One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
Tonight was a night for cooking with wine and of course drinking it as well. I’ve been eyeing a linguine with clam sauce recipe for some time now and finally decided to make it tonight. I was doing the food and my friend was bringing the wine. As I was shopping I remebered I needed…
What was I doing this time last year? Eating pão de queijo that’s what. I was in Brazil enjoying being a graduate and living the traveling dream. Now a year later I am left to making them from a box mix ordered off of Amazon, at least it was a gift (Thank you Kyle Herionimus). …
This wine is called Mannequin, hence the picture. This is an awesome label that is awesome in the creepy way. This is a blended white wine that is from the Orin Swift Cellars. Check it out! Follow me on Twitter @Pilots_Daughter
I went wine shopping at Trader Joe’s for this wine Wednesday and found fadeaway. I found the label depressingly intriguing. I also thought it was funny to drink such a girly labeled wine while watching the Bachelorette; my friends and I are a walking cliche. This fadeaway Pinot Noir was only $8.99 and good. It is…

It was like Christmas morning when I saw them. After I bought them I was so overwhelmed with planning the meal that…
Like I mentioned in my previous post about the orange cake I was really behind this Easter as far as baking/cooking goes. In my family along with the mushroom borscht we make at Christmas there is a borscht we make for Easter. This is the first Easter I was away from my family so I…
I may love Saint Patty’s Day and Halloween but I think I may have found my new favorite holiday…National Eggs Benedict Day! Today is Eggs Benedict Day and must not be missed. So go get your hollandaise and poaching pants on and whip up the most delicious breakfast dish known to man kind! Follow me…
I dropped the ball this Easter. I simply ran out of time with work and friends visiting, so I didn’t bake the Easter dessert. I had already bought all the ingredients to bake the cake; the past few days they have just been staring at me, making me feel guilty and making me think about…
