about dinner.) And it’s a good idea to have quickie ingredients in your pantry because you never know when the mood will strike. (Frantic. That frantic “OMG what am I going to make for din (read full article)
SM is a good Irish boy and likes his potatoes. Any way you slice or dice them, he will clean his plate. I think I could make just about any protein and stick it next to a big pile of potatoes and he would be one happy kid. As much of a red flag as I& (read full article)
Even though the ingredients make it a summer dish, I’ve been craving the rich, stewy, deliciousness of some ratatouille lately, and decided to make it the other night. (Recipe to come, and believe me, you won’t want to miss it!) Eggplant isn’t (read full article)

I missed the bus last night. Do those 5 words make you sweat like they do for me? I scampered up to the bus stop just as the one I had intended to catch pulled away. Lucky for me, there was another one a few minutes later. But still, as I watched the (read full article)
I have a confession to make: I buy produce because it’s pretty. No, really. Sometimes I’m so mesmerized by the way a piece of fruit looks at the market that 90% of me wants to buy it so I can stare at it on the counter for a few days, and only 10 (read full article)
I grew up thinking that french toast was something you ate for breakfast any old day. (Lucky kid, right?) SUE! has a great recipe for it, and she’d use Pepperidge Farm white sandwich bread and cut it in half diagonally to make triangles. As it woul (read full article)

I have this friend Beef who thinks that I am obsessed with carrots. I have no idea where this assumption came from; perhaps because I’m a carrot top she figured that I must really like carrots? Sure, I like carrots as much as any other kid, but not (read full article)
Well, I’m rejuvenated from yesterday’s roast chicken dinner, and am back on the train to good health thanks to tonight’s seriously comforting Chicken Pot Pie. Honestly, does comfort food come any better that Chicken Pot Pie? There are very few (read full article)

What are your family’s favorite traditional Thanksgiving side dishes? Every family has at least a few. Whether it’s the cranberry jello-mold that Aunt Mary makes (is it ever a good idea to eat something with “mold” in the title?) or Uncle Sal (read full article)
I’ve been scratching my head lately over the new Ore-Ida Steam n’ Mash Potatoes. Have you seen the tv ad for them yet? I must be in their target market because it feels like I see the commercial every time I turn on the tube. They’re a bag of f (read full article)
