A Homemaker's Habitat is the story of my life as lived through my heart and my tummy. Though I'm technically not a Homemaker (I work at Edeman Public Relations), home is where my heart is. I hope you'll join me on my journey through culinary school, newlyweddedness and puppy parenthood.

Crawling, Cruising and Cutting Teeth

Someday I hope to have time for a real blog post again but for now between freelance work, house and garden projects and keeping an eye on one Very Busy Little Person, I'm absolutely exhausted by the time bedtime rolls around. The good news is bedtime actually sticks these days...Lillian is actually...

Playdate Snacks: Vanilla Orange Sugar Cookies

My little group of mom friends takes turns hosting afternoon play group most weeks. Its as much for the kids as it is for the moms, really.

Apple and Sour Cream Coffee Cake

This week, we have a very special visitor staying with us: my 92 year old G-ma Rose. We're so excited to have her here and we plan to put her to work making her famous meatballs, pizzelles and doing the ironing (she's a master with an iron).

Lillys Lunch: Vegetarian Brown Rice "Sushi"

Vegetarian Brown Rice "Sushi"I love these Annie Chun Sushi Wrap kits. I get the ones that come with brown rice. Lilly and I split the rice, but she skips the seaweed paper and soy sauce. We pair the rice with well steamed carrots, edamame (hers are shelled and cut in half) and avocado. Easy to make,...

Vanilla Ginger Fairie Cakes with Lemony Royal Icing

Today is Mine and JiTs third wedding anniversary. Between that, the nice weather and a scheduled playdate at our place tomorrow afternoon, I had some good excuses to bake during Lillys afternoon nap. She was asleep for just over an hour and that's the time it took to make these. Easy, light, springy...

Lillys Lunch

I've decided to start a new post category called Lilly's Lunch. It will be a semi-regular feature on what we're eating for lunch. Lilly and I typically share our lunch and with just a few adaptations we basically eat the same meal even though she's 9 months old and doesn't have teeth. She's a fantas...
