I grew up in a family that really appreciates food. I know a lot of people say that they love food, but as an adult, I’ve learned that our relationship with food is pretty unique. Food was (and still is) a source of celebration, of fun, an expression of curiosity and creativity. It is not unusual for my mom and I to have phone calls … Continue reading Recipe Roundup
It is a snowy Friday afternoon. I have laundry going, a pot of soup simmering, and I’ve just washed the floors so it smells like Murphy’s Oil Soap which is one of my favorite smells from my childhood. I have already gone grocery shopping and can now spend the evening tucked away and cozy, watching the snow from my perch in the kitchen. Life is … Continue reading Cilantro Lime Broth
I don’t know about you, but a bowl of noodles is the peak of comfort food for me. I love pasta in general, but noodles are in a category of their own. I’m a big fan of ramen, but I’ve recently been introduced to Chinese Yang Chun Noodles. They take a bit longer to cook, but are more substantial and truly a delight to eat. … Continue reading Garlic Noodles + Ginger Lime Shrimp
What a stupendous weekend! My parents came to visit Saturday and I put them to work cleaning up the yard at my flip house!!! More on that later. Honestly, having 70 degree days in November makes yard work positively dreamy. It was delicious to be outside and active. We also went for a walk around Green Lake and had dinner together. I wish they could … Continue reading Crispy Prosciutto + Lemony Asparagus Empowered Pasta
It’s about quarter to one and it’s been a delightfully simple, beautiful fall Sunday with no real duties, just the joy and freedom to follow whatever speaks to me. I slept in and then joined a friend for a hot chocolatey walk through downtown. When I got home, I found my self called to stay outside longer so I grabbed Brady and we soaked up … Continue reading Sunday View + A Simple Lunch
Let Sunday, October 18, 2020 be known forevermore hereafter as The Great French Fry Fisticuff of 2020. After a conversation the previous week in which we all shared our appreciation, nay, our devotion to French fries, a challenge was issued…who makes the best fries? And, so, we took it upon ourselves, for science and mankind, to get down and dirty with some spuds. Of course, … Continue reading The Great French Fry Fisticuff of 2020
Rosemary Mozzarella Stuffed Soft Pretzels. If that doesn’t get your mouth watering you might not be human. Maybe this makes me basic, but anything stuffed with cheese immediately has my attention. I also love rosemary. I came across this recipe on Pinterest recently and knew I needed to make them. Warm cheesy bread is comfort food at its finest. 10/10 would recommend. My only alteration … Continue reading Rosemary Mozzarella Stuffed Soft Pretzels
It’s been a while since my last post, but this one is a doozy to make up for the absence. Homemade Peanut Butter Brownie Ice Cream I mean, come on. This is the stuff dreams are made of. Life is so good. And this is so easy to make. Whip up a batch of ice cream for yourself this weekend and thank me later. As … Continue reading No Churn Peanut Butter Brownie Ice Cream
It’s foolish to even call this a recipe as there truly is nothing simpler, but if you’re looking for an absolutely refreshing, all natural, gorgeous beverage, you’ve got to make yourself some watermelon juice. To make things especially easy, start with a seedless watermelon. Scoop out all of the good pink insides and put it in a blender. Blend until smooth and then strain with … Continue reading Watermelon Juice
If you want your home to smell amazing, bake some bread. It’s tough to beat the yeasty aroma, unless you happen to follow it up with cooking some bacon which is what I did yesterday. To break in the KitchenAid Mixer that my boyfriend surprised me with (I know, I’m the luckiest :)), I decided to make french bread for BLTs. Or BLTCs, as we … Continue reading Homemade French Bread BLTs
