When we moved into our neighborhood, we were so lucky to have a nest of people around us who were already friends or who easily became friends in the first five minutes. We treasure those relationships, as will our kids for the many years we remain in the "Stone Buffalo" ...
I know the very best people. I know you think you do, but you're wrong. Because I do. So there. So, one of the people I know that falls into that "best" category is my friend Lynnette. And Lynnette just happens to be the daughter of some more "best" people: ...
This is summer. This is what it should taste like: Fresh, bright but a little earthy, too. Food that is meant to be eaten outside, in the sunshine, next to a body of water. A beloved neighbor recently moved across town, far away from us, so we had a little ...
So, it turns out I'm not very organized at home. I am so organized at work, but all of those skills get used up there and the home life gets the dregs at the bottom of the organizational barrel. At least, that is what I'm telling myself. Recently, I paid ...
I have now, twice in my life, made over 200 cupcakes at one time. Apparently making 200 cupcakes is a service I offer. I am not a great baker. I have never claimed to be a great baker. But somehow, I find myself in this place with increasing frequency. Next ...

So this is one of my go-to things for A) when I don't know what else to make or B) when my husband is watching sports with friends and I want them to be happy so I can watch trashy reality TV upstairs by myself. It has as many names ...
I'm all over the ramen thing. It's flooded with irony, because for all of the "poor college kid" eating I did (read: loads of hot dogs and mac and cheese and frozen burritos), I never did ramen. Not once. I proudly abstained, though I'm not sure why, in retrospect. My ...
When I started this clean eating project, I made a few solemn vows to myself. First, I vowed that no matter if I strayed and accidentally ate a bag of Doritos, I would come back and recover. In Weight Watchers, they used to use a car analogy: if you wake ...
I like to see how tasty I can make things even when I'm on the dieting wagon. I mean, a girl cannot live on salad alone, and sometimes you still want a plate of pasta or a cream sauce, so it's kind of a fun game to me to see ...
