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 [...]
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 [...]
Hallie’s Highlights
Hey all! I’m waiting for my salad maker to finish prepping before dinner (I made an attempt to “Healthy Twist”-ify pulled pork again, and I think the meat still going to be dry but at least we have Mitch’s amazing homemade BBQ sauce to compensate) so I thought I’d show you some highlights from last [...]
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 [...]
Quitter, Quitter, Chicken Dinner
Ever since I had that sage fried chicken, I’ve been obsessed with combining sage and chicken again, but a much healthier version. So of course, when I went to the store, they were all out of sage. All they had was a “poultry mix” of herbs, so I picked it up. The mix of rosemary, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
