Landmine Pie. That is what my lovely fiance named this dessert that I slaved over for hours in the kitchen (okay, so maybe it was actually an incredibly easy dessert that took less than 30 minutes, but that is absolutely not the point.) I will be calling it by its real name, Cherry Clafoutis not Landmine Pie. Why Landmine Pie you ask? Please read on. While it seems like desserts…
Breakfast has always been my favorite meal. Well, that is until dessert came along, but please don’t tell breakfast.

Confession. I just learned that the World Cup only happened every four years. I thought it was strange that this year there was so much hype, and I had remembered nothing about it last year.

And tomorrow, A and I are hopping on a plane to Texas where the humidity is high and the temperature is higher. This weather + curly hair=frizzy mess. The…
I have been saying for months that I am going to start a food blog. In fact, I started a “trial” food blog in January during one of three blizzards that bludgeoned the D.C. area.
