Last weekend it was so cold in South Carolina. It even snowed in some parts of the state. Which really messed with this Colorado girl. I discovered a few things about me. One, at the first sighting of a chill I will pull out winter clothes like I’m preparing for negative degree temperatures.  Two, despite living in […]

Can we just breathe real quick?! It’s Sunday and this past week has been. Wow! So much. And this. I won’t go into all the details now because I’m sure your week was bursting bright right open too. Maybe some of it was dripping sunshine light and some of it was the gray, mundane life […]

When I was in college ranch dressing was a staple. On vegetables, yes. With pizza always. Lettuce was the vehicle to get more ranch dressing in my life. Because, I was in college and ranch served as a therapy of sorts. Oh college days…you were good to me. Then on Pinterest a few summers ago […]

Spring, it’s your time. Do your thing. You see, it’s been cold around here. I mean, it snowed. In South Carolina. Where it does not snow. So, I am all giddy and ready for spring to make her appearance. Jeremy on the other hand is wearing gloves and beanies and sweaters like cold weather is […]

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 […]
