Welcome to the blog!
It’s that time of year again! Pumpkin spice everything! I mean, who doesn’t love pumpkin?
I love when pumpkin is in season. You can find really great pumpkin puree in the store, but I also like to make my own at home. It tastes fresher than the canned pumpkin, plus you can get a lot more bang for your buck when you make it yourself. I also like roasting the pumpkin seeds and eating them as a snack.
Read MoreDon’t you think it should just be breakfast all of the time?
I love eating breakfast for any meal of the day, especially eggs. They are so versatile, and packed with protein, that I think they can be served at any time. Frittatas sound really fancy, but they are basically a crustless quiche. It is healthier and lighter than the buttery (and wonderful) quiche.

I also happen to love tacos! I mean, who doesn’t? So, why not marry the two!?
Veggie tacos are my favorite “go-to” recipe during the week.
Read MoreI know that picking up food or ordering takeout can be quick and easy, but it leaves you eating unhealthy food. You typically do not know all of the ingredients in your meal, and you end up spending more money.
Read MoreNow, I may not have been born in the South, but when I was introduced to sweet tea, I wish I would have been. I learned about sweet tea when my sister was touring Florida State, and I was in high school in Michigan. We were staying at this amazing plantation in Tallahassee, which might as well be Georgia it is so close.
Read MoreI am such a sucker for Southern food! I experienced Southern style food here and there growing up, but it wasn’t until I went to school in Tallahassee, Florida at Florida State, that I experienced real Southern food. Tallahassee might as well be Georgia, they are so close!
Read MoreI have been getting ready for Easter in my house, and with that comes a lot of eggs! I like to “blow out” the eggs so that I can use the raw eggs to cook with, instead of having smelly hardboiled eggs around (tutorial here).
Read MoreI know, I know…I make a lot of scones, but they are just so good. I always talk about how convenient scones are to have around, because you can make them ahead of time, and store them in the freezer. The best part is they can go straight from the freezer to the oven!
Read MoreTime seems to fly during busy weekdays. Who am I kidding? I am a parent; I’m busy on the weekends too. It always seems to feel like I can’t fit in “downtime.” I can’t say I have a typical job, because I work from home, and then run around town going to class, going on auditions, shooting segments, shopping for crafts, and running the everyday errands.
Read MoreGranola is one of my favorite staples to have around, because it is a good on-the-go snack that is healthy, and gives you lots of energy. I also love to have it around for a quick breakfast idea. I’m pretty sure I haven’t bought granola from the store for at least 7 years or so now.
Read MoreThis is one breakfast that you can also have for dinner! I mean, who doesn’t love eggs, bacon, and cheese? Creamy cheddar grits are topped with spinach that’s been sautéed with pancetta, and then topped with a perfectly poached egg.
