I’m so excited for tonight’s TV Dinner, that I had to post some of the ingredients I just brought home. My brother from another mother, Noah, and his wife Marissa are coming over for a very special Vietnamese/Thai Pho Phriday. Can you guess what’s on the menu?
More photos, recipes, stories to come… so stay tuned.
I hope you’re hungry — cause I have a lot cookin’! I’ll be updating every few days with new recipes, photos and stories of our TV Dinners. Meantime, read the story behind the blog — or — check out a few of … Continue reading
It all started with a tweet — as most things do these days. It was a rave review of a sauce. I clicked. I read. I retweeted it, adding that I couldn’t wait to make it myself. Enter Mister Sam … Continue reading
Since B is at work writing his second Page One story in two days (I know, he’s somethin) I’m testing out a new veggie recipe here in the lovenest. My mom cut this out of the Philadelphia Inquirer for me … Continue reading

I am always on the search for spice and I had never made a curry before, but always wanted to try. So I did some googling, some label-reading, some experimenting and this — THIS — is what I came up with. I’m still training B to like things as hot as me, but if whomever you’re cooking for can handle it, try some habaneros or thai chili peppers. We’re working up to those in the lovenest.

Brian finished his book! Halleluyah! Finally! But more about his book another time (it comes out in May) — and onto the celebration. This was B’s pick, because it was his night — and why go anywhere but the best. … Continue reading

This is the most delicious, most simple, most I-look-fancy-but-I’m-really-not salad. And how gorgeous are those salad plates? This was our first time using them. I am so in love. For the record I wasn’t going to serve bread of any … Continue reading
