step it up: sweet potatoes

16. February 2010

Good morning! After being gone last Thursday and Friday at the trunk show, being out of the office over the weekend, and taping our March Spring video yesterday, I have a lot of work to do today. One of those “I’ve-been-out-of-the-loop-the-mountain-of-work-seems-pretty-big-and-I-don’t-quite-know-where-to-start” kind of days. I think a well planned to-do list and a good sense [...]

semi-homemade garlic pizza

22. January 2010

Happy Friday! This week’s End of the Week Exfoliation will be up tomorrow morning. I am looking forward to this weekend as I have a coffee chat with a very dear blog friend on Saturday and dinner tonight with a close Chicago buddy. I hope your weekend is dry, sunny, and relatively warm! It’s been [...]

mom’s chocolate chip cheesecake

30. November 2009

Good morning! I’m feeling quite relaxed after a “long” weekend starting semi-formally on Wednesday. Though I did a trunk show on Friday, the break from regular studio hours was nice. I attempted to keep my exercise output as high as my food intake over the past week. I was reasonably successful, however this recipe is [...]

DIY: gold chevron paintings

18. November 2009

Ohmygoodness. I am so excited to share this project! I have had this idea floating in my head for months and now I get to share the results. The concept of painted chevron first came to mind after reading Kelly + Olive’s post about DIY Chevron. I followed their instructions and used the pattern linked [...]

caramel apple oatmeal

4. November 2009

As far as most frequently eaten meals go, I think oatmeal has been topping my charts for the last six months. Ever since I discovered the joys of Cheesy Oatmeal (don’t judge until you’ve tried it), I’ve been eating oats for breakfast. And as my old coach on the Michigan Men’s Crew Team (I was [...]

taking a daily “happy” vitamin

30. September 2009

I’ve been meaning to write about this topic for quite some time. In fact, I have a little memo in my Blackberry where I keep ideas for future posts, and this topic has been sitting there since May. The idea came from an article I read in Body + Soul written by Cheryl Richardson (one [...]

bongo room, brilliant brunch

22. September 2009

Last Saturday before my trunk show, I scheduled date “night” at the Bongo Room. Last week my friend Amy mentioned the restaurant made pretzel pancakes covered in white chocolate and caramel. Needless to say, with my three favorite ingredients in the title, it got my attention. I dreamed about that dish all week long. The [...]

new snack and fabulous blog award

9. September 2009

Today I was going to mention my new obsession from Trader Joe’s, and then found out I was tagged by Rebecca with a Fabulous Blog Award (more on that below). The food crush is a new one I discovered yesterday at the T.Joe’s sample counter (who doesn’t love a good sample counter, really?). While shopping, [...]

hamburger cupcakes

18. August 2009

At this point, I know I’m a borderline blogger cliche making the infamous hamburger cupcakes for Chiblogo. These little guys are super popular on blogs. I first fell in love with them on Bakerella. I then made them for a Fourth of July barbecue and now for Chiblogo this weekend. The recipe is simple, the [...]

the new whole foods

17. August 2009

This weekend was a blur of fun and food. I will start off by saying I’m busy editing and finishing the photos from the first Chiblogo event which was a huge success! More on that in the next day or so. The New Whole Foods (AKA): “Date Night” I’ll start off this morning with a [...]

the magic bullet – is it really magic?

28. July 2009

I apologize for taking two precious minutes out of your day to talk about something really unimportant. So meaningless, I totally condone moving on to the next blog in your reader or site on you toolbar. Go ahead. Move along now. For those that are still reading (hi, Mom!), I have a confession to make.

do you know about stanley’s? it’s da bomb

13. July 2009

I’m having an affair. My indiscretion with Stanley began a few months ago when Kaitlyn of Eat My Blog introduced me to this fruit and veggie all-star. Until that point I was in a monogamous relationship with a man called Trader Joe. But once I met Stanley, everything changed. Stanley lives at 1558 N. Elston. [...]
