Autumn & Jerry

Personally, the holidays seem to fly by in a magic flash starting back at Halloween, but especially between Thanksgiving & Christmas! Before we know it, 2010 will be celebrating its finale and 2011 will be here. Every single year I say I’m going to slow down and try to enjoy every moment more than the [...]

Waking up to a cloudy, quiet morning after sleeping in is a good recipe for comfort. Checking my email and seeing an entire list of comfort food casseroles from MyRecipes.com waiting for me was a nice touch to an already lovely morning. With a few minor modifications, such as substituting veggie broth for the chicken [...]

I am often finding little things here and there, whether it be a new food item (like this week), a new store, a new concept, or a new TV show. I always like to share cool new finds, because that’s how I’ve come across lots of can’t-live-withouts from others making the effort to share a [...]

On Saturday night we hosted a dinner party featuring homemade pizza, accompanied by caesar salad, and a tasty pecan pie trifle flanked by fresh chocolate covered strawberries. It was YUM-O! We enjoyed our company & conversation. Thanks to all who joined us! : – )

A week ago today, my honey & I celebrated Vegan Love Day. We made up our own holiday. We prepared a vegan feast of made-from-scratch split pea soup, fresh sourdough bread, and coffee-chocolate cupcakes. We lit candles and actually sat down to eat at the table. We cooked, we laughed, we took pictures, we talked, [...]

A few days ago Jerry sent me a link to an article in the New York Times that raved about the wonders of pressure cookers. I read the sample recipe, and had to admit that it did sound like a valuable kitchen gadget. We looked at a few reviews online, and last night we dashed [...]

Jerry & I have renewed our commitment to eating well, and are currently 4 days into being 100% vegan and cooking healthy meals at home. We’re McDougall-ing, and I think it’s safe to say we are both already feeling a spring in our step. I sleep better at night, and we’re both jazzed about getting [...]

Poor Jerry was out of town for a short & unplanned trip, so we couldn’t bring in the new year together. Still, I managed to have fun & ring it in with style! My brother & I went Downtown for dinner at a local pizzeria (not good.), coffee & dessert at Dolce Vita (awesome!!!), champagne [...]

Jerry found out about this nifty little gadget a few months ago thanks to Wired magazine, and it was perfect for us. Not only was it affordable, garnering excellent reviews from tough critics, and appealing to my coffee connoisseur hubby, but our beloved french press had been broken by someone sweet who shall remain nameless. [...]

We got up early and braved the rain to grab some coffee & do some shopping in Savannah before making our way to our second destination, the lovely city of Charleston. The weather was far from perfect, but in truth it didn’t slow us down much at all. With Starbucks in hand (piping hot Awake [...]
