Believe it or not, I’m actually going to get right into the recipe today. Pretty incredible, right? No obnoxious detour into what we did this weekend (It was four freaking days long! What didn’t we do!) or how many YA novels I’ve made it through in the past two weeks (Five, you guys! I think that’s a record!) or how my awesome mom and godmom stopped by to gift me and Chris with a funky new cookbook and about 11 lbs of barbecued beef ribs (I have nothing to add! The awesomeness if pretty obvious!). Instead, I’ll just tell you how … Read More
Mini Pineapple Corn Cakes with Lemon Glaze
Happy weekend, lovelies! What a week it has been. Productive, to say the least. And mehbeh a tad stressful. But a productive week usually makes for a content Emily, and around here, that’s far superior to the alternative.

So while the rest of my loved ones chow down on a brunch of broccoli casserole and pan-fried calamari steaks (yeah, remember those? yum!) in Sacramento, we’re sitting on our sunny sofa luxuriating in the Colbert Report before we embark on a garage cleanout that is three years past due. I know you envy me. Don’t worry, just keep hunting your eggs and snarfing up Cadburys. We can take … Read More
OH, the places you’ll go…and baked stuffed apples
Ok, maybe more like OH, the place that I went. This past week I had the immense pleasure of traveling back to Ohio to spend a few days with my dear friend, Amanda, and food – as usual – played a large role when it came to planning our agenda. I was incredibly fortunate to be in town for the last few days of Dine Originals’ Restaurant Week (I’ll go into detail in another post), but the most memorable meal of the long weekend ended up being a pot-lucked brunch at our friends Amanda and Stephen’s house. (There are two … Read More
