Woke to a foggy Thanksgiving morning, a great misty view from our back porch. (Brief update: This photo collection won the Thanksgiving Photo Challenge on Food52 last week! The collections were so awesome so I was surprised and excited to win. Thank you for voting for these photos!) Filled old mason jars with tea lights…

Update: Here’s a great article on this fabulous duo. I have a dream. I have a dream that someday I’ll be experienced and eloquent enough to write a cookbook as subtle and inspiring as Canal House Cooking. These books are so good. I devoured volume no. 1 in the course of a weekend. I’m treasuring

Sis Deli + Cafe Boutiques in Finland

Design is such a priority overseas, especially when it pertains to food. I wanted to share the cutest little cafe/deli that has several outposts in Finland. I can’t understand anything on the actual Website for the Sis Deli + Cafe, but Remodelista did a little write-up to share the details of their interior design and

Peace Before Thanksgiving

My girlfriend Lise snapped this photo of the hubby, the dog and me last weekend. Every time I peek at it, I remember that walk along Singing Beach in Manchester, MA. Remnants of a hurricane had created rocky seas and the mist in the air was otherworldly and peaceful. Really. The hubby grabbed my hand

Pumpkin-Spice Muffins

About three years ago, as I was watching an episode of the Martha Stewart Show, I had my own mini-epiphany. I was watching a young, self-taught baker school Martha in the ways of organic, all-natural, vegan baking. Martha, the expert at basically everything, was being nudged around by a slight and slightly spicy Erin McKenna,

Dulcinea

I am in love with food businesses that come to life because of an appreciation of the simple life and a respect for culinary traditions. As a home cook and supporter of all things “boutique,” I totally understand that need to bow to how food was made and shared decades ago. Emma Bowen started Dulcinea

Lyon Industrial Stools

I love mixing warm woods with cool steel in a kitchen. My own kitchen is a bit of a mish-mash with wood cabinets, honed granite counter tops (made to look like soapstone) and stainless steel open shelves. I started it’s redesign a few years ago and though the bones are complete, it’s still a work

Sweet Potato & Pineapple Soup

This was a spur of the moment creation that I submitted to a contest on Food52.com last week. The combo may sound odd, but it evolved from my stint living in the Midwest, where potlucks are aplenty and the combo of sweet potato, pineapple and marshmallow made for a fun casserole dish. The final soup

Jamie Magazine Arrives

About a month ago, I gave into my wild and crazy epicurean needs by subscribing to Jamie Oliver’s new magazine. It was quite the investment, especially consider the state of the U.S. dollar, but I love his shows, books and recipes… His casual cooking style makes me feel justified in approaching fancy meals with a

Ice Milk Aprons

I am a sucker for a pretty apron, and have a small collection of new and vintage aprons to dress me up when I’m getting serious in the kitchen. I adore the line of Ice Milk Aprons and wish for each and every one of you to receive one this holiday season. Or just buy

Keep Calm Gallery Tea Towels

Cute tea towels are all the rage and this line really makes me smile. I suppose the “Keep Calm And Carry On” quote is a bit overused now. Fine by me, as I think it’s about time someone promoted eating greens. Dark, leafy greens are my absolute favorite vegetable. See the entire line of eloquent
