We went to the first Stanford football game of the season yesterday and they killed it, 52-17. Nate is uberexcited about this season…and us girls are just going along for the ride. I’ll admit, it’s fun stuff. Go Stanford! As you can see, the Maynard girls like to wear their Stanford cardinal red…with a little [...]

Guess how many posts I’ve written on this here blog…here, I’ll tell you… Yes, one thousand. That is just crazy to me. So, what are we going to do for the big 1-0-0-0? We are NOT going to talk about food. How about that? It just so happens that the post I planned for today [...]

My favorite margherita pizza is from Bertucci’s, an Italian restaurant chain in the Northeast that also happens to have the best dinner rolls around. Mmmm…I need a roll. But I digress…for the last 11 years or so I’ve been trying to replicate their margherita pizza. I’ve come to terms with the fact I never will, [...]

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again…freezer jam is the best, for two important reasons: It tastes amazing, fresh, delicious, wonderful…did I mention fresh and amazing? It’s so easy to make. I mean EASY. And it’s easy to store, too. No canning necessary, just pop in a tupperware or jar or whatever you have [...]

This peach jam is taunting me this morning. Begging to be eaten. But I can’t. It’s not ready. Word of advice: when you make jam that needs to sit for 24 hours before eating, make it in the MORNING so that the next morning you can actually eat it…in the MORNING. Mmmmm….doesn’t it look good? [...]

I am finally writing about the spice from this week’s menu post. As some of you guessed, it is annatto seed, also called achiote seed. And I made adobo chicken with it. And it was GOOD. Nate came home one day saying how good the adobo chicken at work is, so I started searching for [...]

I’m doing something today I never do. I’m recycling a recipe AND a photo. But I just feel like I NEED to. The warm weather calls for it and, since I first wrote about this recipe, there are a lot more of you reading this here blog. I’m saddened to think you may have missed [...]

Okay, you may be thinking the title of this post is nuts, since summer is over. Apparently Mother Nature doesn’t think so. After a downright cold summer here in the Bay Area, the last two days (including the first day of school) have been steamy hot. What the? So, despite the fact I’m annoyed I [...]

I visited one of my favorite spots yesterday and bought this… If you can tell us what spice (or, more accurately, seed) it is, you win the Spice Queen/King title for the day! And if you don’t know what it is, you’ll find out soon enough…I’m trying a new recipe this week involving this beautiful [...]

I’m finally sitting down to write about the 2010 Avery SocialLuxe Lounge. Ah, SocialLuxe. Even now, two weeks later, I don’t know where to begin! The party was a-maaaaaay-zing. Our sponsors were wonderful, the location was off the HOOK, and throwing the party with Allison Czarnecki and Marie LeBaron was by far and away the [...]
