I am a cookbook fiend. For someone who eats meat, a large proportion of my cookbooks are vegetarian or vegan. I like a lot of the things that those authors come up with. When I flipped through Isa Moskowitz’s latest cookbook Isa Does It, I spied a recipe for Rosemarry Chocolate Chip cookies. That recipe… Continue reading Rosemary and Cranberry Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Decking the Halls
I’m not even going to tell you what happens in my head if I think or hear “deck the halls” without hearing a certain holiday diddy with it. Trust me on this. You are glad. I love the holiday season. While I’m not a fan of winter, I love the lights, the red and green… Continue reading Decking the Halls
Vegan Gingerbread Ice Cream
At the holidays I am simultaneously attracted to, and afraid of holiday-themed treats. I’m not talking about the ones that come out of people’s kitchens. I’m talking about the ones that come out of factories. Those things usually get me all excited, and then let me down. For instance, I want to try Gingerbread m&ms,… Continue reading Vegan Gingerbread Ice Cream
Who’s your founding father?
I really don’t believe that the Honda commercial that came out last year around Presidents Day persuaded me to buy a Honda. However, sometimes when I approach my car, I hear that commercial in my mind, even though I think George Washington would disapprove of it. I think that Lincoln, on the other hand, would… Continue reading Who’s your founding father?
Pecan Cream Pie
I love going to my mom’s for Thanksgiving. Before I went, I asked if there was anything I could bring, but she had things well covered. In fact, I partook of delicious leftovers all day long. I also shamelessly became the relative who shows up with plastic food containers. In my defense, I want to… Continue reading Pecan Cream Pie
The Sandwich
Whenever I have the opportunity to talk about Benjamin Harrison, I can’t resist the urge to refer to him as the meat in the Grover Cleveland sandwich. Go ahead. Take a minute; unpack that. Benjamin Harrison could be described as a heritage president. Great, now I sound like I’m talking about turkeys. His great-grandfather was

This might be gross…
Ever since I made my own napkins, I’ve considered making my own hankies or tissues. This is the part where I think that anyone who knows me and has heard me blow my nose just felt their tummies twirl as if they were on a rollercoaster. But the thing is my nose blowing is much… Continue reading This might be gross…
Pumpkin Pie Blondie
I am determined to experience the seasons. I love, love, love summer, and want to make sure that I don’t spend the years waiting and pining for summer and then ignoring what is nice about the other seasons. One thing that I like about the fall season is the abundance of pumpkin-related treats. I’m serious.… Continue reading Pumpkin Pie Blondie

Fall
Summer is, by far, my favorite season, but this year I am determined to enjoy the fall before it succumbs to winter. Right now, we still get to see some of those gorgeous, pillow-cloud skies. The crunch we feel beneath our shoes are twigs and leaves, not ice. Though the mornings can be frosty, there… Continue reading Fall
