I am going home in about two weeks to visit my family and friends for the first time since Christmas, and just thinking about it made me start craving my parents’ home cooked Greek food again. I’ve already put in a  Pastichio request to...

The weather has been really nice these past few days, warm in the upper 70’s with a cool breeze, very spring-y. For some reason when the weather starts to turn warm again I always find myself craving berries, and I’d been wanting to make...

      I’ve been catching up on a lot of household chores this weekend, and our new place only has an AC unit in the living room so I’ve reallllly been feeling the heat wave we’ve had in Southern California. To combat this,...

This past week has been a whirlwind. We’re still unpacking from our move, and since the storage space in the kitchen is lacking we’re building our own little kitchen hutch from scratch, which means I’ve spent the majority of my weekend in and out...

A little over a week ago Jeremy was out of town for work and I was left with the apartment all to myself. What is a young lady to do under these circumstances, you ask? Why, throw a Downton Abby-themed view-a-thon for herself and...

Last weekend I had an itch for something chocolatey, and after hearing Jeremy mention that brownies were one of his favorite desserts, I decided to whip some up. They were easy to make, and although this recipe does call for some chocolate and butter...

Last weekend I was craving pasta like a mad woman. Nothing else would have satisfied me other than a steaming hot plate of Italian noodles with some sort of creamy sauce poured all over and in it. So I headed over to Trader Joe’s...
