In light of yesterday's post, I have to say that I've really been working on celebrating the small things in life more and more lately. I love applying this to the things that really matter to the heart and relationships, but there are so many times that simple flavors really get lost in the shuffle of this ever-growing foodie world we live in. Now you should know, I am ALL ABOUT flavor. I love to mix and match, try new combinations, and new spins on classic recipes make my little ... continue reading...
It’s a Celebration
This life. Y'all, it's so short and sweet. And I wonder - how many times do I really sit back and soak in the blessings, the small things, that are the building blocks of this short and sweet life? The things in marriage like the way Nate smells, the sunshine sparkling back at me in his eyes, the simple pleasure of being able to roll over in bed and hug him? What about the little bits of communication, the quick kisses, and the way he holds my hand? Or the way ... continue reading...
Honey Garlic Chicken Chopped Salad
I think one of the things that ended up drawing Nate and I together was our mutual love for all things garlic. I really don't know if I can get enough of the stuff, and thankfully my husband is the exact same way - and has been since day one. It's great because it never matters if someone has garlic breath when we're canoodling - the reality is that we BOTH do. Winning, right? Right! So I am a huge fan of all things sweet and spicy or even sweet and salty - the difference ... continue reading...
I’m a M.O.B.
I'll be honest, when I first decided to title this post I kind of snickered. Obviously at first glance it looks like "mob" and when I was younger I was just so convinced that my dad was a mobster. (Please note that he is not, in fact, a mobster). See, he teaches film studies and from time to time did movies that were based on the mob, and so he would know random (to me) facts about organized crime in general as it related to specific movies. However, since I was in middle school I didn't ... continue reading...
Paprika Zucchini Saute with Fresh Herbs and Goat Cheese
Aren't fresh herbs just so pretty? I just realized - I haven't updated y'all on my gardening efforts yet! Let's just say that while my "yield" is not what I had initially hoped, I'm finding that I really enjoy being able to grow my own food and can't wait to have a true (i.e. non-rental) yard to really plant a bunch of plants and nurture them into yummy specimens perfect for dinner. But let's start with the herbs first - I am such a fan of fresh herbs but I really ... continue reading...

What I Love About…Picky Palate
Oh Jenny. Jenny Jenny Jenny...where do I even start? I honestly can't remember the first time I saw Picky Palate because I've been reading it for so long and loving every post - but you can probably bet it was a cookie stuffed with something delicious. Or maybe a super simple and delicious weeknight meal that made my husband ask me to start cooking more like her. Either one could totally be the reason I started reading, but what's kept me around isn't all the recipes, but Jenny's ... continue reading...
Sun Dried Tomato Tuna and Potato Casserole
Is it weird that I think it's kind of funny how potato and tomato kind of make this recipe title rhyme? Because I definitely snicked to myself about that as I was thinking about it and typing it out. Y'all, this is me - real life and super dork! I wouldn't change a thing about it ;) This casserole has got to be one of my favorite things I've made in a while. It's SUPER easy, filling, inexpensive, comforting and (most importantly) DELICIOUS. I love that basically a ... continue reading...
Planning Life: A Tour Through My Erin Condren Planner
When it comes to "planning life" this girl I know (me) can get a little anxious, worrying profusely about making sure I don't forget something and keeping all the plates spinning. It can be hard to balance all of life in ways that help me and everyone around me to live healthfully and happily, and for the longest time I had been looking for a good way to do it. Now let me just say this - you don't have to go out and buy a fancy planner to live a happy and successful life. You ... continue reading...
Smokey Potato Salad with Tuna
I don't know what it is, but I have been LOVING potatoes lately. I mean, the reality is that I've always liked them - what's not to like? - but this borderline addiction is starting to get out of hand. I can count 3 large bags of hashbrowns that I've shredded in the fridge and a full 2 pounds of mini Yukon golds sitting on my counter right now. Oh, and did I mention they're all getting eaten this week? Hehehehe (nervous laughter) ;) The way I see it is that ... continue reading...
All About the Milestones
Since having Weston over 15 months ago there have been two constant questions rolling around in my mommy brain:What's the next milestone?Has he reached that yet?Obviously there are tons of other things rolling around in there too, but as a first time mom I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing about 95% of the time. Those milestones aren't just really neat to watch happen - they're also signs that my baby boy is growing up strong and healthy and more or less correctly. I remember we had no ... continue reading...
Chicken, Zucchini and Spinach Enchiladas with Skinny Avocado Cream Sauce
It's been one way-too-short weekend filled with love, laughter, music and family and I don't know if I'm quite ready to go back to the regular day-to-day just yet. Not that there's anything wrong with the day-to-day, mind you - I really cherish these times when Wes and I can slowly wake up together, munching on breakfast with the Today Show in the background, folding clothes while he digs through our room in search of whatever treasure he'll uncover next, or (on especially yummy cozy rainy ... continue reading...
