Mmmm, strawberry shortcake. I’ve been dying to make this since I saw the recipe posted on The Art of Being Perfect. Of course, things being what they are in my kitchen, I had issues with one of the key ingredients — the strawberries. I’m pretty sure strawberries aren’t in season anymore, and there was no way…read more »

It feels a little pretentious to be doing a “best of” post, seeing as how I’ve had this blog for just under a year…and there was a pretty big gap in the middle there with zero cooking/blogging. Also, who the hell do I think I am? A famous food blogger? As if, right? Still, everyone…read more »

Apparently Thursdays are now “pork chop” days, because this is two weeks running that we’ve eaten pork for dinner. What can I say, I’m unimaginative in my eating. Also, I still have a million pork chops in the freezer that need to get eaten. And I just love pork, period. It’s like Anthony Bourdain once…read more »

There is way too much food in our freezer. We’ve got a billion packets of bacon, tubs of uneaten ice cream, endless gallon bags stuffed with steaks, chicken breasts, pork chops, salmon filets and tilapia. I think there might even be a container of scallops somewhere in the back. Why? Because we live a block…read more »

Lately Dan and I have been eating a lot of mozzarella sticks, leftover takeout, and cold pizza. My mom’s birthday lunch kind of burned me out on the cooking front, and I haven’t been able to muster the energy to whip up anything blog-worthy. There were the glazed, grilled pork chops last Friday, but…I was…read more »

I have the best mother on the planet. I know everyone thinks their mother is the best, but take my word for it guys…mine is the greatest ever. She’s beautiful, glamorous, wildly intelligent, kind-hearted, and generous to a fault. She’s always there for me when I need her, I’m pretty sure her life goal —…read more »

Man, it’s been a while since my last post! It’s not that I haven’t been cooking — I have, I swear. Pork chops, stuffed chicken breasts, soy-glazed salmon, etc. I just haven’t been able to find time to take pictures/blog about it. I started my clerkship back in September, and then Dan and I moved…read more »

Now that the bar exam is over, my life is my own again. I get to sleep in past 7 a.m., I don’t have to care anymore about who really owns Blackacre, I can have hobbies again, and most importantly, I can finally read for pleasure whenever I feel like it.  So, I was pretty pumped…read more »

Thanks to Southern night with the Summer Supper Club, I’m getting my second guest blog. This post is courtesy of my good friend Karen, who made slow-cooked pulled pork for our feast. I’m writing the post on her behalf, because she is too busy with bar review class to type it all out (technically, I…read more »

Maybe it’s because it was the first thing I ever learned to cook, but fried rice is my ultimate comfort food. It’s what my mom made for me instead of chicken noodle soup when I was sick, and it was my go-to dinner in college when the dining hall’s food wasn’t cutting it. Some people…read more »
