Quick and delicious weeknight meals
I recently read Amanda Hesser’s Cooking for Mr. Latte: A Food Lover’s Courtship, with Recipes (many thanks to Raina for the recommendation). The book wonderfully weaves together tales of cooking, dining out, and eating with friends and family and her relationship with her now husband …
We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend with our friends Ashley, Dave, and their almost 1-year-old Nora as well as Amy and her 1-year-old Lucy. We savored the last bit of summer with some local wild blueberries in a yummy and incredibly easy blueberry crisp. …
