Scotch Egg from Crestock High Quality Images You already know how I feel about eggs. We go through about 60 eggs here a week. Okay, so a lot of that goes to my baking business- but we are egg lovers, and one of our favorite ways to have them are Scotched. Take a hard-boiled egg, [...]
Homemade BLTs = Love
blt from Crestock Creative Photos On some days, it feels like the height of summer here. On those days, much as I love my usual comfort food of stews and roasts, all I want is a sandwich. A good, filling sandwich made with crispy fresh organic lettuce, juicy red tomato slices, and cool, creamy mayonnaise. [...]
Healthy Breakfast Choices
Breakfast from Crestock Creative Photos My husband and I, night owls for a long, long time, have become morning people. And by that, I mean really early morning people: we’re up by 5, mostly 4:30. We’ve been getting a lot more done since switching our schedule, but one of the biggest perks has got to [...]
When Steak Means Love
t-bone steak from Crestock Photos I’m not sure why, but I crave the same thing every Valentine’s Day: a good steak. Back in College, I was a vegetarian for a few years. It wasn’t particularly difficult for me- because I was never a big meat eater. Now, of course, I embrace almost all types of [...]
Spice Fest: Dal Aloo!
Potato Curry Dish from Crestock Royalty Free Photos Indian food is not something we have on a daily basis- something I wonder about every time we do have an Indian dish, because seriously?

Cherry Strawberry Milkshake
a delicious cherry milkshake from Crestock Royalty Free Images I’m a sucker for Valentine’s Day. Yes, I buy into all the commercialism, the heart-shaped chocolate boxes, the teddies with t-shirts that say “I Luuuuv You”, the flowers. That said, my husband and I make it a point every year to spend Valentine’s Day at home. [...]
Pomegranate Martinis
love potion from Crestock Stock Photos Because my last post was mostly for the boys (it’s just something about guys and wings, no?), today I want to share a recipe for the girls. This martini, which gets its pink from pomegranate juice, is something my husband and his buddies wouldn’t touch with a ten foot [...]
Baked Wings
BBQ Chicken Wings from Crestock Creative Images With Superbowl Sunday coming up, it’s the perfect time to show you one of my favorite recipes. This is the one I pull out when my husband’s friends are coming over. Because they’re chicken wings, they’re tasty tasty tasty- and because they’re baked, not fried, you don’t have [...]
Hot Greek Meatballs & Cool Tzatziki
Beef from Crestock Creative Images I’m a huge fan of Tzatziki, a yogurt-cucumber-garlic sauce that somehow manages to taste creamy and rich and light all at the same time. A Tzatziki sauce can make or break a gyros sandwich, and when paired with a couple of skewers of homemade meatballs, is one of my favorite [...]
Elevating the Ordinary: Mascarpone Cupcakes
Here’s something I can never seem to tire of: cupcakes. You probably already have favorite chocolate cupcake and yellow cupcake recipes (if not, don’t worry- I’ll share my recipe for those soon enough!), and today I want to share with you another one that will definitely go on your list of favorites. That is, if [...]
