Hi everyone. This is Little Mommies guest posting again for two reasons: One–Jess has been working 24/7 and has had no time to cook. And two–I made this amazing bread, but it has olives in it. Unfortunately, Jess is olivephopic and doesn’t condone this post, so I am the designated writer. This is a wonderful, no knead, rustic, [...]

I’ll admit it, I’m an appetizer whore. I would rather spend my meal at a cocktail party, eating one bite-sized delight after another, than at a full sit down dinner. One appetizer that has always disappointed me at weddings and restaurants alike, are stuffed mushrooms. Not only is this recipe great, but you can saute the [...]

Happy New Year! Thank god she had her red cup with her for the ride. It may have been in Jersey, but it’s all I can ask for. So anyways, let me impart on you something delicious. These are shortbread-like crackers with a strong blue cheese flavor. Delicious served alone or with a sweet jam [...]

Why has it been a ton of time since I last posted? Is it because work has been busy? Is it because I went on a lavish vacation? No, sorry. It’s because I got drunk and left my camera at my friend’s place. But hey, at least I had fun, right? Well, now back to the [...]

A few months ago, we had some coworkers in from London and on their last day, after plenty of meetings, we finally all went out for lunch. I know that as Americans, everything is bigger and better here, i.e. the Friendly’s Grilled Cheese Burgermelt or the KFC Double Down. However, you don’t really realize how big portions [...]

Little Mommies back again to guest post, this time with Jessica’s Dad’s help. I have a secret. Jessica left for college in September of 2005 and I haven’t cooked her Dad dinner since. Yes, I love to cook, especially bake, but I hate making dinner. 18 years of putting a salad, a protein, a vegetable [...]

Now this is gonna sound a little sappy, but I gotta be honest. I’ve always been very close with my parents, but over the past few years as I’ve become an adult–23 now, Happy Birthday to me!–I appreciate them more than ever. I’ve always been lucky to have pretty cool parents and my friends seem [...]

What do cream cheese, sour cream, hummus, and peanut butter have in common? I cannot keep them in the house without going at them with a spoon. Or my face. However, sometimes we make mistakes and this is a wonderful one. This is not a low calorie recipe. When I started to calculate the calorie count and [...]
