Oh. My. This is not a joke. If I could eat one thing for the rest of my life, this meal would be a top contender. Homemade Whole Wheat Pizza Dough with Black Mission Figs, Fontina Cheese, Caramelized Balsamic Onions and Arugula.I wanted to celebrate Friday with a special meal. I almost cried when this [...]
I have been craving sandwiches. I had tortillas in the refrigerator, however; a wrap sandwich would not do. I needed hearty, toasty bread. I made a mandatory pit stop after work yesterday. I spend WAY too much money on food. 2 slices whole wheat bread (toasted), whole grain dijon mustard, honey drizzle, mixed greens, mozzarella [...]
WE DID IT! My dad and I completed 13.1 miles this morning both in under 2-hours(pictures to come…they are on my mom’s camera) . I’m so proud of my dad. It was the furthest he has ever run! I ran my first half-marathon 2-years ago and never thought I would do one again. All summer [...]
Yep, I am one of those suckers who loves the Fall for early sunsets and chilly temperatures. I don’t feel obligated to do anything but relax at the end of my day. I look forward to the moment when I can finely settle down with my favorites: wine, chocolate, and fuzzy slippers. Throw in a [...]
Roasted Butternut Squash; All Day Boston Baked Beans; Baked Parmesan Kale; Cabernet SauvignonMy dinner last night was inspired by Caitlin‘s Sweet Potato and Baked Beans combination.

Southern girl at heart. Dinner tonight was leftovers. Typically I dislike leftovers. I love cooking and they deprive me of the opportunity to make something new. Even though [...]
I have not lived. Dinner was ridiculously simple and delicious: Slow Cooked Boston Baked Beans; Homemade Skillet Cornbread; Kale Sauteed in Olive Oil, Garlic and Lemon topped with Cherry Tomatoes and Grated Parmesan Cheese; and a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. Photos first, then words. This knocked my socks off. Er…well flip flops. Sandal season is [...]

I made them dinner as they worked hard to hang blinds and photos.Fettuccine and Scallops with Zucchini, Summer Squash, Cherry Tomatoes in a White [...]
It’s FRIDAY!! WOOH Let’s celebrate with good food! Starting with breakfast in a fun bowl. I decided to give my over-sized tea cups a break this morning and put my overnight oats in a fancy dish. Banana-Chia Overnight Oats (1/3 cup rolled oats, 1/3 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/3 cup 2% Greek Yogurt, 2 tsp [...]
Chicken Spinach-Feta Sausage, Black Mission Figs, Green Beans, English Cucumber, Grilled Sweet Onion, Arugula, Goat Cheese and dressed with Balsamic/Olive Oil/Honey. How is it already September? And more importantly, where did Summer go? Although the Fall is quickly approaching, the hot Summer temperatures have been relentless the past few days. It was another 90 degree, [...]
