CT & TT Family Dinner at Aunt B’s

As you may or may not remember, my Aunt B likes to host dinner parties. They can be quite epic events upon themselves and a holiday of their own like Christmas. Since she has gotten to know CT’s parents quite well, she invited both of our families over for a feast. She was the lucky person to attend both dinners CT & I made for our respective parents, so it was fitting that she made dinner for all of us (including CT’s sister and brother-in-law). Unfortunately, my sister who just returned from living in Costa Rica for the past year [...]

Super Bowl XLVI

Have you ever wondered what I eat when I throw my own parties? It’s been a super long time since I’ve posted about my adventures in hosting, because it’s been that long since I hosted. I post about Feisty Family parties sometimes – and those are often some of my most popular posts – but that’s more a collaboration of many people. Well, Super Bowl Sunday was fast approaching and I was only invited to one Super Bowl party. As it was both upstate and hosted by someone with whom I’m not close, I suggested just watching the game at [...]

Cooking for DLS

One of the (many) ways I show people that I care is cooking for them. I’ve had a few chances to thank DLS for being such a wonderful friend by cooking for him, and thought I’d share some of what I’ve made so far. After a day of apartment viewing, Shake Shack eating, and just general wandering around, being inside Eataly gave me the bright idea of making dinner to eat while watching the Pro Bowl. (Yes, that’s how long ago this was.) Because I was going to have to use his kitchen, I chose to use some shortcuts instead [...]

FBM Cookie Swap 2011

As I mentioned, we went to dell’danima to exchange cookies for the annual FBM Cookie Swap. Hungry and KC really outdid themselves this year. Hungry offered up three kinds of cookies: chocochubbies (top), nutter butter (right), and lemon sandwich cookies (left).  While all three were very good, the chocochubbies’ texture was fantastic, and the lemon ones were really nice – a little tang, slightly sweet.  I’m very finicky about peanut butter, so good as the nutter butters were, they didn’t have a shot at making my favorite.  KC offered up an entire box of goodies – shortbread heart with chocolate, [...]

Glad to Give: Cookies for Kids’ Cancer

Cancer sucks.  There’s no other way to put it.  Honestly, this is a food blog so I rarely if ever talk about it, but cancer is definitely one of those things that I just don’t understand – especially that, with all of our advances in medicine and science, how we still haven’t found the cure.  Or at least a preventative.  Or something!!!  It’s so frustrating to know that we’re still not there yet.  With that in mind, I recently signed up for a Foodbuzz Tastemaker’s Program to help spread awareness about a really special program.  From my email: Did you [...]
