I have been making a lot of pizza lately, and it’s really good. Like, REALLY good. I used to not really like homemade pizza. I am a crunchy-crust gal, and when you make pizza in the oven, the crust just never gets thin enough or crispy enough for me. One thing I don’t like...
Once upon a time there was a recently-turned-thirty-one year old gal who loved to live it up and get fun drinks at places like Starbuck’s, Peet’s Coffee, Nordstrom E-bar, Pannikin, Bird Rock Coffee Company… you get the idea. Iced beverages were her favorite. It started with freshly brewed and often flavored {but never sweetened} iced...
An Ideal Hamburger – by Kristin Murdock The basis of the hamburger, especially an Ideal Hamburger, is the meat itself. Ground beef, from a butcher, with an 80/20 ratio of meat to fat. To maintain the integrity of an Ideal Hamburger, the handling of said meat must be kept to a minimum. A simple formation...
This week is cray. And by this week I mean last week and this week and the week after and the week before. Cuh-ray-zay. With all that has been going on, and the Murdock Weight Loss Challenge still looming in the background, I needed a simple, healthy, delicious dinner I could make in approximately 10...
As I mentioned in my post yesterday my favorite night in Atlanta was Sunday. We made dinner at the Reynolds’ house, the boys smoked cigars {gross}, and I sipped on a crisp French Rose {the best}. The meal was inspired by ease, warm weather, and fresh ingredients we picked out at the farmer’s market. Here’s...
I know it’s not Cinco de May anymore, but these margaritas are a spring-into-summer treat worth drinking almost every day. Almost.

Tangerine Margarita makes one margarita ingredients: 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed tangerine juice {1-2 tangerines} 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice...
It’s been too long. Far too long. I’m sorry, internet! There’s just so much going on, I simply can not stay on top of it all. And I want to share every. single. second with you but that is simply unrealistic and unhealthy. Oh, and you might not actually be interested in every moment of...
Arkansas: Yep, we’re still here! The weather is crazy, the people are chatty, Boulevard Bread is still my favorite, and we have made some fun friends, which we are so grateful for. Fashion: It is difficult to take stunning fashion photos of yourself. It is especially difficult to take stunning fashion photos of yourself when...
Fruit tarts are so fancy. I feel like, maybe, if fruit tarts had a theme song, it would go something like “ooooh lala, ooooooh lalala…” I had never made a fruit tart before. It all seemed so complicated: make a perfect shortbread-like crust, whip and whip and whip and whip various creams and eggs until...
It’s the new year. Most of the country is convincing themselves they will be eating healthily from now until eternity. And while I applaud even the mildest effort toward increasing ones health, the January-gym-goer-I-only-eat-Lean-Cuisine lifestyle makes me absolutely nauseous. I mean, does anyone actually LIKE the way frozen fat free food tastes? Today, my friends,...
