Chocolate Velvet 3.14 (Pie)
📍 WyomingIf you’re nerdy like me, there is only one way to celebrate March 14th, a.k.a. ∏ day. And that’s with a delicious homemade pie, of course. I almost baked a “healthier” fruit pie (the kind that I have been known to also let Nora eat for breakfast), but since my father-in-law is visiting and I…

Perfection
I’m still working on Miss Zara’s birth story, but I wanted to share a quick update on how we’re doing. And, honestly, the title of this post says it all. I couldn’t imagine a better beginning to our little entry into the world. Everything about this experience, from the birth to the past two days…

Peppermint Fudge Cookies
I am so, so, so close to finishing a couple websites, it is killing me. So instead of sitting around staring at my email box, I decided to make myself useful and make cookies. The kind of cookies that I’ve been dying to make since I secretly rejoiced at Nora’s rejection of her stocking peppermint…

But I won’t lie, it’s taken me a while to adapt to eating on Nantucket where everything is more expensive, the growing season…

Cranberry Wild Rice Soup
Apparently I’m making up for lost time (and proving just how obsessed with soup I am) because I have not only another recipe to share this week, but another soup recipe. What can I say…it’s October and Nantucket isn’t letting us forget it. We’ve we’ve seen clouds more than blue sky since the beginning of the…

Strawberry Syrup
One of my favorite things about summer’s abundance is making up for our fruit-starved winters with fruit overload. Though Nantucket doesn’t have the same local variety that comes with pick-your-own orchards over every hill as in the Hudson Valley, we still make the most of summer fruits eating them every way imaginable. Fruit syrup…

Wordless Wednesday: Someone Ate the Last One…
And now I’m torturing myself with photographs.
