As I’ve mentioned, there’s been quite a bit of “non-Hallie-like” meals that have left me feeling a bit…blah. But, I’ve realized that there is always something going on—there will always be a birthday or a barbecue or a staff party in which yummy treats/booze will be served, so I’ll never have an “ideal time to [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Easy Appetizer: Just Add Puff Pastry!
Well, another football season has come and gone (I know, most of you are devastated). On Sunday we had 18 people over to watch the big game, which was a tight squeeze given our small condo, but we made it work. I think a good time was had by all, and as usual we had [...]
Rah Rah for Raw Kale and Running
Good evening! Have you entered my “blog birthday” giveaway yet? There aren’t that many entries, so your chances are pretty good! (Don’t call it a “blogiversary.” I don’t know what but I’m not a fan of the term. I think the two ladies who I share my CSA goodies with are sick of kale, because [...]
Not the New Rules of Blondie Baking
As I mentioned, I made blondies for the terribly sad and depressing and I don’t want to talk about it football game on Sunday. And as anything with a stick of butter and a cup of brown sugar would be, they were really, really good. They have the texture of a brownie with the taste [...]
Caught the Photography Bug Today
Hello there! I was kind of in hiding last week. Well, I was still reading and commenting on your blogs, but I felt uninspired to post anything to mine. So I didn’t. But now I’m back! Today, I took a photography class hosted by my museum. (We do all kinds of programs/classes/lectures and sometimes staff [...]
Pinot and Pizza with the BFF
Happy Last Day of 2009! My week off is not nearly as relaxing (meaning, not nearly enough TV time) as I was hoping but I have been cooking and exercising, which were two things I wanted to do as much as possible without that pesky job getting in my way. Right now I’m mid-prep for [...]
Frittata for the Grinch
Hello out there! I’ve got to get to bed because I have a date with my puppy and some hills in the morning. (Love my walking partner!) But I wanted to first of all say thank you for your well wishes and tips for my Boston trip. I still can’t believe I won and I’m [...]
Life in List Form
Hey! Remember me? I’m Hallie and I have a blog It’s finals time for Mitch which means editing time for Hallie. I love editing and proofreading, actually, so I don’t mind at all. But it means less time for blogging! (Side note, for you students out there, if you’re looking for reference info at the [...]
