Happy June! We’re celebrating the very first mixtape I made back in the summer of 2015. Why? Because I said so. (mom sayings are applicable everywhere) I listen to this playlist from time to time because it’s just so much fun. It has summer livin’ and summer moods just oozing from it. It’s upbeat and […]
Homemade Wild Onion Oil
Chances are, you probably have wild onion in your yard. Like, onion grass. Wild onion. Green onion. Know what I mean, Vern? And if you don’t, you’re still a good person. You can get some wild onion (or even chives!) at the farmer’s market and rock on with your bad self. A) I haven’t said […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrewwwwwwwwderdeeeeeee! Hold on I’m listening to the new Snow on the Beach featuring more Lana Del Rey. One sec, one sec. . . . Okay that is GOOD. That is actually really really good. I loved the first version but the world was totally right – it needed more Lana. I’m not even a massive […]
Toasted Croissants with Strawberries and Mascarpone
How about a brunch idea?! Or a Saturday idea. Or a now idea? We’re honestly slicing, toasting, whisking, spreading, drizzling, and garnishing. That’s it. Isn’t it wonderful? And look, if you want to make the croissants yourself, that’s completely fine, ya overachiever. But it’s summer and I’m gonna breeze through these next three months the […]
Roasted Tilapia with a Cucumber, Capers and Red Onion Salad
I could eat like this all.the.time. You too? What a better gateway into summer break than a vibrant, crunchy cucumber and red onion salad over roasted tilapia. It’s light! It’s simple. It’s very pretty and festive and we’re serving it with toasted crusty bread, so go ahead and lose your mind. Let us peepeth. There […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrah! dah! duh! doh! The other evening I spent an embarrassing amount of time adding photos to all of my contacts in my phone. Have you done that? I feel like I used to have a bunch of photos in my contacts, but I really didn’t. So I went through my camera library and screen […]
Seared Chicken Tacos with Cabbage Slaw
Taco Thursday! (don’t argue) I’m always on a mission to make my tacos as close to Chipotle as I possibly can. Not that these are that, but we’re close. The chicken is VERA close. Because, as I always preach, buy thighs. Thighs are where it’s at. More flavor, a better shred, a better chop. Thighs […]
Blood Orange Rosemary Yogurt Cake
Look at me posting CAKE. What is this world? However, this one has Greek yogurt and rosemary and blood orange in it, so it’s more savory leaning. In a way. In my head. In our mouths. I’ve seen yogurt cakes hanging around my pinterest feed for a bit now, and I’m very into the idea […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr………. . . . . .. … ? This isn’t going to be a heavy post, I promise, but I cannot, simply cannot go today without mentioning Heather Armstrong and the gutted blogging community this week. What a tragedy. I remembering discovering Heather (and Ree at the same time!) waaaaay back around 2008 or 2009 […]
Sheet Pan Dinner with Chicken, Peppers and Potatoes
We haven’t sheet panned in a while! (<–it’s a thing.) You might be initially turned off at the way I pull this together, but I need you to trust it because I said so. (mom sayings can fit in other places too, ya know.) It’s all in one bowl. I’ll show you in a second, […]
