I had grand intentions this weekend. With an extra day off, I intended to make a to-do list and actually do the things on it. That’s right folks, spring was coming and I was feeling the itch. Unfortunately in order to do spring cleaning you actually have to have weather that indicates some sign of […]
I must admit, my baking has been somewhat of a bust as of late. Last week I attempted a “healthy” oatmeal, banana, raisin cookie and it failed miserably. I was missing one of the ingredients and tried to make it work, and well, let’s just say it was intern level at best. I can’t promise […]
This is less of a what I ate Wednesday and more of a what I can’t stop eating every day of the week. My name is Sarah and I’m addicted to homemade almond butter. Hi Sarah. It started as an experiment really. A few years ago for Lent I gave up over-processed foods. What are […]
Before I begin with this week’s post, I’d like to take a minute and wish myself a happy 100th! I didn’t realize I was anywhere near 100 blog posts until after I published last week’s post, but since this entry consists of other things that already happened last week, I’m going to take a minute […]
I’d love to pretend that my attempts at cooking are preceded by careful meal planning, leisurely trips to the grocery store, soft music and casual chopping. I imagine there are actual people out there like that. Laughing to one another as they chop vegetables, sipping on a perfectly-chilled glass of pinot noir and then sitting […]
St Patrick’s Day has always been highly regarded in my family. How could it not be? With Murphy as your surname you learned at a young age: The lyrics to MacNamara’s Band Everything can be dyed green with the proper amount of food coloring-even chicken salad. Wearing green underwear will not win you the tiebreaker […]
I know what you’re thinking. Soba what? Soba who? But before you pass judgement and contribute to my bounce rate, hear me out. I’ve never been a picky eater. I come from the motto of trying anything at least once. Then, decide if you like it or not. After all, what if that new food […]
In light of recent events, I decided to dedicate this What I ate Wednesday to my pup. After all, he’s ingested more interesting stuff than I have this week. Except maybe that delicious antipasto at Coco Pazzo, or the leftover roasted beet salad and quinoa from my Sunday post. Oh, and snickerdoodle dip. But more […]
When I was little I had a rabbit named Fluffy. Well, technically he wasn’t mine. He belonged to my classroom at Montessori Children’s House but I volunteered to take him home over breaks so it counts just the same, right? I mean the holiday guardian is bound to develop a bond that only a foster […]
I apologize that I embargoed my Wednesday post until Thursday. But holidays trump blog schedules and I highly doubt any of you were waiting at your computers for that recipe to come through. (Sigh) Maybe someday? Plus, our last baby season baby was born this week. Hooray! I shared Ella’s shower in the baby season […]
