This past weekend for me was made of citrus. Sometimes life is crazy and confusing and filled to the brim with things I can’t quite grasp onto. So I reach out and grab onto an orange. And then, the thought of chocolate occurs. And chili powder. And sea salt. Because, of course! My weekend was going […]

I start with this salad at most gatherings. And the comments, “This dressing is so good. What’s in it?” Eventually turn into, “So will you please pray for me? Because this day has been hard.” And that’s why food is important. It answers the question, “Will I eat?” so the bigger questions can be asked. […]

Chicken Pot Pie has a way of filling up the home with warm greetings. It’s the guest that was ever grateful you invited it. The one you never want to leave. This recipe is magical. Like walking into another land. Where the scenery is warmth and safe, all introduced by the aroma of deep green […]

Lets talk lasagna. One dish meal that makes dreams come true. And of course, I wanted to conquer a healthier version. (Healthier) Butternut Squash Lasagna Recipe I can hear your collective gasps. My husband was right there with you. Who messes with lasagna? But, I mean. This: Was. Delicious. I omitted the noodles. Please don’t […]

I get the craving for takeout no less than three times a week. I know. It’s a plight I live with. Cravings are sneaky little monsters. Mine come upon me without any warning and before I know it I only have one single thought – the thought of that craving. It’s fun trying to be […]

UPDATE: this smoothie has gotten so many incredible reviews! I am so grateful! But you all have also wanted to know where I got my metal straws. Here they are: metal straws. They are fun and durable. Thanks for all the love on this post. Love! As detailed before, I am not a breakfast person. […]

This past weekend I noticed something. Large somethings, actually. Green somethings. Watermelons! They were on sale at my local grocery store. So I grabbed some up, went home and made watermelon soup. It is cold. It is ridiculously refreshing. It’s a gazpacho (cold soup!). Traditionally gazpacho is known as a cold vegetable or tomato based […]

Listen to me when I say, I don’t think it would necessarily be safe to put an air conditioner in your mouth. It’s probably not possible. But I feel the way the interwebs are going these days, I just need to make a disclaimer – it’s probably not a good idea to put an ac […]

Walking around town touting that I have the best burger recipe seems a little overbearing, doesn’t it?! And yet here I am. Telling the whole internet that this, this right here, is the best burger recipe. So good, the bun gets in the way. Don’t get me wrong. I love a bun just as much […]
