A few weeks ago, I had a predicament. Eileen and I–pretty much without consulting our husbands–had decided to do a new years dinner party. And we had invited 12 for a formal sit down. At first, we were thinking we would do something over the top fancy, like crab, lobster, or some other spectacular seafood. [...]

Do you have one holiday dessert that you come back to year after year? Something that always tastes fantastic and fresh, no matter how many times you make it? Something that won you a place in the heart of your in-laws? Well this is my *one* dessert. How did I end up with my *one*? [...]

In case I haven’t explicitly stated it before, let me say this now and for the record–my office LOVES to eat. We’re a group of people looking for a party and the food that goes with it! So when the idea of a “Taste Around the World” event came up during our recent charity drive, [...]

Happy National Bundt Day everyone! Did you really expect me to let this holiday pass without some kind of celebration?

He prefers his vegetables savory, and his [...]

So I will admit, I was brought to this recipe by a joiner instinct. I’m usually not much of a joiner, preferring instead to be my own personal cruise director most of the time, but sometimes something that everybody else is doing just seems so wonderful, that I just have to try it out myself.

People have many reasons for loving the fall. The leaves, the cool weather after the heat of another long summer, the football, apples and pumpkins. Some people (maybe me) love the fall because it ushers in the holiday season, our favorite time of the year. But Noel, my friends, has a very unique reason for [...]

So yeah, I didn’t quite make it with my last pumpkin recipe yesterday. Somehow, Halloween ended up being way crazier than I had planned. I decided, sort of at the last minute, that I would join the mayhem in in Fells Point last night. And that decision derailed other plans for the day, like blogging, [...]
