Happy Bunny to You! Ahh, home. Nathan and I got off the plane from San Francisco this afternoon and went straight to my Dad & Susanna’s for Easter dinner with my aunt Mary & uncle Bruce, as well as Stacey& Cooper. Couldn’t ask for a sweeter way to ease back in to winter, you know?…

Hey, I forgot to say Happy St. Patrick’s Day yesterday! Mostly because I hardly thought about it, until I decided to rummage through the cooler to see what I could scare up for dinner. What I discovered was quite green – green beans and arugula – hey, a subconscious St. Patty’s Day dinner! I created…

Didn’t even come close to posting again yesterday, ah well. Even an exhibitionist like me has to hole up for a bit! Not to mention, it’s been a mite crazy around here these days, what with being away and having house guests and such. And Nathan and I are outta here again on Wednesday, this…

Hola! Hola! Back from Mexico, in fact since Thursday night, but I’ve been having too much fun hanging with the Bryt family, visiting from New York, to scratch a post together! It’s been a fast blast of weekend, with Bartley arriving Wednesday for work, and Maud and their daughters Catherine and Natalie joining him (us!)…

Holy, heavenly guacamole, I can’t wait to fly out of here tomorrow. And eat guacamole (preferably with warm tortilla chips, to die) upon arrival! I don’t even care if it’s in the sun (since my bod can’t take much sun anyhow), as long as it’s above, let’s say, 65 degrees. That’s 66 degrees warmer than…

I meant to write yesterday about darling Brussels sprouts, but I got distracted by the whole spring break thing – can you tell I’m a little excited to feel some warm sun? It’s been a long, cold winter. Still cold – 5 degrees as I write this. And it’s March. Ughs. Anyhow, I ran into…

I declare tonight Fish Night. It’s been awhile, and with a bikini calling my name starting Sunday (I’m so outta here, to Mexico with my long-time, KK-friend Michelle – thank you Michwheat, thank you Caribbean!), I’m definitely thinking dinner on the uh, lighter side. I tried on a pile o’ summer clothes to figure out…

Ah, back to reality. (Small sigh, wry smile…) And back to cooking for the fam! Tonight, I’m making a typical make-your-own Wild Wednesday dish, in this case chicken noodle soup. The kids take theirs light on the chicken (and veggies), heavy on the noodle. We adults reverse the ratio. Either way, a good chicken stock…

After reading Andrew Zimmern’s blog yesterday, I immediately called the much-awaited Porter & Frye to see if John and I could score a table for Date Night. We love the stylings of Chef Steven Brown (Levain, RockStar) and were psyched to sample his new wares. And The Hotel Ivy (the restaurant is a part of…

Brrrgrrr, rarrr! I made hamburgers last night and oh my, I haven’t had one in so long, it tasted incredible. I didn’t actually grill ’em, but still, the homemade version is just “summer” to me, it was really fun. I did a quick saute of mushrooms and spinach to have alongside – or on top!…
