Strawberry cupcakes

This blog is badly in need of a cupcake update. How long has it been now, like a whole month? Too long…too long. Luckily, one of my most hilarious and clever friends had a birthday recently. Someone asked Farrell if he could “twist my arm” into making cupcakes for the occasion. Done. It’s twisted. No …

Pecan pie

This pie has been in the planning stages for a very long time. Since Christmas, to be exact. Farrell and I were in Baghdad, sitting on my air bed in the metal shipping container that I lived in during those eight months. Boxes from our parents had arrived several days before Christmas, but Farrell kept …

Homemade noodles in peanut sauce

I’m beginning to notice that I go through distinct phases of cooking. I’ll make the same dish several times over a short period of time before moving on to a new one. The reason? I’m not quite sure, but it probably has something to do with the fact that I usually don’t have a chance …

quinoa pudding

I started a new internship this week. Brand new people to work and socialize with. Lots of new names to remember. New tasks, new routes to walk, new coffee shops and lunch places to find nearby. A new office. It’s sort of a big deal for me, because I essentially worked for the same company …

Caldo Verde

I don’t think I’ve mentioned this before, but I’ve been unemployed since getting back from Iraq. It’s hardly tragic. In fact, the majority of the time, I quite enjoy not having a job. My apartment has never been cleaner and I have all day to do silly things like make several batches of homemade pasta …

Peach cobbler

This post is a couple days late, but happy National Peach Cobbler Day! (Ahem…it was April 13. Don’t worry, I didn’t know either until I saw this tweet from King Arthur Flour) A special holiday dedicated just to peach cobbler is good for reminding people of how awesome it is (I mean, desserts that aren’t …

Brie and apple sandwich

Nothing complicated today. I want you to see this sandwich and imagine how good it would taste. And then I want you to go make it and enjoy it as much as I did. Brie could, at first, be thought of the star of this simple sandwich. It’s rich, creamy and deliciously oozy. Not a …

Citrus Scones

My love for scones is endless. I think it ties in well with my love for DC and beautiful Spring weather. The other day I took a walk through my favorite neighborhoods and soaked in how awesome it is to be back from Iraq. I met up with friends, I made plans for more meetings …

Classic Lemon Meringue Pie

How was your Easter? Like I mentioned before, I spent my Easter weekend in Colorado surprising my future in-laws. I think we caught them a bit off-guard when suddenly their dinner plans had to expand from two to twelve people. Knowing that I’m such a fan of baking, Farrell’s mom put me (mostly) in charge …

Philly soft pretzels

First stop on the “we-just-got-back-from-Iraq” tour was Colorado to see the future in-laws and surprise them for their 25th wedding anniversary. To keep our arrival a secret, Farrell and I camped out at his sister’s house in Denver, where we had the opportunity (nay…the pleasure) to entertain Mia, my three-year-old future niece. How do you …
