Christmas Eve Prime Rib Dinner

December 25, 2010

Merry Christmas everyone.  I hope that all those who celebrate have had a safe and restful holiday with loved ones. I must admit that until Christmas Eve I was feeling a bit Scrooge-ish. It caught me by surprise as this is normally not my holiday persona. Typically I relish the stretch of days between Thanksgiving [...]

Ridiculously Good Cake Batter Ice Cream

December 14, 2010

For the most part, the recipes I feature here on The Pink Apron usually have a two things in common, or two guiding principles I like to say.  They’re generally about showcasing local, seasonal ingredients and making things from scratch, or as close to scratch as I possibly can get. This is not one of [...]

Don’t forget to enter my Chavrie Giveaway here. The contest is open for entries through 12 am Friday, December 3.

Cheese Steak Egg Rolls

October 27, 2010

If you’ve read my blog for awhile then you may remember that a little over a year ago I confessed to being a hoarder.  I’ve moved up significantly in the square footage department since then – from exactly 642 square feet in Boston to roughly double in Chicago – but the problem still remains.  I’m [...]

Byerly’s Wild Rice Soup and Reflections on Another Place and Time

October 25, 2010

Almost six years ago (December of 2004 to be exact) I graduated from college.  I’d completed all my course work.  I’d landed a great job in my field.  I’d done everything I could to prepare myself for the real world, yet so much remained uncertain.  With my friends still in school and living in the [...]

So Who Am I Anyway?

September 19, 2010

Project Food Blog is underway and our first task as contestants is to share who we are and why we think we deserve to be the next food blogger star. It’s a fun challenge for me because so much of my day job is helping brands decide who they are, yet I spend far less [...]

Plant. Water. Eat. Repeat. – Adventures in Urban Gardening & a Recipe Featuring Tomatoes

August 4, 2010

Outdoor space.  It was high on my list desired apartment features, right next to the kitchen of my dreams.  I fantasized about outdoor entertaining and a spot to read a book on a cool summer night.  But mostly, I thought about gardening.  I’m not sure where this passion comes from.  Maybe it all stems back [...]

Tempura Battered Zucchini Blossoms

If you’re anything like me you receive a fair number of e-mail chain letters from time to time, promising you everything from a stake in a Nigerian inheritance to a Best Buy gift card to undying love from the man of your dreams, all from forwarding an email to x number of people in your [...]

Guiltless Vanilla Bean Ice Cream & Black Raspberries

July 9, 2010

It seems like wherever you grow up there are stereotypes of what people from your state or region are supposed to be and act like.  They are the kind of blanket statements that create the basis for those “You know you’re from Boston if…” jokes and or those quizzes that tell you what percentage Chicagoan or [...]
