    With a winter storm scheduled to hit Kansas City this last weekend, I knew I needed to be prepared, so I stocked up on wine from Royal Liquor (and brownies). I take winter preparedness very seriously. If you’re unfamiliar with Royal Liquor, it’s located at 103rd and State Line in Kansas City, Missouri. Their resident…

    After just a few days as a vegeterian, I can officially tell you it is hard, and it’s not because the food isn’t good – it really is. The difficult part, for me at least, is the planning. I knew I wanted to launch this experiment in March, but for some reason, I didn’t prepare well. The…

    I’ve always loved Valentine’s Day. It is, in fact, my favorite holiday. I know it’s commercially created and completely made-up. I’ve heard it all. Blah, blah, blah. I don’t care. To me, there is something nice about a day dedicated to showing the people you love that you care about them. Really, what’s wrong with…

    So, this month I tackled Mark Bittman’s cookbook, The Food Matters Project and am completely obsessed. It is an amazing book that has given me some great tips and taught me a lot about food. I can’t recommend it highly enough. If you’re not familiar with Bittman, he is a prolific food writer who’s written…

    The photos in the post were taken by Miss Megan. Thanks! This year, I chose five items off my Life List as New Year’s Resolutions. While a few were difficult, I also selected some that would be simple and fun. Throwing a champagne brunch was on my list, and let me tell you, I’ve never…

    For years, I’ve read great things about Marcella Hazan’s tomato sauce. Each blogger posted rave reviews about this simple sauce, so when I set out to tackle this month’s food project, a tomato sauce from scratch, I knew this was where I had to start. The sauce has just three simple ingredients: canned tomatoes, an onion and butter. All of which…

    As soon as winter hits, I can’t get enough of clementines. I only discovered them a year ago and was immediately obsessed. Tart and sweet, they have such a beautiful taste and smell. I thought they could really take something as simple as a corn muffin to the next level. Ground almonds and black pepper give…
