Sunday bowls to fill our souls is a thing around here. And maybe more importantly, dinner is totally done for the next 2 nights so I can get back to the big stuff in life.  Tonight on tap: a little Ella Fitzgerald on the speakers, @lecole41 red wine in our glasses, this new roasted poblano chicken tortilla […]

I had to wait until the weather actually turned, you know? And that it was official on that calendar. To finally admit that Fall is here. To finally make that shift into the cozy, earlier eves, to cooking again, and actually enjoying the process (without the “stress” of doing some outdoors, at all hours of […]

WELP….THE SECRET IS FINALLY OUT. Last week, exactly 3 days after moving into our new house, still in the midst of a new kitchen remodel, holes in the wall and amidst all the crazy, I let you guys in on my quiet secret that’s been in the works for a little while now, on instagram:  […]

Oh, taking a quick little sun break from my incessant instagram stories (thank you for loving me anyways) while in Portugal today, to share with you guys one of my ALL TIME  favorite summer recipes from Cookbook. I wouldn’t interrupt my beach vacay, for just any recipe, so pay real close attention. This one is the […]

But if you’re looking for more of classic crust-situation, the Cauliflower Crust Pizza from the Cookbook will be more-so your jam. Or the next best thing, using my other total fav, […]

This much I know is true: food is magical. Especially thoughtful and intentional food- the kind that deeply settles something in us, and especially so when you share it with people you love, and wanna squish hug as hard as you can. It’s something it took me most of my life to really know it’s […]

Can we all just agree that Mondays are for SIMPLE?  And for proving that you always have SOMETHING to make in that pantry of yours, even though there’s “nothing” to eat. I had the same thought this morning. Running around, trying to make my weird morning bevvie while trying to tie up my nikes over […]

I have to admit. When I cook a little homemade dinner, even after a crazy day, I feel like I’m winning at life. It’s like this soothing little routine that says- you got this mamma. It’s like wrapping yourself (and anyone lucky enough to be around you) up in this magical cozy goodness that promises […]

It wasn’t long ago when I shared about my version of a healthier bridal/baby/anything shower, and you guys left so much love and asked so many great questions, that now I want to share more about my little behind-the-scenes healthy party/entertaining style. Especially as we approach the season of it in the next coming weeks.
