What day is it?! That above is my new obsession. It’s sooooo easy and absolutely delicious! All you have to do is toast some bread, slice up an avocado, squeeze a little lemon juice on top and add some salt and pepper, fry up an egg, and throw it all together. Chris and I have […]

Southern Style Green Beans
My love for green beans started with my grandma, one of the most amazing cooks I’ve ever known. My grandparents on my mom’s side canned green beans every year and we enjoyed them throughout the year at various family meals. I always looked forward to the side of green beans and relished each and every […]
Black Bean Quinoa Chili
Quinoa and black beans are two of my favorite ingredients. I came across a recipe on Pinterest that combined both and I knew I had to try it. I love chili, especially on a cold day, so I made sure I had all the ingredients for this black bean quinoa chili (I did) and threw […]
Annual Corn Freezing
One of my favorite family traditions happens every summer around the end of August/beginning of September. It began long before I was born, but my family has husked and frozen 20-30+ dozen ears of sweet corn annually. We used to do it with my dad’s family but over the last decade or so we have […]
Easy Scrambled Eggs
So scrambled eggs were probably the first food item I learned how to make. It’s simple enough. You crack some eggs, whisk them together, and scramble them in a hot pan for a few minutes. Serve them with toast or biscuits and you’re golden. I was watching some Gordon Ramsay on BBC one day and […]
Grilled Herb Shrimp
Last night I decided I wanted to try something new for dinner that wasn’t too much work. I have been wanting to try grilling seafood instead of the typical steak or hot dogs. I could not for the life of me find frozen salmon filets at the grocery so I just went ahead and grabbed […]
Cinco de Mayo
This Cinco de Mayo is much cooler than those past. Though the high is only in the 50s, it’s a beautiful sunny day with blue skies. I’ve been combatting a migraine over the last three days so forgive me that this post isn’t as full as I had hoped. Cinco de Mayo is the perfect […]
Easy Guacamole
A few years ago I discovered the wonderfullness that is guacamole. I didn’t have much exposure to it growing up and typically avoided it because it’s green color and chunky texture. I decided to give it a try at a family gathering on Easter one year and immediately fell in love. I order it every […]
Roasted Garlic and Parmesan Asparagus
If you’re looking for a side dish that’s a bit more sophisticated than green beans, check out asparagus. I’m not usually a fan but this simple roasted garlic and parmesan asparagus recipe began my conversion. They were super easy to prepare and I think this recipe is a great way for the asparagus novice because […]
Turkey Meatloaf
Now, I’m not a huge fan of meatloaf but Chris loves it. I came across this turkey meatloaf recipe while watching a TV show and thought it was worth a try. I’m a huge fan of vegetables so any recipe that mixes them in in unexpected places will win me over. I’ve never made anything […]
