Last weekend we taste-tested, More, in buzzy neighborhood of Glenwood South. More is the brethren of Taste and Oak, so my boyfriend and I had high hopes for the food. The More menu touts itself as a wine bar with “European-inspired small plates.” Great, I already loved everything about this before even entering the restaurant. When you…

Spicy Poke Bowls
One of the Chap’s recent hobbies includes doing different tasks around the house while saying that we need more fish in our diet. In an effort to curtail this oddly timed mantra, and coupled with my love of all things raw tuna, I thought I’d try my hand at Poke Bowls this week. I found this…
Loaded Waffles for the Win
This weekend was a game changer in the waffle world. I decided to use the extra sheet of puff pastry that was lurking in the freezer from having company last weekend and throw it to the waffle iron. I’m glad I did because LOOK AT THIS. That’s a waffle stuffed with crumbled turkey bacon, chives,…
Friday Pick Me-Up
Not sure which is better? The esteemed Macarons and Mayhem recipe collection has it’s own Pinterest board. Now you can peruse the kitchen mayhem in between DIY gardening projects and shopping for engagement rings. Follow the collection, here. Next up, there’s this fantastic hybrid of Aziz Ansari and a Kanye West video. You’re welcome. …
Cheese, Eggs, and Potatoes – Twice Baked Goodness
“Look mama we made it. Your son out in Barbados. Cheese, eggs, and potatoes.” Man, you’d think that J.Cole, “Nobody’s Perfect,” was written at our house this weekend. We did make this for his mama. And there was a fair amount of cheese, eggs, and potatoes. And I do wish to travel to Barbados. Really,…
The Immersion Program
My Chap is big into the full immersion program. And not like let’s send the (nonexistent) children to French primary school (totally happening). More like, we should move-in together immediately. Ok! And meet my parents, but instead of over dinner, how about 10 days of isolation with them. Oh, alright. Since, apparently, we are gluttons…
Sauced and Pickled
Last weekend was spent nearly entirely in the kitchen, testing recipes for upcoming guests, not loving them, sending them to work with the Chap, and repeat. I was getting discouraged on Sunday and told him, I don’t care whether we order Chinese or you roast a whole duck for dinner (he’s been talking about this),…
Berry Patch Strikes Back!
A seemingly endless supply of house guests has my baking game on overdrive. For tomorrow morning, I resurrected, the always wonderful Greek Yogurt Blueberry cake. I must say, this is the best one yet! I used a spring form pan instead of a cake pan and perfected the crumble if I do say so myself….
Littlefoot Approves
This charming exchange between boyfriend and girlfriend and the art of buying make-up had me giggling alone in my office today.
Breakfast for the Bachelorette?
Those step-by-step blog posts where there are 20 photos of an egg being beaten into a bowl of something, then the bowl, then an oven shot, and on and on and on……just ugh. It takes 20 minutes to find the damn recipe. I’ve tried to keep my musings free of the sausage making photos, but…
