You’ve been craving lettuce wraps lately, haven’t you? I knew it! But not anything boring, noooo. You want something with a lot of crunch, a hint of sweet, a bit of zing and a kiss of tang. And then we should talk about these lettuce wraps. (BA DOMP.) I’ve been dying to show you these […]
Mediterranean Stuffed Squash
Would you believe I spelled Mediterranean right on the first try? Seriously. No squiggly lines, no buzzing alarms, no firetrucks, no handcuffs.

Hiya! Actually, I don’t know what I think about saying “hiya.” It didn’t really feel like me. And it’s not like I even needed to open with saying hi or hiya or hello or what up or hey dude or grüezi or whatever. I guess it’s because I’m in Arkansas right now, at a different […]
Summer Garden Vegetable Pie
Is your computer screen’s brightness turned all the way up? Check real quick. No? Okay turn it up. I’ll wait. I MEAN JUST LOOK. Sometimes when I’m editing on the sofa I won’t have my laptop plugged in and I’ll edit all these photos and think, eeeeh. And then I remember that since it’s not […]
