Hi! I had my bachelorette party and lived to tell the tale! It was a lot of fun, my friends are just so amazing. I don’t have pictures because in classic Hallie form, I took 5 pictures at the start of the day and then totally forgot about my camera. My friends were amazing photographers [...]

When Life Hands You Mangoes
…you make mango salsa! And by “life” I mean “your fiancé’s stepmom” and by “hands you” I mean “you come home and find out you’re been gifted about eight sorta-sour mangoes and you’re not sure how to use it all up.” I looked up a few recipes for mango salsa but didn’t really see anything [...]
He Runs, She Reads and (Infrequently) Cooks
Well, hello! What have I been up to since I last posted (thanks for your awesome comments on my last post, by the way)? There was this half marathon… Ha! Gotcha. I so did not run a half. This guy did: That is SO the face of a man who needs a haircut is excited [...]
Return to Your Breath
Boy oh boy. Where to begin. Well first, let’s pick a winner for my Rinaldi Pasta Sauce giveaway! I only had 5 people enter the giveaway, which I blame on faulty marketing on my part. I mean, I didn’t even list an end date for the contest! Blogger fail. Anyway, the lucky winner is… Lynn [...]
Product Review: Francesco Rinaldi To Be Healthy Pasta Sauce
GIVEAWAY at the end of this post! Whoo hoo. Have I talked about Mitch’s homemade pasta sauce? Probably. I renamed it “Italian chili” because we never eat pasta around these parts (which is not my preference but his, FYI) so calling it spaghetti sauce seemed just wrong. But anyway. It’s really good and packed with [...]
Product Review: TofuXPress
Happy July 1! I know I’m getting older because I’ve turned into one of those people who keep saying things like, “HOW is it July already?” I don’t even have anything all that exciting going on right now, and time is flying by. Anyone doing anything fun this weekend? My agenda includes things like: running [...]
A Second Frittata Attempt
Earlier this week, the following meal was brought about by a few things: It was finally my turn to cook, since my guy has been cooking up a storm (umm…he might have baked cornbread from scratch last night to go with chili…that he also made). I knew I’d be getting home late-ish, and needed something [...]
Boyfriend in the Kitchen
Good evening! Monday’s are pretty rough, but at least it’s behind us now, right? You may have noticed (or not?) that I haven’t been posting recipes on the ole blog lately, or as often as I used to. This is because I was getting into a bit of a cooking rut, and I wasn’t about [...]
Quinoa and Countdowns
Two more days…two more days…two more days of work until my vacation! I’m totally doing the pre-vacation dance. And the countdown. Actually, that’s not even true that I’m done in two days. I’m working overtime at my museum on Saturday and Sunday, and we leave for Boston on Monday. Somewhere in there I need to [...]
Semi-homemade Curried Turkey and Vegetables
Hey! It’s April 30, or as it’s known around here “t minus 7 days until my birthday.” Does anyone have any suggestions on crazy things I should do while I’m still young? I don’t know why but 26 just sounds so much older than 25. It’s like, 25 is carefree and reckless living while 26 [...]
