This weekend, we first made a batch of beans and cornbread to cozy-up a rainy Friday evening! This afternoon, I'm baking a pumpkin so that I can put it in the freezer before I leave to go home for...

Is it terrible that when I saw this picture of the onions with port and bay leaves, I thought it looked like a bowl of eyeballs? Maybe this should be served around Halloween instead of Thanksgivin...

I'm a Sleepytime Tea girl! We used to drink it on Christmas Eve to help us go to sleep when we were waiting for Santa. Now I like to drink it to relax in the evenings any night of the year.

I'm with akay. It is beyond my comprehension why they would name a kitchen gadget with such a suggestive, inappropriate name. It's a good idea in theory, but I'm fairly appalled.

I absolutely love china, and it makes me a little sad that so few couples are including it on their registry. I love my mother's and my grandmother's, and I look forward to having some of my own fo...

It was a rainy day in Boston which means a wonderful day for cooking! First, I made kale and mushrooms with creamy polenta from Serious Eats (yum!).

I try not to, but I'm definitely guilty of peeking sometimes. I'm a little ashamed to admit that it usually makes me feel a little better about myself when I have more fruits and vegetables than t...

Some of my favorites are: Berkshire Brewing Company Coffeehouse Porter (MA) Real Ale (TX) Coffee Porter (TX) Stone Smoked Porter (CA) Stone Imperial Russian Stout (...

Thank you so much. This is my first fall and approaching winter in New England and I've been struggling with the cold and with the shortening of days. Your post is so encouraging and nudged me fur...

Well, I made a batch of butternut squash soup (my first ever), and I now see what all the fuss is about. Yum! Then, I got a hankering for comfort food and made one of my favorite mea...

That looks absolutely ridiculous.

YES!! I went apple picking for the first time ever this fall now that I'm living in New England. We went to Tougas Farm in Northborough, MA and picked some of the best apples I've ever tasted. We...

Yay, thanks so much for posting this! I bought some hazlenuts at the store on an impulse because they were so pretty and fall-ish, but I had NO idea what to do with them or how to do it! You have s...

I made Homesick Texan's Potato and Hatch Chile casserole, and tonight I'm trying my hand at butternut squash! I also want to try those baked stuffed pumpkins featured earlier this week! Happy hallo...

Ok, I absolutely love the muffin tin idea, but I think I was impressed even MORE at the idea to lay your spices out in a drawer...you can see all the labels, they're easy to reach, there's just not...

These are adorable!

Oh my goodness, Emeril's roasted cauliflower was AMAZING! I served it over some greens, and it was such a comforting delicious meal! I think this was my first time to eat cauliflower cooked, and ...

I'm the exact same way, I definitely prefer to have something green! My mom and grandmother kind of drilled this into me growing up... "You've got to have a colorful plate!"

I don't have too much counter space either, so I only have little things in the corners. First, I have an area for canisters like flour, sugar, pasta, etc. On another side I have a k...

I love candy corn. Period. :)
