Sugar High Friday…Toasted!

September 22, 2009

September 17, 2009

Winter Salad with Pears and Manchego, My Catering Debut

December 7, 2008

Catering? Moi? Uh, NO. Not exactly. I’m flighty, forgetful, and a host of other wonderful things that don’t mix with catering. And yet, today, my mom and I cooked and served brunch to a party of 8 at their home. The brunch was an item that my mom had offered in a silent auction at [...]

Soupergirl

November 9, 2008

I’m taking time out from my regularly-scheduled programming to tell you about an awesome new business being launched in the DC area: it’s called Soupergirl, and (if you couldn’t guess) it’s a soup business!
