Bonjour, mes amis!

I went over some of my current loves the other day, but here are some more of my favorite things from the entire month of January 2011.

finally learning the NYC subway system.

Is is bad that it feels better than finishing my college senior thesis…?

Heather sent these little gems to me (along with a [...]

Good evening, sweet ones! I hope that you’re having a superb weekend.

So far, most of mine has been spent in good old Pennsylvania. Even though I was here just about a week ago, I had a baby shower to attend today, so I headed back to the Keystone state late yesterday afternoon. Instead of driving and [...]

The other day I mentioned how much I love Celestial Seasonings’ new Sleepytime Green Lemon Jasmine tea.

I especially like how it has the health benefits of green tea but without the caffeine. I prefer to drink tea to wind down and relax in the evening, so I’ll take calming flavors over caffeine any day of the [...]

After a very long and slushy day in the city, last night’s meal with birthday girl Gabriela was exactly what the doctor ordered.

We visited Pure Food and Wine, which I had heard rave reviews about. I couldn’t wait to try it! I also didn’t know what to expect, though, because I’m not exactly well-versed in raw [...]

Everyone knows there’s a certain language that most of us ladies share. You know…those phrases that sound like one thing but mean something entirely different. Well, I’m here to share what I think these sayings (or, as some like to refer to them as white girl problems) actually mean.

I’m a firm believer that the words streusel, crumble, cobbler, and crisp can and should be used after the name of every fruit.

Or in this case, every vegetable.

Sweet Potato Crisp (for one).

inspired by Diana’s Individual Breakfast Berry Crisp

ingredients:

1 medium or 1/2 large sweet potato
1/4 cup rolled oats
2 tbsp flour (I used spelt)
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp [...]

Hiiii dolls! It’s been too long, no? I usually don’t like going for more than a day without sharing this life I’ve met, but yesterday’s unexpected all-dayer in the city left me without adequate blogging time. The good news, though, is that a recap can pretty much be summed up in three simple letters: A, B, [...]

Christmas is great and all, but…

Let’s just say my future daughters WILL be Girl Scouts.

And I will be the mom selling the cookies while secretly eating an entire box under the table.

Samoas, of course.

My only question is…when did Samoas become Caramel deLites?

What’s your favorite GS cookie??
