Wow. This past weekend was a my favorite kind – a holiday / three day weekend!! It was fantastic. I was super busy, and it went by really quickly and I’m sort of wiped out now. Friday night Mark and I went out to dinner at one of our local East Greenwich favorites. Saturday I…… Continue reading Homemade Pasta
On Friday night I went over to my friends’ house and cooked dinner, with some help from my friend Danielle. I decided to take a page from Jenna’s playbook, and make chicken & biscuits… it definitely reminded me of being down South. (For those of you who don’t know, my mom is from Tennessee and…… Continue reading Chicken and Biscuits
Hi All – Sorry for being away the last couple of days. I had a super busy post Labor day week. Then on Friday I got sick.

At 8:30 tonight I posted for the first time in two weeks or so on FB: Work, commute, gym, grocery store, made a quiche, made dinner, prepped salads & quiche, packed lunch – finally off my feet and watching Mad Men.Seriously. I’m exhausted. I was out…… Continue reading What a day!

During my vacation I actually had time to watch and enjoy the Food Network, and this was definitely a recipe I wanted to try. I am happy to say that it was good, and it was fairly quick…… Continue reading Indian Cuisine At Home
Tonight’s dinner was inspired by a scene in Eat, Pray, Love. I just loved the scene when Liz Gilbert sits and dines al fresco in a cafe somewhere in Rome, Italy. They give her this amazing looking bowl of pasta and she has a lot of fun eating it. It looked divine. I had to…… Continue reading My Take on Bolognese…
I’m back. Today I made a huge salad, a mushroom and onion quiche and homemade macaroni & cheese with tomato and basil. I got to the grocery store at 10:45 this morning, spent about half an hour shopping and started prepping and cooking at around 11:30 after studying some cookbooks and having a cup of…… Continue reading Food is Love Part II
Hi Bloggies – Wow, I have been cooking my tail off most of the day. I’ll be back later to let you know exactly what I’ve made. But here is food for thought: Quiche, homemade mac & cheese (with basil and tomatoes from the garden) and a salad of mixed greens, spinach and veggies. I’m…… Continue reading Homemade Food is Love
Hi readers – Have you ever had one of those nights where the entire evening just gets away from you? Wow, that totally happened to me last night.
