While I technically did not finish off the month by posting everyday I still consider my crazy attempt a success.
In this current season of life my time is very limited and more structured then I ever would have wanted it to be. I have two little sweet boys who want my attention and continually need [...]

Cranberry Pecan Rolls
November 26, 2009 – 11:53 pm
Last year we started a Thanksgiving morning tradition. We eat a Pomegranate.
It just so happened that we had one lying on the counter as Gabe and I were discussing traditions we want to start with our young family. Suddenly a simple and delicious tradition was born.
Last night Gabe ran to the store to grab our [...]
Gingerbread Cookies

As a little girl I wanted to be Martha Stewart.
My best friend and I took it upon ourselves to create a publication for young girls, such as ourselves, who dreamed of being the crafter, cook and exceptional decorator that Martha is. Our magazine was called, Mini Martha Living.
It ran for one issue.
Oh but what an [...]
Meringue Mushrooms
November 18, 2009 – 11:19 pm
I’ll be honest – I really have no idea what possessed me to make meringue mushrooms.
Maybe it was my new found love of foraging? Nah. I think it’s because they are so fun to look at and much sweeter than their real life counterpart.
I’ve made these in years past as an adornment to my Buche [...]
waiting

I’m waiting.
The recipe that I have to offer you tonight is still in the oven. I thought maybe we could wait together.
Sooooo…. what’s new?
How have you been since the last time we talked?
Was it really just yesterday?
Have you seen these dishes?
And what about this corn? I know, right?! FROZEN corn with mint of all things? [...]
candy gifts – caramels and sticks

In the corner of our living room there are stacks and stacks of December issues of Martha Stewart Living.
There is the December ‘05 issue with a wreath studded with red glittering birds that hangs on a door painted the color of mint ice cream. December ‘01- the cover is marked with an interior shot with [...]
tripping

I am so happy I married someone who knows his way around a computer.
Currently he is sitting to my right designing, programming and all-around creating a new website for me. Don’t worry – I’m not doing a complete overhaul of the blog – again. This time we’re working on a photography site – a happy [...]
quince brandy
November 14, 2009 – 10:22 pm
Christmas came early this year in the form of quince. A friend, who has a friend, who has a tree, was unloading some of her bounty. I was there to happily collect and welcome the fragrant beauties with open arms and plenty of ideas.
I am fairly certain that if you were to ask the quince [...]
Masters
November 13, 2009 – 11:12 pm
I arranged for a babysitter before I knew what the evening agenda was. My husband knew and that was all that mattered.
The night before our less-than-ordinary evening away, Gabe handed me a glassine envelope thick with papers. In years past these strange and lovely envelopes have included cards for no reason other than to say [...]
Flavoring coffee
November 12, 2009 – 3:46 pm
The last and final day of the coffee series. I really am quite sad about this actually. It turns out that not only do I love to drink coffee but I love to talk to you about it too.
Although we’re not standing face to face, this world is indeed a crazy place and just as [...]
