100% Homemade Chicken Soup via Crock Pot

Who makes soup when the weather is really warm and lovely out? Oh, I do. But we knew that. This time I did something new though…I made the stock! But, first, backing up… Over the weekend, we went to a small Passover Seder (yes, I know, we’re early. We don’t like to conform) and as [...]

I Cannot Enjoy OIAJ

I could never deprive her of peanut butter joy. Have a great weekend!

Bribing with Baked Goods

Oh man…I am so glad today is (just about) over! It was my “12-hour work day” with early morning media for our new exhibit, so I’m glad it’s done and we got some good coverage. In order to bribe thank the people in other departments for helping out with the press, I decided to do [...]

Tiquismiquis Trail Mix

How I Stir Fry

In my last post I talked about one of my two “go-to” meals, a big pot of yummy soup. I mentioned my other "go-to” was a big stir fry. Just like with my soup-making skillz, I feel like I’ve gotten pretty good at making a decent stir fry. I press a block of extra-firm tofu [...]

Black Bean Chipotle Soup

I think my two favorite things to cook are stir fries and soup. (Mmmm…fries….oh wait. Never mind). I love them because they are easy, relatively quick to pull together, and are so adaptable. Plus there’s the potential for lots of leftovers and the ability to basically throw whatever you have in the kitchen together for [...]

My New Blue Toy

Susan was right, I got a new camera! I went with the one I’d been eyeing, a Canon Powershot SD1200 IS. It’s so much faster and smaller (yet the screen is way bigger) than my other camera and although they say megapixels don’t matter that much, my old camera was 5 MP and this one [...]
