Ketchup post

This post will have zero to do with ketchup, I’m just in a weird mood. Let’s CATCH UP. Desserts are all I want to make this time of year.  I need a good [but EASY] fudge recipe that doesn’t involve condensed milk.  Anyone?  Also, why does every brittle recipe require a candy thermometer.  I am not going to do that, but I want brittle.  Dilemmas. Ok, so real food. Ha.  Still not quite the “real” food I was hoping to get to.  But Costco just started carrying these for about half the price they usually are, so… Read more >

Lemon Poppyseed Bundt Cake

When we moved to this house, one of the (many) selling points was the backyard with so much gardening and planting potential.  There were fairly new citrus trees which my mom helped me prune and care for (because there were several diseased parts on them) and now that it’s winter they are bearing so much fruit!  We have lemons galore! [Side note: we were told there were two lemon trees and one lime tree, but I texted a photo to my mom last month to ask what was wrong with the lime tree (they were turning… Read more >

Random food things

Kyle was out of town the week before I went to NYC so I ate the same thing for lunch and dinner for four days in a row.  I am a creature of habit and thanks to the leftovers from Thanksgiving at my parents’ house, I had turkey for days. P was over the turkey by day two though. I took a few pics, but I can assure you there were plentyyyyyy more I didn’t photograph. I made a mayo/cranberry sauce chutney of sorts to eat with the turkey since I didn’t have gravy.  That and avocado… Read more >

Brooklyn weekend

Last weekend was my first ever time away from my little boy.  It had to happen eventually…and if I’m being honest, it wasn’t something I was looking forward to at all.  It’s not that I was concerned about him while I was away (Kyle is a completely hands-on parent and can take over seamlessly), I was concerned about how I would do while I was away.  Yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds.  The thing about being a stay at home mom is that (a) I’m always with my son and (b) we lead a… Read more >

Thanksgiving (2014) weekend

We had a wonderful weekend long Thanksgiving and I loved every second of it. Kyle and I went to my parents’ house on Wednesday and stayed through the weekend.  Super long time to visit and hang out with family and friends.  Just the way it should be 🙂 As per tradition (going on year two, ha) we feasted on Indian food take-out from Swad the night before.  We had all been prepping in the kitchen so clearly making Wednesday night’s dinner too wasn’t happening. On Thursday morning Kyle and I went on a run/walk with P… Read more >
