| | | I actually got the idea to brine the Thanksgiving turkey from Alton Brown - I was up late at night watching the Food Network and Alton came on explaining why brining a turkey is better because you don’t open and close the oven constantly AND the overnight brining makes a big difference in flavor. .... Read More | | | | | | Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday of the year because we always have a big party in North Carolina. One of my favorite sides happens to be stuffing - not the stuff you make from a box like Stove Top, but the kind where you can taste big chunks of freshly made cornbread. ... Read More | | | | | | Every year at Thanksgiving, my mom prepares a TON of good food (15 dishes, at least) but green bean casserole is definitely not on that list. Sauteed green beans with garlic might make an appearance once in a while, but green bean casserole is a little too…traditional…for us. I spoke with my frien... Read More | | | | | | Truffles are really easy to make and a great gift during the holidays. I wanted to give everyone a little something to take home with them after our Thanksgiving dinner, so I figured truffles would be perfect (hopefully you see it as me being like Martha Stewart, NOT Sandra Lee).

I didn’t drink a lot of soft drinks or alcohol to begin with (well, since I graduated from college), but I’m trying to drink ... Read More | | | | | | Did anyone watch The Office tonight on NBC? I was watching (my usual Thursday night activity) and could not stop laughing when I saw Jim drinking from a mug with Andy’s face on it (and a star behind his face): UM, DOES THAT LOOK LIKE MY GRACE FACE OR AM I CRAZY? Here’s a ... Read More | | | | | | After meeting some wonderful people at Top Chef’s Taste of the Five Borough’s event, I was invited to Le Cirque to try out their tasting menu.
