Well, I wish I could share a photo of me gleefully twirling around my Halloween-ed out front porch – but we decided it was time to redo the steps, which led to a redo of the porch, which led to a total demolish of the whole darn thing. […]
I am on such a pickle kick. Mostly due to our friends being WAY into pickling, which we get to reap the benefits from. Yay, us! I am also on a cookbook kick. This is because I bought a new hutch to house my cookbooks, and wouldn’t you […]
I love, love, LOVE being inspired to try new dishes at home after experiencing them out in the wild at a restaurant. We recently went to one of my favorites – Parachute in Chicago – and ordered the pork tonkatsu (traditionally a Japanese dish), which just blew me […]

How has everyone’s summer been going!? Ours has been pretty rockin’! We just went to Ribfest in Naperville, which I think you all know by now is my favorite day of the year (tied for Halloween, of course). We had AMAZING ribs, sunshine, beer, music (KC and the […]
