Elle in the garden making soup for some birds. Shot with the Leica de-lux. The instrument that has made me feel like I’m always catching the good lighting. Some recent updates: Elle’s Dad has been in South Africa working this past week and nearly being trampled by a mop of elephants. True story and how […]
My mom never ruined meatloaf for me. Thanks Mom! So I approached it with an open mind in my adult life and found a recipe my family loves. Paul Prudhomme – you taught me how to make something delicious! Cajun Meatloaf. If you’re moderately into football and the temp is under 60 degrees, this is […]
This sweet Angel has been up half the night and so have I. She ceremoniously climbed out of her crib two weeks ago and we haven’t slept a full night since. The toddler transition into a big kid bed can be a struggle, it certainly was not the cake walk we hoped. However, last night […]
“Look Mamma, look at my pieces!” she said. Filling her purse with first rocks then flowers. She wore her purse to school all week. ♥ just a little sweetness for this day
I’d totally be impressed if someone told me they can make a great curry. To me, it’s the mark of culinary agility and a party in a bowl. Curry is my new thing I want to do today. Last night was my first attempt. I chose a recipe from the Pioneer Woman- not my usual […]
You know that restaurant that everyone loves, it gets rave reviews and its right by your house- so you never go? The two places like that for me are Raoul’s and Uncle Boons. Both took me approximately 3-5 years to finally go to but now they are my only favorites. SO, here is my Uncle […]
Elle slept in on Sunday morning. Hallelujah! And this leisurely start inspired me to make a special breakfast: one that Elle could assist me in making- Yogurt bowls with fancy granola and chocolate coconut shavings. She is so eager to help at this age. Normally I am chopping and flames of grease are flying but […]
Ahhh, getting to know you Elle. I am singing this song in my mind: Julia Andrews and her chorus of children live in my head. It’s new since motherhood. It’s lovely actually. So- Elle is TALKING. All about the birds and the bees and the foods she eats. It’s the level of Italian I peaked […]
Quick post today, sharing some salad inspiration. It’s been 96+ degrees lately in NY and I am not allowed to apartment cook unless its under 80. So depressing. So lots of salads this week and my favorite is with peaches and burrata. SUPER easy: Arugula, endive, ripe peaches, red onion, a few great cherry tomatoes, […]
This was our first 4th of July weekend in the city and we did not hate it. We pretty much had Nolita to ourselves. Check out Elle in these sunglasses, she looks like she feels invisible. . . I might be projecting. The photo above was taken in our city backyard, Elizabeth Street Garden, as […]
Life off Broome
