OK, OK. I get it. You don’t really care about salads and quinoa and beans. That was evident when I took a bunch of cookies outside for my neighbors. Sara, (of Sassy Suppers), was clearly thrilled. “You’re baking again!” she said, before listing all the boring things I’ve been blogging about lately. So I figured […]
Beans and rice: healthy, cheap, easy, filling… and kinda boring, right? But it doesn’t have to be. This recipe from Bon Appetit takes what is probably the most frequently eaten dish in the world and gives it a little extra oomph (without adding too much extra time). The most interesting part of this, for me, […]
I learned to swim when I was 22 months old, and I grew up with a pool in my backyard. So even though I (foolishly) quit swim team in elementary school, swimming has always been relatively easy and natural for me. When my family was living in Brussels, I would swim laps every day at […]

Merry Christmas! From your friendly neighborhood weirdos. (We were wearing those costumes for a holiday pub crawl. I promise.)
Remember when I told you that my mom and I think Bobby Flay is trying to kill us? This is one of the reasons we came to that conclusion. But, I can’t deny that it’s a delicious holiday dessert. So let’s dive in. My mom baked this particular loaf of pumpkin bread, but that sunken […]
Toby and I went to my parents’ house for Thanksgiving, and now we’re in Jekyll Island, Ga., with his family for Christmas. (It’s really beautiful here — and really warm. I swam outside today!) Anyway, my mom put the Christmas decorations up and made Christmas dinner two nights after Thanksgiving so we could celebrate with […]
