A food-loving girl raised on pasta and tamales
Tuesday, or any other night of the week. 15 minutes are between you and tacos. I am at that point in the summer where I barely want to cook. If you’ve been following along on Instagram you might have seen that we’ve moved! Exactly one month ago we moved from Charlotte to Cleveland, and it…
Let’s talk mornings. What is your morning routine like? Do you have one established? Still figuring it out? This post was sponsored by Jord Watches. Thanks for helping me keep my mornings on track! Until about a year ago, I was the person who slept until the last. possible. second. My first year of grad…
I hate to waste produce. So when I found myself with a huge bag of carrot top greens after buying some organic carrots, I knew I needed to put them to good use. Enter carrot top pesto. Carrot top greens have an almost spicy-strong flavor and are delicious. Win win for the environment and your…

Last summer was the summer of Green Tahini in our house. I first discovered Green Tahini at Trader Joe’s when they started carrying it last summer. I often buy their Tahini sauce and when I saw a green herb-packed version I was intrigued. After taking it home, it was so good, I didn’t even share…

So when I heard that The Recipe Redux group was putting together small bite desserts for their 6th anniversary, I immediately new it was time to play around with some no-bake cookies. Mid-June and I’m well into my anti-oven season. Instead…
This year marks the fourth I’ve had some friends over for a dinner party! My love language is cooking for people and it’s such a pleasure to have people over to share in good wine, company, and of course, food. Despite our rather small living house, we have made it work for the past several…
Every time I cook fish at home I ask myself why I don’t cook more fish. It’s such a healthy protein and so quick and easy to put together for a hearty meal. I am an even bigger fan when the fish is fresh from the ocean and can serve as inspiration for a delicious…
When it comes to making appetizers I find that simple is better. I received free samples of Breton Crackers mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Breton Crackers and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time. If I’m hosting…
Tuna salad is something I never seem to get tired of eating. It’s my go-to when I can’t come up with anything to pack for lunch, or lately after an evening hot yoga class at Core Power yoga, when I’m too hot to turn on even the stove. I love that tuna salad is creamy,…
