Hi, I'm Rachel.

A few years ago I could barely boil water.

True story.

Determined to be a kick ass wife, I developed a love for football and learned to cook in my tiny Jersey City kitchen. I spend my days working in Manhattan, my nights and weekends chasing after a rambunctious toddler, and the hours in between cooking with my husband and feeding my TV habit...oh, and I blog about it all!

Friday Fun

 

 

Well we made it to Friday. I'm so happy that it's here! This week has felt long and trying and at times I just felt really unhappy, which I hate. This was the first week in quite a while in which I didn't have to wear boots to trudge through snowy sludge and could wear some different footwear like my favorite slip ons. It also made me realize that my spring footwear may need a makeover.

I have a few things happening this weekend and mostly I'm looking forward to sleeping in, catching up on shameless and spending some time cooking with Penelope. We are also really hoping that the weather will be good enough for a long awaited trip to the park on Sunday! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you next week!

That umami article was super interesting! I've actually found myself using soy sauce for almost all of my meals. I love the flavor it adds to pretty much anything. I may have to check my sodium levels, but for now it's a sauce that's really helping me out.

GAH, she is so grown up and adorable! Also, LOVE that shirt - I realized this morning that I didn't get baby anything specifically green for St. Patrick's Day -- I'll have to rummage through her closet to find something cute. =) I'm about to click on the link for The love letter to a first born child, and I'm pretty sure already that I'm going to end up in tears. ;) Off to find out!

Confirmed -- I'm crying! It was beautiful -- thanks for sharing. =)
