Cooking Life The Working World Twenties

Dinner, the highlight of my day since 2011.    I got home late this evening, so I threw together a box of butternut squash risotto that I picked up a whole foods, as well as some brussels roasted in garlic olive oil. Simple, but awesome. Even more awesome, was this homemade peanut butter cup that I dug out of my suitcase. Ashley gave it to me at Foodbuzz and I completely forgot about it. Oh my goodness, was it tasty…

Food of the Past

Ramblings

What up friends? I’m on the couch all bundled up. And so the cold, long winter begins. It’s much warmer here than it was in Boston, but my apartment doesn’t hold heat quite as well and my office is freezing. Thus, I am just as cold here as I was in the north. I also suspect that my iron is low again as well because I basically forgot to take vitamins this summer and multivitamins usually aren’t enough for low…

Salsa Crisis

Cooking

I dragged all day today, but I somehow found a ton of energy after work. I had to do some cleaning and laundry after hosting guests this weekend because I have another guest coming tomorrow! If only I could figure out how to pick up after my self during the week, I wouldn’t have to put away a million things at the end of the week. Sometimes I still feel like a little child living a grown-up’s life. Dinner for…

Crockpot Creation

Uncategorized

Hello blog friends. Matt here…I’m on fall break right now, so I thought I’d give L a brief respite from posting for the night. Given that school has gotten in the way of me participating in dinner prep as of late (read: for the past 2 months), I decided it was high time I pull together something special….well, something edible at least. Generally speaking, crock-pot meals are fairly easy to stir up, but this one was a bit more time…

Thoughts from a Thursday

Ramblings

-More casserole, more cake. I love being able to put something on a plate and call it dinner -But I like feeling motivated to cook too. When will that energy return? -It got cold, fast! I keep forgetting to wear a coat in the morning. -Matt finished exams yesterday and the business school handed out beer in the halls. Oh, to be a student again. -I want more cake. -I wish I could take a fall trip to Boston. I’m…

Reheat, Eat

Cooking

Hello, hello. Here is evidence that I’ve been in the kitchen: That would be Caitlin’s Santa Fe Casserole. It’s been on my list to make for a while and, since Matt has finals this week, I’d thought I’d make something that he could re-heat during his library breaks. I actually made this yesterday and was thrilled to come from work and dig into it this evening. Loved the texture and it was great with salsa! I made the switch from…

This weekend was just fabulous. I couldn’t have asked for better weather and I did a lot of relaxing. I wasn’t able to go out Friday night because of a stomach ache, but I got a great night’s sleep and was feeling energized on Saturday morning. I went to the mall to run some errands and eyed some things I might like if I’m lucky enough to get any birthday cash:) I made some last minute plans to hang out…

Cheers to Six Years

Cooking

Matt and I had a little something to celebrate yesterday – six years together! But due to scheduling, we didn’t even see each other yesterday. We actually plan to celebrate this weekend, but decided a little weekday wine was in order. Enter the Funf. I’ve had this bottle of wine for 3+ years. Oops. When I was at Davidson, Matt and I liked to walk across the street to the wine bar and order this riesling. This is when my…

Souper Sweet

Cooking

I loved your comments yesterday – thanks for making me laugh:) Some people believe there’s never a place for negativity, but sometimes its comforting to hear other people’s complaints instead of my own thoughts. This morning, I got up and went to my third yoga class! I think I might quit though because it’s just soo hard and there are no other classes offered at my studio (it’s new so the offerings are very limited). I know it’s good for…
