Tomato and Cucumber Summer Salad

Tomato and Cucumber Summer Salad

Summer has arrived in Brooklyn, and, inspired by the lovely weather, I purchased about a zillion vegetables this weekend with the intent of cooking all weekend and having leftovers all week.  I’m one recipe in so far, and I think I may have accidentally purchased enough veggies to feed five people for a week –…

My studio apartment in Brooklyn boasts one of the tiniest kitchens known to man.  Cooking a full meal can be a bit of a challenge, with only two burners on an electric stove and an antiquated microwave to work with, and I confess that the thought of the dishes produced by the endeavor that I’ll…

One of my favorite memories is the day I discovered feta.  I will likely never be able to find this place again, but on a beautiful spring day on the 2nd floor terrace at a restaurant in Tirana, Albania, someone passed me a plate of cheese and urged me to try it.  I kid you not,…

Meet Happy
Simple Felicity is, at its heart, a blog based on the unshakeable belief that happiness really isn't all that complicated. It's often found in the simplest of things: good food, good books, and good company. So those are the things I write about, along with a few other things that really matter to me, including faith and feminism. A bit about me: My name is Happy. I have an amazing talent for misplacing my keys, a deep appreciation for whomever looked at the coffee bean and thought, "Hey, I wonder what would happen if I roasted this?", and road trips to Michigan are pretty much my favorite.
