I asked my mother one day for her potato salad recipe. It was the one she used, which was the one my grandmother used, and as far as I know, it could be a recipe that has spanned even more generations in my family. One of the ingredients used in the recipe, according to my…

When I began my 30 days of thanks, I wanted to think of things a little bit outside the box. I didn’t want to just be thankful for my home, my family, and my friends – I am so grateful for all of those things every day. But Day 18 – November 18th – is…

You know how you have a party catered, and you have just enough food to make everyone at your party satisfied, but very little left over afterwards to clean up? Yeah, that never happens when I cook for a party. I live in constant fear that a small island nation is going to shipwreck on…

I am not some crazy shoe lady. When I heard many years ago that Imelda Marcos had over 3000 pairs of shoes, it’s something I couldn’t fathom. I need sneakers, flats, a good pair of boots, and a pair of heels that I can wear until the agony in my feet overwhelms good judgement and…

My mom and stepfather brought over a bunch of stuff for Fakesgiving on Saturday. If you were here, you probably enjoyed the pies or the cheesecake. What you didn’t get to enjoy was the babka. I hid it, guarding it like the crown jewels (well, better than the crown jewels if you saw the news…

When I met my husband, he was in the Navy. At the age of 24, which I was when I met him, that meant hot buns in a cool uniform. Yeah, I said it. My husband has a cool uniform. It took me a while to realize the sacrifice that comes with getting that cool…

The made up holiday, designed to allow my children to be home with me to celebrate “Thanksgiving” when they get older, while allowing them to spend the actual holiday “day” spending it where they’d rather be, has taken on a new meaning over the past couple of years that we’ve hosted. Initially, it was just…
