The Double P’s are huge fans of potato chips, but we’ve discovered a healthy alternative that’s easy to make at home. My cousin Melanie brought Kale Chips into my life this summer and they are unbelievably crunchy, tasty and addictive. Her three kids rave about them (imagine kids eating kale, amazing!) and showed me how to make them in about seven minutes.
Sounds like seven minutes in heaven, wouldn’t you say? Read on for the simple step-by-step recipe.

Armed with whip cream, chocolate sauce, various berries and dulce de leche, I headed over on a Saturday morning and took my first crack at making crepes.
As the weather starts to turn into to chilly days and cool nights, the desire for hibernation and nesting sets in. We still need to eat, if not now, more than ever in order to fit into our annual winter fat suits. And fall is the time to start the official season of home culinary gatherings.
This past weekend my roommate Sarah and I invited over three good friends for a lazy Sunday brunch consisting of homemade waffles, spicy bloody marys and four-legged love. Our dear friends, Marcos, Mikee and the fiercely present Rita stopped by to listen to Lyle Lovett, read latin Cosmo, try on fur hats and dig into fresh homemade waffles.
