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 [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Valentine’s Day Hike Recap and a Vegan Recipe
Hello! How was everyone’s weekend? I had yesterday off for President’s Day so today felt like a Monday, and not a normal one at that, since I was in an all-day seminar all about mobile media that was way over my head. And tomorrow at work we’re doing a press conference in the morning, which [...]
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 [...]
