It’s the weekend, which means “fake out- take out” at our house. When Will & I started dating, going out to dinner was our favorite past time. We were also commuting 45 minutes between 2 cities to see each other on the weekends, so we usually celebrated by eating out every meal and treating the…
I love fresh spring rolls. Full of herbs, beautiful vegetables and – most often in my experiences – a delicious peanut sauce. I used to buy rice paper and make spring rolls at home regularly. However, I’ve grown lazy and found a culinary shortcut: by tossing all the ingredients in to a bowl, you can…
Do you ever feel like you can’t find balance? Like your work is stressful, your free time is all accounted for, and you can’t remember your last good night’s sleep? That has been my 2018. I’ve lacked balance, control & creativity and it’s been a little while since I’ve felt this out of whack. This…
New Years Eve Tradition in our family is an NYE Soiree. And it’s all about the appetizers that is why these taquitos are perfect! The problem with the holiday is that I’ve allowed myself to completely “let go” when it comes to food, this year. And to be honest, I’m not quite ready to stop…
For the majority of my life, my family has celebrated the Christmas holiday in my grandparent’s home in Savannah,GA. Every year, we pack up the car in Iowa & make the 18 hour car ride to Georgia. That may sound dreadful to some, but I’ve been doing it for 26 years and actually look forward…
‘Tis the season for Peppermint Mocha’s & let’s be honest, it’s always the season for popcorn. Which is why during the holiday’s I’m always tempted to buy every flavor of drizzled popcorn on the shelves- I LOVE IT! But I don’t love the obtuse amounts of sugar they are loaded with, so I’m making my own….
Ask and you shall receive. Many of you asked for the recipe of the salad I towed to this year’s Thanksgiving feast, so here it is! In an effort to add something on the lighter side-I’m towing along this Holiday salad to all my get-to-gethers. It’s filled with all the classic heart warming flavors we…
Banana bread has always been a guilty pleasure of mine and when Will and I moved in together, it was apparent he shared this mutual love of banana bread. It became a reoccurring weekend habit, that we were making banana bread and not the ‘healthy’ kind. Since switching to a more paleo based diet over…
Guys, Thanksgiving hasn’t even arrived & I’m already thinking about leftovers. When it comes to the family style meal- I am first in line for all the classic dishes: Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, & green bean casserole to be exact. But my favorite part of holiday cooking is the leftovers, like my all…
Most people can relate to having a food joint that they crave. For me, most of my favorites are no longer in the same state as I am; it is a double edged sword because I can avoid them by distance, but I over indulge when I get within reach! To avoid the madness of…
