The other day I asked my friend who recently started seeing someone if he was going to be her Valentine, and she said, “I don’t really think he’s in to Valentine’s Day.” I raised my eyebrows and asked if that meant that he’d really let the day go by without even acknowledging it – and… [Read more…]

I was kind of surprised that searching “Elizmas” on my blog yields very few results given that it’s the second best holiday of the year. Elizmas is Elizabeth’s birthday and since she loves Christmas so much, we’ve made it into a perfect mash-up. We use Elizmas to take advantage of all of the holiday activities… [Read more…]

I spent all of last Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights covered in flour and overly hot thanks to our ambitious plan to bake 5 different kinds of holiday cookies and fudge. Not only did we endeavor to make six kinds of baked goods, but we also doubled each recipe – resulting in hundreds of cookies… [Read more…]

Two vegetarians, one vegan and five omnivores gathered to eat one hell of a Thanksgiving dinner at my apartment last night. You’ve already read about the menu, but here are a few photos of the feast. For dessert, we had apple pie, cherry pie and German Chocolate pie – oh my! I made this menu… [Read more…]

This year, I’m hosting Thanksgiving by myself. Sure, my guests are responsible for bringing dishes to round out the menu, but to be completely honest, sometimes I don’t like eating other people’s food. That’s why Heather and I took on the entire spread last year, and probably why I started out making only 3 dishes… [Read more…]

My most favorite philanthro-friend Elizabeth made a spur-of-the-moment decision on Thursday afternoon to come spend the weekend in Seattle, and I had exactly 46 hours to show her everything I love about the city. On Friday afternoon, we went to happy hour at re:public and then to the Seattle Public Library to see Harry and… [Read more…]

Once upon a time, I was a party girl. Apparently not anymore because last night, instead of going out and celebrating New Year’s Eve, I stayed home and cooked a bunch of things and then ate them. Borrrring! But delicious. Our last meal of 2010 was untraditional to say the least. When I was growing up,… [Read more…]

Any good girl raised in Boulder knows that it’s best to buy local whenever and wherever possible. Buy local, eat local, support your community, etc. So you can probably imagine the horror I felt when I realized that I had purchased vanilla beans from Penzey’s instead of Savory Spice Shop (for some reason, Boulder thinks… [Read more…]

I’ve been suffering through a nasty bout of writers block lately, and it’s put me in funk so deep that I can barely look at my SarahStuder.com bookmark’d page without feeing a tremendous amount of guilt. I don’t know what’s going on, but I figured that I could get back into the swing of things… [Read more…]

I’m writing this from deep within my Thanksgiving food coma. I’m EXHAUSTED. What a cooking marathon! But I almost feel like everything I’ve done in the last year (cooking-wise) led up to this extravagant Thanksgiving spread. I’m sure no one will be surprised to hear that the menu I wrote about a few days ago… [Read more…]
