It’s been a great week visiting Andrew’s parents in the Phoenix area in Arizona—the weather has been in the 70’s all week long so we’ve enjoyed a bunch of hikes and outdoor jogging as well as some al fresco dining. We’re headed back to Brooklyn and some single-digit temperatures tomorrow, and while I’m not very … Continue reading Happy New Year from Arizona!
This was our extra-hearty Christmas morning breakfast today, prepared by Andrew’s dad. Delicious! We’re in Phoenix with Andrew’s family for a week, and the weather will be in the low 70’s the entire time—I’m so excited. Here we are on our post-breakfast hike today. For the rest of the day we’re planning on reading (I’m … Continue reading Biscuits & Sausage Gravy
It feels great to be cooking and blogging again—I missed my regular Monday post this week because I caught a bad cold and then a multi-day stomach virus on top of that! It’s hard to cook and write about food when you’re eating yogurt and plain rice, curled up on the couch watching Gilmore Girls … Continue reading Pumpkin Soup with Chestnuts & Chorizo
I can’t believe we’re already so far into December! It’s been an extra-busy season, but I’ve FINALLY pulled together my 2017 gift guide. I had a lot of good inspiration this year since we received some really fantastic items from our wedding registry, and I’ve included a few of those along with some other ideas. … Continue reading Lo-Fi Gourmet’s 2017 Holiday Gift Guide
Ever since our trip to Oslo and Copenhagen, I’d been trying to track down breads similar to the ones we ate there—dark, dense, heavy, and full of nuts and seeds. Not having had much luck, I started searching for recipes to bake my own. A recipe for “The Life-Changing Loaf of Bread” from the health-focused, … Continue reading The Seediest Bread
Milos (All the Feel-os) Like any Greek island version of a wild, post-apocalyptic Martha’s Vineyard with beaches from space would, Milos completely captured my heart. Also the food was amazing. The traditional Milos fried cheese pie, pitarakia, though delicious, was not all that photogenic and its photo didn’t make the blog post cut, but many … Continue reading Milos (All the Feel-os)
Sampling Santorini In last week’s post, we were just leaving Crete via the Heraklion port, on our way to Santorini! Even if you’ve never been there, you’ve definitely seen the pictures—the iconic white cube houses clustered all up and down the cliffs. It really does look like that, and it’s even more beautiful in person! … Continue reading Sampling Santorini
Cretan Eatin’ Crete was stop two on our honeymoon, and we stayed mainly in Chania, with a day trip to Elafonisi Beach and one day spent in Heraklion, where we caught our ferry to Santorini. Our two main takeaways: Crete is beautiful and the food is SO GOOD! Here’s a photo from Old Town Chania … Continue reading Cretan Eatin’
Exploring & Eating in Athens We had a feeling we would love Athens, our first honeymoon stop, but people kept telling me how “gritty” it was, how we should just use it as a stopping point on our way to the islands, how we should really avoid spending much time there. This was not our … Continue reading Exploring & Eating in Athens
Wedding! + BBQ It’s been almost a month since Andrew and I got married on October 1—I can hardly believe it! As promised, here are a few pictures from our wedding weekend. I actually have very few pictures of the wedding food. I brought my camera, but believe it or not I didn’t get a … Continue reading Wedding! + BBQ
