Muddled Blackberry Mint Julep: Off We Go

March 21st, 2013

I remember when Fiona Apple first broke through my radar, I was in middle school or early high school. I thought she was super weird and creepy at the time but I loved her angst-filled music and her crazy huge gray eyes, and was perplexed/mesmerized by her music videos. Fast-forward years and years later, I [...]

Guest Post: Banana Nut Baked Oatmeal from Melissa, The Faux Martha

March 14th, 2013

Melissa is a wonderful blog friend whom I admire very much. Over the year (ish?) that I’ve known her, she’s been incredibly supportive of Turntable Kitchen…and me, personally.

Butternut Squash & Tahini Spread: Let’s Work Together

March 11th, 2013

The other day, as I was running late to an appointment, I saw a parking spot and immediately pulled a quick U to try to grab it, just as another car opted for the same position. DAMMIT, I thought, in a not-so-unusual moment of road rage. We were about to square off; me in my [...]

Here goes.

February 25th, 2013

The first ‘test’ of being a good mother, it turns out, is how well you are able to feed your baby. If you discover that you are not a natural Earth mother like Angelina Jolie or Josie Maran or Alicia Silverstone (even if you do bake granola and purchase all-natural, green diapers which are really [...]

Guest Post: Fresh Egg Pasta from Kristin Appenbrink, Real Simple

February 21st, 2013

Kristin and I first met in person over drinks in New York City with my friend Dave, after we had been following each other on Twitter for some time. Even before we met, I sort of knew we’d be friends. Last January, we got to spend lots of quality time together at Alt Summit, where [...]

In any case, Tracy has been a wonderful friend and an inspiration to me in so many ways. When I found out I was pregnant, one of the many thoughts that crossed [...]
