Hello old friends! It has been a while. The last time I posted I was in my second trimester of pregnancy and eating pasta and caesar salads like my life depended on it. Now, fast forward a year and a half and I have a 16 month old toddler (hardly even a baby anymore, what?!) … More Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Over the past five months, my respect for mothers has doubled. No, quadrupled. Ladies, this whole pregnancy thing is no joke. And I haven’t even made it to the birthing part or actually raising up a tiny human being yet! I am truly, truly in awe of you. The first trimester was filled with nausea … More Creamy Tomato Pasta
Disclaimer – I began this blog post over a month ago when it was still prime peach season in South Carolina. But, then I started either nesting or napping during most of my free time. Then we took our annual summer trip to Maine. Now it’s practically mid-August and the only peaches to be found … More South Carolina Peaches
We are currently in a rare cold front down here in South Florida that seems to be sticking around for more than 24 hours and I couldn’t be happier! All I want to do is curl up under a blanket and eat warm, comforting foods like turkey chili, mushroom risotto or grilled cheese sandwiches. Since chili never goes over well … More The Perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Corn has never been a vegetable commonly found in our home. Every now and then creamed corn shows up on my grandmother’s table, and honestly, it’s one of those foods that I can take or leave, depending on my level of hunger. Corn on the cob hasn’t been an option for me since an accident in the 8th grade … More Mexican Street Corn
Happy New Year, friends! It’s officially that time of the year when we start cleaning all of the sweets out of the kitchen and begin stocking the shelves with real food. I don’t know about you, but my body could use a cleanse. Not necessarily a week of drinking only green juice and broth (I’d lose my mind), … More Sweet Potato Hash
Do you ever get into a side-dish rut? Deciding on the main dish can be pretty simple – chicken, steak, pasta, fish.. but, when it comes to the sides I feel like my brain immediately goes to salad and then gets stuck. Here’s a list of a few side dishes that seem to be on constant rotation in … More At Our Table – Side Dishes
Here in South Florida, we most likely won’t experience that sweet, crisp fall weather for another couple of months. (Sobs.. ) I’ve spoken to a few friends who are not originally from here, and we all agree that October is the time of year we all start to question our sanity for choosing to live in this land of … More Pumpkin Chocolate-Chip Oatmeal Cookies
As you can tell by now, I really enjoy spending time in the kitchen, creating meals, and feeding my people. But, let’s be real – there are some days, even weeks when the last thing I want to do is plan out a week of meals, go grocery shopping, and then go grocery shopping again a … More Hello Fresh vs. Blue Apron
Over the past couple of weeks, we have been blessed with an unusual amount of time with family. First, my in-laws visited us for a long weekend, and then a few days later we went to South Carolina to see both of our families for Labor Day weekend. Per usual, when we get together with family or friends, … More Savory Sweet Potatoes
