I am the scourge of all quiches. Despite the fact that I take pride in my ability to cook a decent meal most of the time, I have never been able to make a quiche that didn’t suck. Never. Last night was no exception. I had the perfect ingredients—the farmer’s

I caused my own demise last week. My baseball-obsessed husband wanted to watch the game, but since it was on the West Coast, it didn't start till 10pm our time. I was going to bed, but because I wanted to be in the same room, I suggested he watch the

I'm always curious to find out how other couples manage their money, and how much debt is considered "normal" these days. I think we've got a pretty good system now as far as managing our married money, but it took us a really long time to get here. We

A few weeks ago I attended a wedding in Northern Italy on Lake Orta San Giulio.(It's behind me in the photo...talk about George Clooney summer homes!) On one of our nights in the town square, I had a wonderful, simple pasta at a local trattoria (you know,

It's summer time (finally!) and that means family barbecues. We have a collection of family recipes that have been passed down through the generations and these summer barbecues are the perfect occasion to bring out the family favorites. One of my favorites

As a soon-to-be New Yorker, I’ve been bracing myself for seriously down-sizing my spending habits. I have lived in Boston for the past few years, so I am accustomed to the costs of urban living, but my new city is going to be on a whole new playing field.

No one says it's easy getting organized. Let alone staying that way. But it's nice to dream about it. I try. Really, I do. But I am sure anyone who passes by my desk may beg to differ. Truth is, I really try to be. But the paper print-outs and mail deliveries

Creating a clutter-free home should not stop at making sure your closet is orderly and that your drawers are neat... for me and DH, keeping track of our busy schedules is just as important to running an organized home. Lucky for me I'm married to an artist-slash-geek,

Quick Q: Does anyone else watch Top Chef? The premiere was last night and I loved the challenge: they had to make a meal out of really random (and some gag-worthy) ingredients like black chicken and rattlesnake. The guest judge was Anthony Bourdain who

Does anybody else feel that since the birth of email the handwritten thank you note is a bit of a lost art? Over the past few months we've received countless gifts for our new baby, which has inspired me to keep a stash of generic note cards on hand so

by Kathleen Last Sunday, my DH and I were reading in the park right near the dog run. And I couldn't stop cooing over this adorable brown pup. Now, I've always been rather indifferent about getting a dog. My husband grew up with tons of dogs, so I know

I've been having trouble finding the time to get everything done around the house lately. Like many of us Nesties, both DH and I work full time, and by the time we're home for the day, made dinner and cleaned up the dishes, there's not enough time left

I am, by no means, a gourmet chef. But there are a few things I am very particular about in the kitchen, especially some items that I simply could not live without -- my quick 30-minutes-or-less meals depend on them! 1. Kitchen Shears : These all-purpose

By Anja My guy and I hardly ever fight . Of course, we get on each other's nerves every once and a while, but I seriously can't remember the last time (if ever) we had an all-out yelling argument. I have plenty of friends that would say this isn't healthy
