Blogging about food (I really dislike the word blogging, not gonna lie) is a lot like any creative venture – sometimes I’m bursting with recipes and ideas and everything I make seems to turn out exactly as I’d hoped. Other times, though, my brain is as dry as the Sahara and everything I make...
I can tell you how long these burgers took to make because of the activities that preempted the burgers. Family park time was going swimmingly but our tummies were a’grumbling. I wanted to make these burgers but baby girl is a terror when she’s hungry (ahem, just like her father), and as we walked...
I would like to talk to you about nutrition/protein/fiber/breakfast “bars”. Bars are near and dear to my heart because they kept my husband alive during his single days before he married me. As I’m a big believer in “whole foods”, the ingredients list that read like an Old Testament genealogy was not okay with...

When blueberries are locally abundant and tasty (usually mid-summer) I find them too perfect to bake with and only eat them fresh. Since most recipes call for fresh berries, this puts me in the quandary of rarely (to never) making blueberry baked goods. It’s a sad quandary, really, since I heart blueberry baked goods. See...
Who doesn’t love Caprese salad? No one. And once again without the double negative, EVERYONE loves this amazing combo. And really, it’s beautifully healthy in that it’s a balanced mix of carbs, protein, and healthy fats. Don’t just make this as a summer side with burgers – I tupperwared this for several work lunches...
