BUILDING OUR REZ

Intimidated by furniture making? I was too, friend. I thought it required a whole lotta fancy dove tailing, planing, jointing, maybe a little biscuit or domino joinery, extensive routing, your grandpa’s hand tools, all of your time margin, and the lingering stale scent of patchouli …

This enchilada sauce… Can we talk about it for a minute? It’s completely vegan, paleo, gluten-free and dairy-free [insert other dietary need here]. And it’s totally my new favorite.

If you’re like me, then you probably want to throw eggs at nutrition media. They’re egging you on – the back & forth, healthy today unhealthy tomorrow, food recommendation roller coaster can be frustrating and discouraging. What the heck am I supposed to eat?? How …

I’ve been on a big fig kick lately. I’ve been combining fig with everything I can think of. I’m talking on grilled cheese, on pizza, glazing this bacon wrapped chicken. It’s all seriously drool-worthy.

Do NOT do what I did. Hand-me-down cordless drill. Zero “how-to” tutorials or mentorship.

What does your table stand for? Is it only functional, or does it serve a deeper purpose?

Amazon Prime friends! You know you’re in the digital age when:

I love a good, quick weeknight dinner. We’re talking a “just ran in the door from work or errand-running and my kid is screaming for food and it’s 6pm and I have nothing planned for dinner” kind of quick dinner. But being a culinary diva …

Do you think you don’t like tofu? I thought that for a long time too. It doesn’t really have much of a flavor in its natural state. It has kind of a squishy, egg-like texture. No thanks. Then I had crispy tofu. And my life …
