This time of year, frou-frou beverages take their leave. Light, frothy cocktails tasting of coconut and grapefruit bow out for a few months, making way for the more warming, comforting beverages that seem to seep into one's bones, brightening up cooler winter days. At home, bottles of the man's ...
Spice Kitchen & Bar
Over the Thanksgiving holiday, the man and I trekked north to Cleveland to spend a few days with his family. His mom prepared a gorgeous feast as usual, and after a couple of days full of turkey and stuffing (and pie... so much pie!!), I was craving something a little more... not ...
Butternut Squash Ravioli: Two Ways
Usually, before heading out of Chicago, the man and I head to Eataly for groceries. Knowing we can find some of our favorite red wines, excellent-quality olive oil, suuuuuper good prosciutto, and freshly made mozzarella, we carry in our huge burlap "Choose your Salumi" bag and fill 'er up with ...
Pumpkin Soup
There are times it's so darn hard to make the food you're craving... Every year, on or around Halloween, I've kept with the tradition of making something pumpkin based.

The Citrus Crepe Cake
There's something so special about a beautiful dessert. Think of a sharable chocolate soufflé, a mile-high New York cheesecake, or the Italian Creme Cake your grandma made for your birthday (definitely something that happened for me). It's the carefully laced lattice on a pie at Thanksgiving and ...
Organization Update: The Kitchen
After much hemming and hawing, way too much time trying to find just the right canisters, and far too many hours pouring over The Home Edit's blog and inspiration-filled Instagram, the kitchen cabinets and fridge are finally organized, labelled, stacked, staged, and functional.
In the cabinets ...
Vinegar-Glossed Chicken
In the midst of my kitchen organizing chaos, desperate to make the insides of my cabinets beautiful and functional, I finally unpacked some books from the basement, finding- among other things- several cookbooks I'd forgotten I had.
I remember being introduced to Lucinda Scala Quinn's cookbook, ...
