Michigan has graced us with four consecutive days of beautiful springtime weather.
This wouldn’t be such a big deal, except, this time last year it snowed for the last time for the season. And it snowed a LOT.
I know it’s coming. I know it. We always get one more dump of snow and then winter is [...]

Having the sniffles, stinks.
I woke up this morning feeling as if I’d swallowed a softball. Blech. My nose was pretty stuffy and my sinuses ached. I stayed home from work and did nothing all day.
Then it occurred to me: What is the one thing that could make me feel better? My mom’s Chai.
Well, my mom [...]

Garam masala is the one spice mixture you need for Indian cooking. Store-bought doesn’t cut it for me. Call me high maintenance, but you can’t skimp on good flavor and spice!
I make a lot of curries and most every recipe,  if not all of them, requires 1 tablespoon (I like my curries spicy!) of this [...]

So simple, so sinful.
I love potatoes. I really don’t think “love” is a strong enough word for how I feel about these starchy roots of heaven.
One of my coworkers and friends JLN told me how he made these mashed potatoes that were to die for, and then he 1-up’d himself and baked them.
That was enough [...]

Gooey, delicious, and guaranteed to be horrible for you, these cinnamon buns are amazing.
I can’t in any way take credit for this recipe. My future bro-in-law makes these buns and they are to DIE for. He uses the recipe off King Arthur Flour’s web site. And since that just so happens to be the flour [...]

Living in Ann Arbor means there are a ton of really great places to eat. However, a lot of those places can be really expensive. So when this new house of pancakes opened up near our apartment, we were pretty excited because not only did it look like a hoppin’ place, but the prices weren’t [...]

Seva: I love this restaurant. It’s probably my favorite restaurant in Ann Arbor. Hands down. I’m sure you can guess why. It’s one of (if not the only) vegetarian/vegan restaurant in this entire beautiful, cute city.

I love the tag line: “Fresh imaginative vegetarian cuisine” — ah, I love the sound of that. They just put [...]

Continuing from the last post about the romagical French Toast brunch, I concluded the evening by making chocolate covered strawberries for REB.
I love chocolate. I’m not a huge sweets person, but chocolate and fruit are an amazing combination (much like chocolate and peanut butter). I’ve used a lot of different chocolates when baking and making [...]

Happy Hallmark Holiday…day! Ah, it’s that time of year again when people run out and waste money on chocolates and cards and flowers to show how much they love their significant other.
REB and I don’t really do the whole “Valentines Day” thing. But, one of the ways I show him how much I love him [...]

Every few days, REB and I have a date night. A lot of people do it, and we do too. It’s nice to be able to forget about work, other people, any thing else really and just focus on spending time together. I love when it happens all the time, though. OK enough gushy stuff.

We [...]
