As I type this there are currently birds feasting on my remaining green tomatoes, essentially killing all of my hard work and progress with gardening this summer. Those little guys were never my favorite animal anyway, but now they've officially made the list. I feel like Zooey Deschanel (whose name I just had to Google so I would spell it right) in Failure to Launch where the birds are basically making her an anxious mess. Anyway. I just had to share...and let it be known that I'm ... continue reading...
Greek Roasted Garlic Quinoa Lettuce Burgers
This giveaway is now closed & the winner has been selected and notified. Thank you for entering! When it comes to eating well, I'm of the mindset that fresh is usually best, but the reality is that I'm a busy mom who just wants to eat well and feed her family well too. That means that I won't always be willing and able to create every part of every meal from scratch, but I also know that it takes just a few minutes to take an already prepared and really delicious food and make it our ... continue reading...
A 5-Minute Vacation
Growing up we took vacations every break we had from school. Part of the fun was just the simple anticipation of what adventures were to come, what I should pack in my over-the-seat storage thingy (yes, that's the official name), and of course what cassette tapes (later CDs) would fit in order to properly jam out on the highway. Every year when summer rolls around my usual homebody persona is replaced by this gypsy soul. I plan trips and check airline miles and try to figure out just how ... continue reading...
Oven-Roasted Paprika Okra
"I only like okra if it's fried." A statement I know well, mainly because it happens to have been uttered from the lips of this really good-looking guy I'm married to. It was uttered at the farmer's market, every time we opened the fridge door and saw the bag of okra, and during the process of cooking these little cuties. "I only like okra if it's fried" then turned into something like, "Mmmmfphchompslurpmmmmmm." (in case you couldn't tell that was joyful eating of the ... continue reading...
Inspired Week
These French burgers and a new French fry method that is PURE GENIUS. I love looking at old photos and trying to picture what life was like before I ever existed. These old photos show that nothing much has changed in motherhood when you get down to the lovely, snuggle-inducing, crying-happy-tears (and slightly awkward/embarrassing) basics. This new-to-me blog. Y'all, I can't even...this girl is (as the name of the blog implies) just so chic. She has no idea who I am ... continue reading...
Summer Squash Goat Cheese Galette
Last week I was a great big tease and posted this picture on my Instagram account, and now I'm here to deliver. Y'all, have you ever heard of or tried a galette before? It's basically a free-form pie (although this one is not with a buckwheat crust), and can be sweet or savory. Seeing as how I'm a recent pie crust lover I seriously at 3/4 of this thing in 24 hours. No I'm not kidding, and nope - not sorry. It's kind of heavenly! But first let's talk about pattypan squash. Have y'all ... continue reading...
The Next Steps to Taming My Closet
First of all the well-bred Texan in me feels the need to apologize for our messy bed situation. I actually, right after I took this, bagged everything up and deep cleaned our entire room because looking at it through a camera lens kind of freaked me out. True story! Last week I inched my way into this whole "dressing like a grown-up" thing and shared a little bit about my most recent StitchFix box. I talked about how my changing body from pregnancy and back again has made this whole ... continue reading...
Cranberry Lime Loaf
Confession: I totally found a bag of fresh cranberries in the back of my freezer from last fall. I KNOW. And I consider it nothing short of a miracle that they had escaped freezer burn and, in fact, looked just as gorgeous as the day I got them from the store! I'm all about cranberry sauce, but I think I was about to lose it on Thanksgiving goodness about 4 weeks before the actual holiday last year. Such is the life of a food blogger, but how lucky to have some of those little ... continue reading...
Dressing Like a Grown-Up + StitchFix
Can I be honest with you guys? I'm a little more than terrified to be posting about clothes today. I used to have a great eye for style, especially when I was in college (and, you know, wasn't working out at the gym or going to class), but over the years as I've gained weight and lost weight and gained a baby and became a mom? Well, all that I knew about my body and what fit and what looked good on my flew out the window. I'm going to be doing some drastic (for me) changes in the wardrobe ... continue reading...
Inspired Week
I just love Kristen, her honesty, her adventures, her search for happiness. Dine + Dish is a fantastic blog all around, but I just so connected with and loved this post from her this past week! Miracles are not myth, they happen all the time! I absolutely loved seeing this post from Madison updating her sweet baby's progress, but more than that I love how she reminds me - all of us - that God is good, all the time. I truly believe that and can't wait to follow her ... continue reading...
Baked Zucchini + Ricotta
Simple food is my jam. I mean, y'all know I love whipping eggs whites and have been known to hand-whip cream before. I think baking cakes and trying my hand at all the cookies are really fun things to do. But when it comes to feeding my family? I like to make it healthy and quick, using what I have on hand already and it has to taste GOOD. I mean, I love food but Nate loves REALLY good food and I never want to make him settle for less. This little number is another dish that I made ... continue reading...
Always On with Havertys
I've mentioned before the ever-present issues that Nate and I have had when it comes to decorating our home. The fact that we didn't even think to talk colors or patterns or assess needs when we registered for our wedding gifts, the fact that we felt all the things had to be in place immediately after moving somewhere, and the fact that clearance sections at stores have always grabbed our attention - well, all of those things together make for a home that's not very put ... continue reading...
