Cook It. Bake It. Eat It.
I know it’s December tomorrow, but I’m not feeling super Christmassy right now. It doesn’t snow in AZ and it’s only cold enough for sweaters (my favorite winter thing ever!) in the morning and later at night. I’ve been on a big Mumford & Sons kick lately. I’ve got the playlist shuffling their songs [...]
Are you ready for game day?!?!?! We are! Today is the day the Buckeyes take on that team up north. To be honest, it’s the only game that matter in our season. We could be 0-11, but if we beat Michigan, all is right with the world. In honor of our beloved Buckeye, I’m [...]
When I originally typed up my post for today, I had every intention of doing nothing today. Then, two things happened. I opened up my paper and read the Black Friday ads. I’ve never shopped Black Friday, but today I did. Thing 1 and Thing 2 even tagged along. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I [...]
Hi. My name’s Julie. And I’m a turkey virgin. That’s right. I’m cooking my first solo Thanksgiving dinner. I’ve brought sides over to someone else’s house in previous years. This year is the first time I’m shouldering the workload. And it all comes down to the turkey. I’ve been googling, watching The Chew, looking up Alton Brown’s [...]
I found the recipe for this turkey in Food Network magazine (Nov. 2011), but I used AB’s cooking method from “Romancing the Bird.” It came out perfect on the first try and was moist and delicious.

My friend Jamie doesn’t bake. She’s a great cook, but not a baker. This year she got volun-told to make pie for Thanksgiving at her parents. I offered to help her with the pies and it got interesting. Jaime just wanted pie to take over, she wasn’t worried about everything being made from scratch. She [...]
Happy Thanksgiving week everyone! In an effort to save my energy for cooking on Thursday, this week I’m sharing lots of fun Thanksgiving ideas I think are great. I’m taking a nod from Tidy Mom‘s “I’m Lovin’ It“. I hope you find some decorations and recipes you like and that they make this crazy holiday [...]
Do you like Duff Goldman? I’ve been a fan of Ace of Cakes for years. The bakery put out the most awesome cakes. Which is great and all, but they also have so much fun, and they’re quirky and the kind of creative people that make the world a better place. I even got my little sister [...]
In an effort to keep the promise I made to myself that I would actually make the things I pin, I made this dish for dinner last night. I figure if I make something I pinned at least once a week, the hundreds of pins I have (and time spent drooling and wishing) was not [...]
