Summer Summertime

Happy Friday! I’m so so excited for the weekend. It looks like it’s going to be a hot, sunny few days and I plan on being poolside for as much of it as possible. Plus, I’m looking forward to brunches, finishing the book I’m reading, a few more apartment projects, and relaxing. You? Fun weekend plans?

Gift Guide For The Foodie

Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Know someone who is most comfortable in the kitchen? Or maybe a budding chef? That’s not me at all, but I did my research and I feel certain the foodie in your life would appreciate these gifts! And if they need someone to cook for, feel free to send them my way! Maybe if I had that apron I’d get in the kitchen more… I also recommend checking out this gift guide from My New Roots for a pantry list, kitchen equipment and cookbooks.

Thanksgiving Inspiration

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000

I can’t believe Thanksgiving is next week! And even though I don’t go home for it anymore, it’s still one of my favorite holidays. I love having a few friends over for a big dinner after cooking and getting ready all day. Which is sort of strange since I usually avoid the kitchen at all costs. But something about Thanksgiving gets me inspired…

Holiday Dinner

Tue, 14 Dec 2010 00:00:00 +0000

On Sunday, I had some of my closest friends over for a holiday dinner and gift exchange. I love entertaining but still think of myself as a struggling cook – thankfully, I had no trouble making some amazing appetizers, which I served with grilled salmon as the main course (though I didn’t even have to make that much salmon because everyone was chowing down on the appetizers)! After dinner, there were cookies galore and pumpkin pie for dessert. I’ll share my grandma’s molasses sugar cookie recipe in a later post, but see below for all the appetizer recipes I used! I promise they are simple, and will have all your guests smiling with satisfaction!
