I'm going to be honest here: I don't even know who I am anymore. I mean, a kale salad? When did I get so...so...healthy? Here's where I sit back and defend myself though...when you read a blog as lovingly and hilariously written as Peas and Thank You and you've met and love the daylights out of the author, then it makes you willing to take some risks. BIGTIMERISKS like making a kale salad and then enjoying it. I mean, I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I'm feeling pretty proud ... continue reading...
The Due Date
Well friends, we made it! 40 weeks exactly - and this is kind of what I've been looking like lately: You can't tell it here (or maybe you can) but I'm exhausted and so ready to just meet the little guy! He's still kicking around as usual, but more consistently throughout the day and not nearly as sharply as before (probably due to the lack of room). I'm good, but tired, and have only been measuring at about 1 cm dilated for the past 4 weeks, although I've gone from 50% to 70% effaced (if ... continue reading...
Lemon Pound Cupcakes for Two
OK, here's the deal. I was going to post today about either kale salad or enchiladas, until I remembered...THIS IS OUR DUE DATE!!!!!! Nope, still no baby yet, but I almost feel like this is his unofficial birthday. I mean, the day's still young y'all - he could still be the Leap Year baby we've thought him to be all along. But I couldn't let today go by without recognizing it birthday-style with some cupcakes. Just can't happen. This recipe actually makes 3 ... continue reading...

White Chocolate Covered Oreo Cups
Confession: one of my favorite songs EVAH is "Proud Mary" by Tina Turner. Now what does this have to do with Monday? What does it have to do with recipes? What does it have to do with, oh I don't know, LIFE? Well, like Ms. Turner sings in the song, we're going to start this week off nice and easy (even though she never does anything nice and easy). We're going to make something that requires all of 3 ingredients and about 10 minutes of your time. We're going to make ... continue reading...
Grown-Up Twice Baked Potatoes
The simple potato. Humble, innocent, content just being potato. How could you not love that? There are very specific ways that I like my potatoes - cubed and pan-fried with spices for breakfast, cubed and oven-roasted with dinner, baked with lots of butter and sour cream and cheese, and while we're at it pancake form ain't too shabby either. I am by no means a potato connoisseur but I figure the great things about potatoes is you don't have to be. They just want some lovin', ... continue reading...
One Year Ago Today
One year ago today was the worst day, by far, of my entire short life. One year ago today we found out that we had lost our first baby, the little one that we were planning so carefully for, the one that we loved so much that it felt like my heart would explode. The baby that we had just called all of our friends and family about on New Year's day - that baby was gone. One year ago I never dreamed that my heart would ever mend (it hasn't totally) or that I would ever want to try to have a ... continue reading...
Toasted Coconut Pecan Butter Cups
Something weird has happened. Actually, make that a couple somethings weird have happened. The first is that this weekend I vehemently claimed that I will no longer be eating Reese's peanut butter cups. That may or may not be a lie - I can't make claims like that against one of my favorite candies. But after being inspired by Ashley to make these pecan butter cups I really don't see us keeping Reese's in the house ever again. Except maybe Halloween...I am NOT making these to share with ... continue reading...
What to Expect Since I’m Expecting
Well guys, that time is coming up oh so quickly and I'm being forced to think about grown-up things like the future, insurance, and being a mom. You know, normal things...but since I feel like I'm essentially a 21-year-old trapped in a 28-year-old body I get a little intimidated when it comes to grown up things. But alas things are going to be changing in my life in a big way soon, and while I could not be more excited I'm also a little anxious about what that's going to look like, how my days ... continue reading...
Macaroni and Cheese with Melted Leeks and Bacon
Y'all. Make this. Just skip work, class, whatever you have going on and...make this. I've been going through a huge mac and cheese kick lately where all I crave is the real homemade kind with breadcrumbs and toasted cheese on top. The kind where creamy doesn't even begin to describe the texture, and bacon? Well, let's just be honest here...who wouldn't love a little bacon with anything they eat? Exactly. Funny story that's not really funny, except for now it's funny ... continue reading...
Vegan Apple Cranberry Snack Cake
Don't get scared...I meant to make something vegan for you today. I know you're probably wondering why on Earth I would be making something vegan. I mean, I FULLY support using real butter in baked goods, I eat eggs on a daily basis, cheese is a staple in our house, and we have some sort of meat at every dinner. So the vegan thing? Yeah, I know...it doesn't make sense. But try this cake and suddenly you'll see that OMG this vegan cake is face-rocking as it comes. And I have ... continue reading...
Chorizo Lentil Stew
Ohmigosh, can we please just chat for a second about how much I LOVE chorizo? Now I know, I know, I KNOW what it is made out of traditionally and I know that hey, it's not the healthier sausage choice for the world. BUT it's spicy and packs a ton of flavor and I don't really feel the need to apologize for flavor, you know? My first run-in with chorizo was in high school. See, every Friday I would treat myself to breakfast out, which usually meant Chick-fil-A or Sunshine Donuts ... continue reading...
