Over the weekend my parents hosted a New Year’s brunch with the usual spread of bagels, lox, fruit salad, sweets, and kugel. Wanting to add something to the meal, I flipped through my copy of Vegan Brunch, which is full of so many mouth-watering recipes (and photos to go with them) of all vegan brunch [...]

We had a blast ringing in the New Year with our friends this year, complete with food, cocktails, games, dogs, and an awkward Dick Clark on TV. We decided instead of battling restaurant crowds on the holiday, we’d make dinner at home and decided on DIY sushi! Armed with the following ingredients, we got rolling: [...]

Happy New Year, readers! So I’m a day late in doing my recap of 2010 before the clock struck midnight, but better late than never! I’d like to share with you some photos of the past year for a look waaaaaay back to 2010. It has been quite a year, and I have to say [...]

That’s right, it’s old news, but it’s still good news. Yesterday marked 1 year since Funk proposed and we decided to celebrate just like we did 365 days ago. Notice the similarities? Yep, that’s Funk wearing his same blue button down shirt, so I decided to put back on my hot pink “engagement dress” for [...]

While in Vermont, we cancelled our swanky dinner reservations for something more low-key and came across what we thought was Cappuccino’s restaurant in Ludlow, VT. When we called to make a reservation, they told us Cappuccino’s was no longer in business (despite the awning above the door saying it was) but a new restaurant, The [...]

Over the weekend Funk and I snuck off to Vermont for a relaxing weekend. We both just wrapped up our first semesters back in school and wanted to be completely unplugged. We stayed at this gorgeous Castle Hill Resort and Spa in Ludlow, VT, which is a neighboring town to the popular ski town, Okemo. [...]

We’re right in the midst of the biggest gift giving week of the year – what did you have on your wish list? Maybe something on this 2010′s Hottest Kitchen Gadgets list? I always seem to want a new kitchen gadget – last year my sister surprised me with a dehydrator, and a few years [...]

This weekend I had big goals: I was going to try my hand at making my first ever vegan pumpkin pie. Scratch that – making my first ever pumpkin pie! I was so excited – I had my kitchen counter covered with a bunch of different recipes I was going to edit and piece together [...]

  I had a big honkin’ acorn squash that I picked up from the farmer’s market that I wanted to stuff for dinner last night. When it comes to winter squash, I you can either go sweet or savory and last night I was feeling sweet so I mixed together: 1 golden apple, diced 3 [...]

This past weekend Funk went grocery shopping before I had time to brainstorm dinner ideas and jot some foods down on our shopping list. I hate going into the week unprepared food-wise, but this is a short week for food since we’re heading away for our friends Katherine and Craig’s wedding! So when Sunday night [...]
