Don’t you love crab cakes? I mean who doesn’t, unless you have a tragic shelfish allergy (hi Dad!). As a lifelong Maryland girl, I think a love of crab cakes is practically REQUIRED. It might even be a question on the Maryland High School exit exams–you love crab cakes (true or false). Answer wrong and [...]

Are you tired of summer squash yet? Maybe I’m just some kind of super squash loving freak, but I’m not even close to being tired of summer squash yet. When I sent Noel off to the Sunday Farmer’s Market, it was with the instruction to “buy more squash!” He made the face though, so I [...]

Ah, cobbler. One of my first, and favorite, summertime food memories. First and favorite, because you see, my mom’s family is from the South.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but it’s been H-O-T here on the east coast. Like, more days over 90 degrees than ever before in my expert meteorological memory. Right after the fourth, we had a day where the actual temperature–not the heat index–hit 105. Yikes! We were at the shore that day, [...]

A year ago I started 990 Square in the hopes of sharing my little Baltimore story with the world. I love to cook, I love to take pictures, and I wanted to share. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this year, and I have you all to thank. This blog has introduced me to many wonderful people, many [...]

This is the time of the year when we should be easing from summer into spring around these parts. Warmer days, cool nights, and none of that oppressive humidity that the mid-atlantic is soooo famous for.
