I cannot live without a calendar at home, work, and synchronized on my phone. As you’ve likely noticed though, I haven’t posted in months. I could make excuses, but I prefer […]

Truffle Butter

by Lizzy 16 April 2014 Food

Growing up in my household meant Easter was a grandiose religious holiday with an equally impressive dinner to celebrate.

Glazed Carrots

by Lizzy 9 April 2014 Food

Generally, once a month I get an urgent and insistent hankering for some particular food that is, of course, nowhere to be found in my kitchen.

by Lizzy 18 December 2013 Food

My Esposito has come a long way in his cooking, and as I mentioned previously he can now cook a lot of dishes on his own. Because we are both the eldest children in our families we’re used to being the boss and that leads to ignoring my instructions in the kitchen sometimes. While I […]

by Lizzy 13 December 2013 Food

 This time of year, I cook more than usual, as I’m sure many home cooks do during the holidays. The biggest favor a friend of mine did was give me this Wüsthof Classic Santoku 5-inch Knife. See, I have small hands. In fact, they’re so small my friends and even my husband make fun of […]

Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Hazelnuts

by Lizzy 11 December 2013 Food

Have you noticed green vegetables have made a resurgence? Spinach, Brussels sprouts and kale (apparently now on its way out) have all held the limelight at one point in recent food history.
