What a busy weekend! We were so blessed this Easter to get the chance to spend lots of time with friends and family. On Saturday, our dear friends Seema & Tim hosted a brunch and egg hunt for the kids. They live on a huge, grassy lot with a creek running along the back of [...]

Mahi burgers, crawling babies, and teeth – oh my

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a recipe for you. Occasionally, Jimmy and I make delicious meals at home, though not nearly as often as our pre-Addie days (we cook at home often, just not delicious meals that are blog-worthy!). Lately, anything we cook seems to be a distant second to the exciting things [...]
Cooking Therapy
Posted in recipes on February 7, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
For me, cooking is like retail therapy without the lingering feeling of buyer’s remorse. I spent many grad school days in the kitchen baking cakes, experimenting with new recipes and making huge messes to get me through projects. While at the Palms, I had an amazing co-worker, the author of cb&j blog, who I’d share [...]

What a wonderful first Christmas for Adelyn! We’ve been so busy enjoying our first few weeks with her. In the days leading up to Christmas, she had quite a few adventures. She had a photo session with the wonderfully talented Kendall Price (click here for a slide show of pictures from the shoot). And she finally [...]
Happy Friday!

Three weeks into the semester and I’m feeling burnt out already! I’ve given two presentations, wrote one 10-page research paper, started a blog and read three books. What have I gotten myself into? Yesterday was my first day without school related work to do. I visited my dear friend Lindsay and her precious little baby and watched [...]

I hope you’ve enjoyed the week of food! This is the last recipe post for now. We’re heading to EDH today to celebrate Jimmy’s birthday, but before we leave, I want to share this last recipe…breakfast (or brinner, if you prefer, I’d never turn down breakfast for dinner)! During the week, my breakfast usually consists [...]
Pizza – Three Ways
Posted in recipes on January 6, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I’m not one to brag, but Jimmy and I make a mean pizza! When we lived in Vegas, there was this little place right by our house called Mark Rich’s NY Pizza which we just adored. We received a pizza stone for a wedding gift (nearly 5 years ago) but rarely used it until Mark Rich’s inspired [...]
Roasted Red Pepper and Spinach Penne

I’ve been vegetarian for about two years now. It all started when a friend of mine mentioned that another of our friends read the book Skinny Bitch and went vegan. My first thought was, “A book won’t make you go vegan, I’m going to prove it.” So, I read it in one sitting, made Jimmy [...]

With just two weeks to go in my winter break, I think it’s time to share some amazing recipes with you. Jimmy and I have been cooking some fabulous meals over the past four weeks, possibly the best we’ve cooked ever! I posted links to some tasty seasonal dishes in my Christmas recap, so we’ll take [...]
Our Christmas Vacation

After almost a week in Vegas, we’re back in the Reno cold. We had such a great visit with family and friends. The pugs were surprisingly well behaved in the car and aside from snow blowing across the highway through the entire middle of the state, it was a pretty nice drive. It sure looked [...]
