So the other day on Twitter, one of my readers asked me if I would be up for doing some “WIAW” posts. I responded that WIAW isn’t my jam—I think you all could guess some of my reasons—and she asked if I might be at least willing to post some breakfast posts, along with my [...]

I hope you all had the most lovely of Christmas celebrations! And that those of you who don’t observe Christmas had a happy Tuesday. My holiday was low key, which was the right mood for this season. There was gift opening by the tree, followed by hot yoga, followed by some time with a good [...]

In spite of the fact that D.C. has been as hot and muggy as can be for the last two days, it’s officially October, which means ‘tis the season for warming breakfasts.

My two favorite fruits are apples and bananas. This qualifies me either as charmingly traditional, or as downright boring. In the foodie realm, I’m pretty sure it’s the latter. But what can I say?
