The Great Vegetarian Challenge: Day 3 Wow, gone are the days when we wore bonnets and walked giddily about a room with girlfriends discussing that we are in fact walking around said room because it’s refreshing. Gone are the days when we referred to a 27 year old man as “Mr.” So and So. Gone […]

Linguine with Sardines. Don’t Gross Out.
I finally did it. After two weeks of teetering on ideas, I finally opened up the can of sardines, took a nervous peek and decided what to do with them. You guys, those suckers are not cute. After many suggestions and google imaging, I thought about preparing them on sort of bruschetta, all fancy-like in […]
Heavenly Stuffed Shells Stuffed With Heaven
Mama. Mia. Mother of the babies that drink the morning dew. If there is one thing truly meant for you to do in this life and on this planet, it is to take an afternoon and make stuffed jumbo shells. STUFFED JUMBO SHELLS. Wonderfully large pasta shells filled to the rim with fluffy ricotta, velvety […]

I Feel […]

Capers, butter and velvety spinach won by a landslide in the accents department. If the staunch policy of this succulent dish is to promise […]
Quick and Divine
Our family is almost here, Aaron is inflating the blow up mattress and my house is spotless. Zen, people. Plus, dinner was ready before I could type “our family is almost here, Aaron is inflating the blow up mattress and my house is spotless.” I ain’t even kiddin’ y’all. Simple Garlicky Shells: What it took […]
Are You Kidding?
Our summer garden produced an obnoxious amount of produce today. While I was tactfully telling the garden that Halloween was next weekend, Aaron was tactfully telling me to chill and enjoy the free food. Men. When I say obnoxious I’m talking about a zucchini the size of a canoe, enough scotch bonnet peppers for 87 […]

This blog will be a place where I share recipes, photos of food, gardening ideas, little projects around the house and most likely countless stories about my dog Charlie. It’s funny, I totally knew what I was […]
