Chip Taste-Testing and a Raisin Recipe

“You get some weird things in the mail.” This is what my darling fiancé said when I came home to this: I don’t remember exactly, but I think it was on Jenna’s blog that I found a link where I could request a sample of red lentils. And, since I’m planning on milking the “I’m [...]

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 [...]

Warning: Cupcake Cuteness Ahead

Well, I’m now officially 26. My mom even said something like, “Jeez…25 is such a nice number. 26 sounds like it’s practically 30.” (Gee, thanks, Mom. I can’t be too mad at her seeing as how she was a pretty important part of me having a birthday, and also…she can’t talk to me about being [...]

Pumpkin Chocolate-Chip Blondies with Side Notes

Hellooo! How is everyone’s week going so far? Mine’s going…ok, I guess. Work is busy which is always nice, and I worked on a freelance project last night that was looming over my head so it was nice to get things done. Side note 1: check out my new blog header! I’ll link to the [...]

Representing San Diego Left and Right

I freely admit that I am a lucky duck to live in San Diego. It’s no fault of my own really; my parents decided that San Diego was just nicer than Brooklyn so they moved here before I was born (not that I’d be upset to live in NYC, because I have a ridiculous obsession [...]

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 [...]

Milk and Cookies (review post)

I know, it’s not Christmas anymore, but I finally feel prepared to give my first review of the amazing stash of Newman’s Own Organics products I was sent to review for the blog. Some cookies are very camera-shy so you’ll have to picture and Oreo, and an Oreo with chocolate filling. That’s what they Newman [...]

Not Exactly Healthy Twists

Happy Monday! I hope some of you have today, or this whole week off like I do. (Yes, I’m bragging. Just give it to me, ok?) I wasn’t around blog land too much these past few days, because I’ve been spending time with friends and family. Which is kind of what holidays are for, right? [...]

Christmas Came Early

Look what I had waiting for me when I came home today: I entered Brie’s Chobani giveaway, and I won! I think the yogurt gods are smiling down on me or something. Now, since Oikos is sending me to a yoga retreat (not to mention I love the product!), I am a pretty loyal customer [...]

Secret-Ingredient Recipe Testing

Hello friends! First off I feel the need to apologize for not being as “on it” with commenting on your blogs as I usually am. I’m still reading (believe me!) but I’ve been super busy this past week with my freelance side job, and I’m trying to be responsible (since, you know, I get paid [...]
