This antique cape style house underwent a complete renovation and addition by Smith & Vansant Architects, located in the countryside of Norwich, Vermont.
In ancient times, men would gird their loins when preparing for manual labor or battle. Here's your guide on how they did it.
Stunning windows and doors filled with Belgian charm This makes me incredibly happy My DREAM vacation stay, San Luis Retreat in the Italian Alps.

I can’t TELL you how absurdly good these easy beef belyashi are! Soft on the inside with a crispy outer shell and incredibly flavorful juicy meat filling.
I'm just in the middle of a kitchen renovation, but I took a little break to play with my Websters Pages goodies. I thought it would be fun to play with tags so I made up a tag and did a little step by step that has been posted over at the Websters Pages Blog if you'd like to have a look. I then used the tag as an embellishment on a layout. For the above layout I used the die cut sheet from the Western Romance collection. I trimmed off a few inches of the left side of the page and moved it to the right side to create the tabs for my corset lacing design. Just add eyelets and lace-up. Here are a few close-ups of the page.... I used the Websters Pages Silhouettes (Cameo) to dress up the tag, along with some of the beautiful trims that go with the Winter Fairytale collection (lace & feather trim). The Cameo is mounted on one of the wonderful new Cameo Sliders by Dusty Attic. The blooms are from Michaels Craft Store from their store brand blooms. The pearl strand I bought off the roll from a local fabric store. The corner chip board embellishment is another piece from Dusty Attic from the Sweet Pea frame collection (below) If you'd like to check out my little step by step on how to make the tag and see what beautiful FREEBIE Websters Pages is giving out (shown below) be sure to check out this link Websters Pages Blog

The sauce on this dish is a beautiful, beautiful thing. Sort of a cross between a chicken veloute and a hollindase, it’s smooth and creamy and lemony and just makes me happy. I’m a sucker for a good sauce.This recipe comes from a giant text book of recipes from the Le Cordon Bleu school. It...Read More »
Pastries are difficult to make. I almost had a nervous breakdown in my kitchen the first time I tried to make cinnamon rolls, and they’re not even really delicate. I have a book on Parisian pastry history and techniques waiting for me back home that I ordered with Christmas Amazon vouchers which I know will barely even scratch […]

This recipe for savory rice porridge comes from EatingWell's Test Kitchen manager, Breana Lai Killeen, who shared it for Father's Day because it is one of her father's favorite dishes. "In the U.S., this dish is called congee, but in Hong Kong, we call it jok," she says. "My dad's version was always pretty bland, but this recipe is adapted from one in the cookbook A Place at the Table from a Laotian chef who, just like me, is a first-generation Asian raised in North Carolina." Congee can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and leftovers freeze well.

After posting the pannetone bread and butter pudding recipe, I thought it may be a good idea for me to post the vanilla custard (crème anglaise) recipe too just in case anyone likes to make it them…
Gloriously naughty tasting and just 3 syns per serving!
Cadbury's Crunchie Bars are one of my favorite candy bars. They are also my dentist's favorite candy bar, because if I eat enough of these I keep him in business. This is a Nigella Lawson recipe, from her book How to Be a Domestic Goddess. She calls it cinder toffee, but for me it will always be the crunchy part of the Crunchy Bar.
It is starting to take on a life of its own, this bowl of cooked rhubarb that sits in my fridge and urges me to dip in a spoon for a furtive, stolen slurp of its tangy and sweet nectar. This simple sauce willed me, with its provocative consistency and muted pink hue, to incorporate...Read More

Unless you’re a skilled pastry chef, wrapping ultrathin, delicate dough around a wet filling is usually a recipe for disaster. We wanted a strudel recipe for the rest of us.
Writing about this recent two room online design project left me dreaming of food this morning. Not only for obvious reasons that it's a kitchen and dining area, but also because the finishes we chose for this space remind me of some of my favorite food combinations. Chocolate and raspberries, steak and red wine, black forrest chocolate cake and cherries came to mind. This design was created for Susan's home which is currently undergoing renovations. Here is a true to scale floor plan illustration of her new kitchen and dining room... You can see we provided to birds eye looks at the dining area to show how the table we chose for her fits into the space when the extension is in place. The plan for the dining area includes a set of four chairs (five when the extension is in place) upholstered in a beautiful blue floral fabric (Meadow Floral from Pier One). The rest of the seating is provided by a character rich, custom built in banquet. A gorgeous chandelier, colorful mix of pillows and beautiful wine colored dishes bring color and style to this beautiful new corner of Susan's home. For softness, more color and drama, we used full length drapery panels to flank the sliding glass door that leads outside. For the window over the sink, our recommendation was to purchase a table cloth from Pier One in the same fabric as the dining chairs (Meadow Floral), to use as fabric for a new valance. The Kitchen is receiving a total makeover including new cabinets, flooring, counter tops, appliances, lighting and hardware. Here is a look at some of the items we chose for the new space... Over the island, we incorporated three hanging pendant lights from the same collection as the chandelier we placed over the dining table. We chose mid-toned wood floors and espresso cabinetry. To keep the overall feeling of the space light and open, we incorporated light colored granite countertops and backsplash. The wall color we recommended "Accessible Beige" by Sherwin Williams is also light and bright. It provides amazing contrast to the dark cabinetry and pulls beautiful beige tones from the new countertops. A few well chosen, colorful accessories give the new kitchen a little personality while keeping the space neat and streamlined. New upholstered barstools add comfort, function and softness to the island. A new floor runner in front of the sink also adds a layer of softness to the design (This rug is now available in a few different sizes in my shop, please click here for more details). Susan's Rug Soft blue, tan, chocolate and raspberry-wine create a rich yet serene color scheme for the Susan's brand new kitchen and dining area. Here is a look at both designs together...
