It's no secret I adore Ina Garten. Her recipes are spot on, I love her style, and I kind of just want to camp out in her garden. That makes sense to camp out in the North East year-round, right? No? However, as much as I admire Ina one thing drives me nuts - she measures EVERY.SINGLE.THING. All the time. And I get it! It leads to consistently delicious results, which is always a good thing, but I have zero time and close to zero room in my dishwasher for ... continue reading...

Hallelujah, the weekend is HERE! We've got a really fun one in store...Grandma & Grandpa are in town!!! Our boys love their grandparents so much, I absolutely adore my parents, and bonus? Nate and I get to go on a date (YAY) AND my 8 loads of laundry from this week are folded and put away. Score! This week was actually really great. We got to go swimming more than usual, W jumped off the diving board for the first time and is now an official 3-year-old adrenaline junkie. A is ... continue reading...
The BEST Honey Mustard Dressing
This is one of my single-most viewed recipe ever on this site, and y'all? I must admit I'm pretty stoked about it. First of all, honey mustard dressing comes second only to a spicy, garlicky Ranch dressing if you ask my Texas-loving self. A great honey mustard is great on almost every foodstuff in the world, minus dessert. And honey mustard is one of the simplest dressings you can make at home by yourself. Vinaigrettes are super simple and highly adaptable, but can require a lot of different ... continue reading...
Citrus Olive Oil and Honey Grilled Pineapple
GAH! First of all, thank you guys SO MUCH for your sweet comments/emails/messages and over support and encouragement on the start of my Etsy shop! It means so much to know that I have this community rallying around me and pushing me to pursue new things, scary as they may be. Y'all are the best :) I have a confession to make today: I don't think I've gone without dessert for at least 6 months now. Every.SINGLE.day I have had something sweet to cap off my meal, maybe even multiple ... continue reading...
To New Ventures
So this weekend. I started an Etsy shop. Weird right? I tried to write out a little intro and just sidle up to that little slice of information so coolly and casually, but after several nights of little sleep it would appear that my smoothness is no longer intact. So there it is: I started a shop, and you can visit it by clicking right here. For the past couple of years I've become much more interested in design and photography. I always say that it's Nate's fault; before I met him ... continue reading...

I'm so excited it's the weekend, aren't you? One would think that staying at home would make it feel like it's all one big weekend all the time, but that's SO not the case. Plus I love getting to spend extra time with Nate and having the four of us together for a few days straight. We don't have anything big planned this weekend, other than just hanging out and me getting caught up on work stuff during naps. I have so many fun recipes to share! OH OH OH! I forgot...I'm finally going ... continue reading...
Indoor Stove-Top S’mores
When I was in college I had quite the experience in discovering food on so many levels. Despite the fact that I basically had a shortened version of culinary school, I learned things like roasted chicken Ramen is great with wedges of cheddar cheese...the noodles melt into the cheese and just adds to the saltiness. I learned that you can, in fact, eat 10 cobs of sweet corn with butter and pepper for dinner and still survive. Other acceptable dinners include microwaved ... continue reading...
Creamy Lemon Parmesan Pasta
This recipe isn't new. In fact I'm basically recycling it. BUT WAIT! Don't go! The reason is because it is seriously crazy good and seriously crazy easy. And I can't not share it again when I know we all need a quick meal that rocks. I've been really working on making fast, healthy and hearty meals lately because when I spend time in the kitchen I really have to make it count. I have a crazy climbing toddler and a baby that loves to be held, and so if there's anything I've learned ... continue reading...
12 Weeks: A Week of Firsts
Y'all, I'm still in shock...how was it that 12 weeks ago this little man burst onto the scene?! It feels simultaneously like it was just yesterday and also that it was many more months ago that our lives were flip-turned upside down (don't make me bust out the whole song!) by his arrival. I haven't gone into a ton of detail, but my pregnancy with sweet Austin was not the easiest. Not that there were issues or complications, but I was just exhausted all the time and struggled a lot with body ... continue reading...

Hello friends! I'm so excited it's Friday, but when is that not the case? This week was full, hard, and filled with a lot of joy and a lot of grace. I'm humbled in so many ways on an hourly basis at this calling of motherhood and my job as a blogger, but there's not a single moment I would trade for the world. I've been watching an inordinate amount of HGTV lately, with House Hunters International, Beach Front Bargain Hunt, Lake Front Bargain Hunt, and Caribbean Life being at the ... continue reading...
Rosemary and Roasted Red Pepper Butter
Butter. Really, is there anything better? When I was growing up we always had margarine around our house, and I honestly can't remember trying real butter until I had some at a friend's house one day in high school. I remember I was terrified because his mom had left it out in a French butter bell and it was so soft and, well, buttery, but I thought it would be rotten from sitting at room temperature. Clearly I was wrong and clearly that was a moment of divine ... continue reading...
Creamy Citrus Curd
When it comes to desserts I’m a fruit-dessert person all the way. Don’t get me wrong, I love chocolate, but there’s just something about the sweet and tart that I just can’t get enough of. I really love a beautiful fruit-based curd that I can use in tarts, parfaits, pies, or just with a spoon. Citrus-based is a classic, but I have tried my hand (successfully I should add) with berry curds and have yet to be disappointed. I think the best thing about it is the use of great local eggs and the ... continue reading...
