Welcome to the blog!
Happy tomato season!!! Is anyone else a total tomato snob? I feel like once you have a really great tomato from the farmer's market, you really can't go back to eating flavorless tomatoes. I also tend to get avocado happy at my house. My baby loves to eat them, and I make avocado toast all of the time.
Read MoreToday on The Hallmark Channel’s Home and Family show, I am making salmon sliders!! I added some salty bacon and fresh cucumber and peach salsa to make them really summery. These are great on the grill, or to make ahead for picnics.
Read MoreI am such a sucker for breakfast, and who doesn’t like breakfast potatoes!? I look for basically any reason to eat potatoes, I mean, why are they so good?
Read MoreThere are just some things in life that are really addicting! Potato chips, fries, cookies, chocolate…. and deviled eggs!! I feel like I can eat a million of these in one seating. I think the best deviled eggs I ever had were at a brunch in Houston, when my sister was living there.

Soup is one of my favorite things to eat! It’s warm and comforting, and everything I need in life. I make veggie soup all of the time! I find that it is a great way to use up veggies before they go bad.

Read MoreI’m pretty sure I didn’t even try hummus until I was in high school. I’m not sure if that ages me, but when I was growing up in Michigan, I don’t ever really remember seeing it around until I was older. Funny, because hummus is one of my son’s favorite things to eat EVER!
Read MoreI am a veggie addict! I know I post how much I love desserts, but my love for veggies is almost, almost, equivalent to my love for sweets. I eat veggies throughout the day, and with every meal. I think I love basically every vegetable out there…yup…can’t think of one I don’t like right now.
Read MoreSour cream has to be one of my favorite ingredients ever! It is creamy and rich, silky and tart, while still being slightly sweet. The acidity allows your baking to turn out tender and light when combined with baking powder or baking soda.
Read MoreNow, I don’t consider myself a cheap person, but I will say, when I am walking around the grocery store, there are certain things I just can’t justify buying.
Read MoreRecently, I have been in the cookbook writing process, and looking for inspiration. Since I love doing a new take on old family recipes, I was going through my Grandpa’s cookbook, and found a recipe for citrus salad.
Read MoreEntertaining is one of my favorite things to do, and with the gorgeous summer weather, we have been dining al fresco a lot! One of the biggest things when it comes to entertaining is feeding guests as soon as possible…
