Near the end of August I traveled to Trenton, Maine to join my friends Molly and Stefan on their wedding day. We all met in Portland, Oregon where we attended Reed College. The long weekend was filled with many familiar faces from those days. Old friends traveled from all corners of the country and the […]

Yearly Archives: 2009Last summer my friends Andy and Sarah were married in rural Illinois and they gave each guest a jar of delicious locally produced honey as a wedding favor. I tend to use honey primarily as a condiment and after a full year I had barely made a dent in the jar. A recent dinner at […] show 10 comments Sounds so good. Love the idea of making up a batch of the filling to serve with ice cream (lazy man approach), but I think I would want to go all out and make the whole turnover. Such a good flavor combination. Especially for fall! What a great combination of flavors for a turnover! Gorgeous photography and I am definitely making this! Thanks! Ok, you’ve gotten me in trouble with this one lol. I was sitting here craving something sweet but substantial and now I wish there was a 24 hour grocery store so I could run out and make these. I work with Del Monte, and we have these really great recipes out right now enhanced by our pre-peeled Superfruits and citrus bowls. If you’re interested, try our Mango Chicken stir fry, it’s really good! I wanted to share with you because you so graciously shared with me :). Visit the link for free coupons for our “undressed” fruits too! These look delicious! Very nice recipe! You should submit this to Recipe4Living.com! I just found your blog and I love it. The pictures are amazing. Thanks Siri and Joelen. It is such a great autumn flavor combination. Looks so tasty. This is something to try this weekend. It looks mouthwatering recipe. Thanks for sharing. Thanks vitamine A. I hope it worked out well for you! When the recent issue of Gourmet arrived in my mailbox, I was quite taken with their retro-inspired tomato and corn pie recipe. This dish truly embodies the bounty of a midwestern summer. Seasonal ingredients topped with sharp Cheddar cheese, fresh herbs and a dollop of mayonnaise make this meal well worth the trouble of baking in August. I followed the […] show 12 comments Looks delicious, and oh-so-summer. I’ve been wondering what to make for a potluck tomorrow, and I think this might be it…. Looks delicious, and oh-so-summer.

I have made this yesterday. Want to make again. I’ve been making Laurie Colwin’s original version of this pie for years, both at home and at the restaurant, and it’s a big hit. Pregnant women crave it, college students home for the summer wax nostalgic for it, and a French family that visits an immigrant daughter for a late summer reunion requests it every year.

Glad you like it vitamine A! Glad you like it vitamine A! In the winter, one of my favorite dishes to make involves cannellini beans fried in a bit of butter with salt and pepper. It's about as basic as you can get, but I love the unadulterated flavors of this creamy bean. As we prepare for our move, I've continued to try to find ways to […] show 14 comments This sounds like a great dip! As I prepare for my move too, I’ll try the same thing. I think I have beans left in the cabinet, too. This sounds like a great dip! As I prepare for my move too, I’ll try the same thing. I think I have beans left in the cabinet, too. There is something so enjoyable about using up the last few things before a move. Good luck with yours Jess! There is something so enjoyable about using up the last few things before a move. Good luck with yours Jess! I am so with you on the oven-baked pita chips! easy to make at a moment’s notice. I’ve been thinking about a cannellini bean dip for a long time, but I think you’ve convinced me to whir some up next time we’ve company.

We are moving at the end of this month into the main floor of a beautiful old graystone mansion on one of Chicago’s tree-lined boulevards. It’s the kind of place that I would often enviously eye as I walked to my uninspiring, white-walled home – wishing for a bit of that old hardwood and sunshine.

Shannalee - How lovely! I was just in Maine in August, and we spent a full day hiking (and, I thought, near-dying in the process) in Acadia National Park, and it truly is incredible. Well, as you know, the whole state is beautiful. Gorgeous photos. I’m so glad you were able to go!
