Breakfast

In August, Elie and I celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary with a getaway to Vancouver. While we visit Vancouver often, it’s always with Theo to visit family. We seldom get to just wander the neighborhoods, sit uninterrupted in coffee shops, window shop at leisure and linger over long dinners, holding hands across the table. 

I'm at the stage of motherhood where I want to go back and relive the last 26 months all over again, knowing what I know now. Knowing that tiny infant, who needed the comfort of my chest and the warmth of my breath on the top of his head to sleep for hours, would, in […]

I can't believe it's taken me this long to share my recipe for shakshuka, since it's a staple in our home, one we make a few times a month, for breakfast and, most often, for dinner. I'm sure you must know about shakshuka, right? Ottolenghi made the dish famous in 2012 with the publication of […]

I hope the first meal plan I shared last week was helpful! This recipe for Huevos Divorciados is on the menu for tonight, but of course, you could make it any time. It's traditionally served at breakfast, and it's inspired by a trip to Puerto Vallarta from a few years ago. The last week of […]

Welcome to my new website! This project has been many months in the works, to create a website with a new look, feel and navigation that matches my goals for this year and the years to come. If you're new here, you might start here to learn a little more about me. Or here, to […]

As I mentioned in my last post, I've decided not to go back to work, at least for now. Before Theo was born, I wasn't sure if I would want to still want to work on projects part-time, or if i would want to be a full-time mama. I'm not really surprised that I love […]

I fully intended to share this recipe before last weekend, but the week took some unexpected turns. Last Tuesday, two days before my due date, I somehow managed to fall off one of the bar stools in our kitchen, mostly catching myself on one knee and the side of my face. Although my belly didn't […]

The world probably doesn’t need another granola recipe.  There are certainly enough out there to choose from.  But, here goes anyway, because you never know when the next one you make might become your favorite.  And, because this is what we’re eating this week as we sit in the hospital and wait for Moe’s heart […]

It’s such a treat to have my Mom and Granny staying with us this week.  We’ve cooked and baked, gone antiquing, window shopped, and sat around reminiscing.  These times are precious, the moments that you’d like to capture and suspend in time. I’ve always found the best conversations in life happen in the kitchen or […]
