Did you get your fill of pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving? Excellent! I’ll be back later this week with a holiday recap, but in the meantime, please make some room for this apple cranberry crisp. It’s lighter than most holiday sweets, which I appreciate, and full of beautiful fall produce, which means that you can totally [...]
We are running out of time. Thanksgiving is tomorrow! Thank goodness I’m not in charge of the cooking. Maybe you are prepared. Perhaps you already have your menu planned, your ingredients purchased and your best stretchy pants washed and ready. I don’t know how you do it. I, for one, am still wearing my pajamas [...]
I know it’s been around for a while, but I just want to say that central heat is amazing. How I survived the past four winters with my little space heaters and dangerously vintage floor heaters is beyond me. In my new apartment, all I have to do is scootch the little dial on my [...]
Confession: I almost didn’t make this week’s chosen recipe for The Food Matters Project. The recipe, Baked Rigatoni with Brussels Sprouts, Figs, and Bleu Cheese (page 221) is actually the recipe that inspired one of my favorite dishes, my roasted brussels sprouts and cranberries with barley. This recipe also reminds me of my orecchiette with [...]

Good evening! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I’m a bit behind on my holiday cocktail series this week. Photographing a drink after 5 on weekdays has proved impossible so the series may become a weekend affair. No collection of holiday cocktails would be complete without hot spiked cider, so today I present [...]
It’s finally feeling like fall here in Oklahoma. Yellow and red leaves are falling from the trees after our first frost and I’ve pulled my boots and coats out of hiding. As usual, Oklahoma weather is unpredictable and tomorrow we’ll enjoy a sunny, 70 degree Thanksgiving. I’m not complaining! Today, on Thanksgiving eve, I thought [...]
Baking on Saturday afternoons has become a weekly ritual. After working on my computer from my couch all week, I like to be up on my feet on the days in between. Reaching high for bags of flour, plucking spices from the rack, grabbing my camera and hopping up onto the chair for an overhead [...]
Sometimes I hesitate to post everyday meals that seem almost too simple to share. Then I reconsider—if I get excited about new ideas for easy meals that don’t require an extra trip to the store or a lot of time to prepare, then there’s a good chance that you all will feel the same way. [...]
