The last couple of weeks I’ve been living vicariously through my friends in the north and enjoying my snows-filled Instagram and Snapchats feeds 🙂  Thankfully it’s not that cold here in Texas but still “cold” enough to enjoy a good cup of soup. When I was home for Christmas, my mom made a Winter Squash … Continue reading
Because I don’t eat enough granola (I only make it every weekend), I thought the perfect recipe to end pumpkin week with is Pumpkin Granola. Yes it sounds a little funny at first but this is my new favorite fall breakfast. And snack. And dessert. PS for those of you who are not pumpkin fans, … Continue reading
How is July already over? This summer has been going by so quickly and I feel like I’ve been spending lots of time in air conditioned buildings (100 degree weather is not my thing). One of the things I do venture outside for is the farmer’s market. It has become one of my Sunday morning … Continue reading
Throwback to my blonde day(s) and our staple summer vacation in Maine. I could totally go for a day spent in the sun at the lake. I could also go for a big bowl of popcorn… For now I’m just going to have to enjoy these “brownies” that I made the other day in an … Continue reading
These might just be the best cookies I’ve ever made. How could you go wrong with the combination of brown butter, coffee, and sugar?

I celebrated a birthday this week, leave for Los Angeles tomorrow to visit one of my best friends from college (thank you frequent flier miles for making this possible), and had this for breakfast. Life is good. Healthy Banoffee Parfaits (with stove-top granola) (3 servings) 1 large, ripe banana 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt (I … Continue reading
Sometimes when I am trying out new recipes, I only make enough for one serving just in case I don’t love it. Well this is a recipe I should have fully committed to! I should have known I would love the combination of artichokes, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, and almonds. Add it to a big … Continue reading
Whenever I type the word bananas I think of Gwen Stefani and her song “Hollaback Girl” so thank you Gwen for the title of this post. The reason why I had to type bananas is because today I am sharing my favorite banana bread recipe. It’s a recipe my mom clipped from The Yankee Cook years … Continue reading
With lots of exciting things going on in my life, I don’t have as much time to spend in the kitchen. So this past weekend, I made a few meals that would be perfect for freezing and reheating on the nights I didn’t have the time to make a full meal. I searched on my … Continue reading
This dish is one of my favorite comfort foods and perfect for a cold night. Cold is a feeling I have not experienced in a while. As I’m writing this, it is 79 degrees here and a frigid 12 degrees at home. I think I made a wise choice moving south. (We’ll see how I feel about … Continue reading
