Well hello, gorgeous! If you've got kids, I probably don't have to explain what "Parents Need to Eat Too" means. But I will anyway: I make food for grownups that also pleases even the earliest eaters (as in my cookbook, all the recipes here end with instructions for using what you've cooked as baby food). And that kid holding the artichoke up there is so stubborn I like to call him "non-nivorous," so you'll find plenty of picky-eater posts. (Even he is powerless in the face of The Best Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies in the Entire World.) Poke around a bit, and if you like what you see maybe you'll subscribe to my newsletter or RSS feed. Or "like" me on Facebook. Or follow me on Twitter. So many options! Thanks for visiting. Did I mention how nice you look today?

Leah Ingram is one of my writer idols. She’s written more than a dozen books, and if you’ve read a magazine in the last decade I can pretty much guarantee you’ve seen her byline. Suddenly Frugal, her blog (and book), is devoted to living well on as little money as possible. Seriously, this woman knows ...Keep Reading

What did we eat with our insanely good Herbed Flatbread? Why, White Beans with Sage, of course! So satisfying in this stupid (as Harry would call it—everything is “stupid” these days, unless it’s “poopy”) weather. Silky, velvety, smooth… scooping them up with torn pieces of flatbread is just the thing to do when it’s too ...Keep Reading

I’ve been embarrassed about this for a long time. No, not my weight. Not my relatively recent inability to dance (I used to really shake my tailfeather. Now, I’m kind of like Elaine on Seinfeld, only less rhythmic). Not even the fact that I’ll often wear the same jeans for an entire week. My friends, ...Keep Reading
