little things and tea cookies

Our favorite thing about hosting parties is making little things. Bite-sized cake pops, mini meatballs, handheld tarts, bitty bundt cakes, simple salad skewers – you name it, we’ve probably served it at a party. Sure, these little food items take way more work to prep than, say, an all-out buffet. But we can’t help it.… Read More little things and tea cookies

elizabash and artichoke dip

Last month marked the 10-year anniversary of Elizabash. When this annual escapade began, the three of us — Liz, Liz, and Mallory — were fresh out of college and spread across the Eastern seaboard in D.C., Pittsburgh, and Manhattan. I can [and will!] happily regale you with some of the highlights of those early East… Read More elizabash and artichoke dip

ONE and carrot cupcakes

Jason and I were recently asked to give the reflection at our church’s annual Marian Lessons and Carols service. Our task: talk about what we expected pre-baby versus what we got one year later. [HA!] We doubt they expected us to be so blunt and irreverent toward parenthood, but we believe retrospective truth is better… Read More ONE and carrot cupcakes

harvest fest and chai cookies

We gathered in the snow. It was one of those random early October snowfalls. The kind that rolled in overnight and begged everyone to cancel their Sunday plans and stay inside, away from the winter that had disrupted their autumn. The fact that we still made the effort speaks volumes given the context. But such… Read More harvest fest and chai cookies
