For those prepping for Superbowl weekend and looking for snacks to serve at your party, I thought I’d share our spinach & artichoke dip recipe – it’s the best! Most recipes call for a large amount of mayo (blech) so this one is a more homemade, less creamy version of the norm. Hot Spinach ArtichokeContinue reading “Spinach Artichoke Dip”

Caramel Cookies
Sooooo, I’m not supposed to be eating dessert because I’m trying to lose my baby weight (I’m almost there!). However, on a snowy day as was this past Saturday, there is nothing better than baking, so, we made some cookies. I was flipping through my Feb issue of Martha Stewart Living and the photo ofContinue reading “Caramel Cookies”
Board Book Literary Classics
I thought these books were such a cute idea that I had to get them for our baby girl – classic novels turned into board books for babies! They are from the Babylit Board Book collection. I picked the board book version of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet and Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice for herContinue reading “Board Book Literary Classics”
Omelets for Dummies
My husband and I love to make omelets, but we are really bad at the flipping and the folding and making it look like an actual omelet. Our omelets in the past have always disappointingly turned into cheese and veggie scrambled eggs. So, for Christmas, I bought my husband this special omelet-making pan. It’s soContinue reading “Omelets for Dummies”
Milly Sperry’s
Who doesn’t love Sperry Top-Sider shoes – comfy, cute, practical, and super preppy. Sperry’s have come a long way since their original boat shoe usage – I got a pair a few years ago in gold that I have never worn on a boat even once! Well, for Spring 2012, Milly has partnered with SperryContinue reading “Milly Sperry’s”
The Good Chili
My husband and I frequently make a delicious and healthy chili with kidney and black beans and ground turkey – a traditional recipe with chili powder and cumen. But, every once in a while, he makes this Good Chili with beer, steak, and coffee…it’s phenomenal! In light of all of the football related weekends comingContinue reading “The Good Chili”
Cash”miracle”
Do you remember that episode of Sex and the City when Carrie’s friend Susan Sharon (with the husband “ON LONDON TIME!”) gave her a gorgeous cashmere scarf that Carrie deemed a cash”miracle” when she heard the price Susan paid for it? Well I had my own cash”miracle” this weekend I thought I’d share… I wasContinue reading “Cash”miracle””
Blueberry Muffins
We found ourselves with an extra pint of blueberries after a “buy 1 get 1 free” sale at our grocery store last week so we decided to make blueberry muffins for breakfast. I used my new Gwyneth Paltrow cookbook (got it for Christmas!) for the recipe and between the 2 blueberry muffin recipes in theContinue reading “Blueberry Muffins”
Colorful Paper Art
Sometimes you just can’t find the right art for a wall in your house and it’s very frustrating. I had this experience when we first moved into our house 3 years ago when I wanted everything decorated ASAP. We had just painted our master bedroom a lovely teal green and bought a brown-based comforter andContinue reading “Colorful Paper Art”
Breakfast Pizza
The perfect way to start 2012 is with a dynamite brunch… A few weeks ago at our baby’s Christening Brunch, my husband ordered this amazing breakfast pizza with sausage, goat cheese, and a fried egg on top. It was so memorable and delicious (yes, I couldn’t resist trying a bite!) that we decided to re-makeContinue reading “Breakfast Pizza”
