Friday Links: 11.21.2014

I’ve been wide awake and bleary eyed at three in the morning every single day since arriving in Tokyo (thanks jet lag!) The trains shut down here at 12 or 1 am, so I’ve had plenty of time to randomly…

Lemongrass Stuffing Recipe

Seems like there’s a great divide on stuffing vs. dressing. Technically, this isn’t stuffing because it hasn’t been stuffed inside a bird (hard to do when you just braise a leg) but regardless, I like my stuffing unstuffed and…

Sunday Brunch: Apple Cheddar Grilled Cheese Recipe

It’s a little funny for me to call a grilled cheese brunch food because the truth is, I eat grilled cheeses all. the. time. If I have bread in the house, and I’m hungry, it’s always a toss up…

Friday Links: 11.14.2014

It’s been cold and sunny all week and I’m loving it! Frozen cheeks, puffs of breath in the air, and cozy meals in are what I’ve been all about. I’ve also been getting crazy organized with packing and reorganizing…
