Back to Flex Mussels

Living in NYC, we don’t go to the same restaurant twice unless it is really good.  Last time we went to Flex Mussels, we had a wonderful experience, and I have not been able to get the deep fried whoopie pie out of my head since!  So when our friends suggested Flex Mussels for dinner [...]

Brownies for a Guest

One of my best friends is coming to town. Kristen and I have been friends since we were in 2nd grade.  No, that is a lie.  We have known each other since then but actually weren’t really friends until 6th grade.  I don’t really remember why it took so long, but we have been best [...]

Topped with Marshmallows

It seems that there are two types of people when it comes to a Sweet Potato Casserole: Those who cover theirs with toasty melty marshmallows, and those who don’t.  Do you think I am biased? You already know I love to sneak dessert-like side dishes onto my table.  Why wouldn’t I top my Sweet Potato [...]

Brownies of Childhood Fantasies

I learned to bake by watching my mom, the Original Baker.  Most of my memories are of standing next to her at the kitchen counter as she measured ingredients and put them together effortlessly.  I’d help pour the sugar into the bowl or turn on the mixer, and sometimes even crack the eggs.  The best [...]

Thanks.

Happy almost Thanksgiving! In honor of the holiday, I thought I would take a step back from the craziness of life to think about everything I am thankful for.  Life can be so stressful.  Most people, including myself, take so many of the important things for granted on a daily basis and get stressed about [...]
