Farewell, summer. I have mixed feelings about it. Mostly I’m excited for fall and coziness and pumpkin things, crisp, cool evenings and mornings, and you don’t die of heat stroke every time you try to have a fire pit to roast s’mores. But, won’t you …

The sunrise is now peaking over the horizon, and you’re staring groggily into your opened refrigerator until all of the cold, misty air has escaped. Fridgina, as you affectionately call her, now beeps at you for your negligence, and you beep back to oh so …

Have you ever seen anything so cute? I mean for real, these little guys are so tiny and adorable. They are perfect for a party, baby or bridal shower or having friends over for dessert. Little individual 3-bite pies are perfect because everyone can try …

All of your delectable delicacies use the same glorious, imported bean. Your cakes, custards, cookies, homemade ice cream, frosting, brownies, quick breads, puddings, french toast, waffles and many of your cocktails wouldn’t taste as delicious and balanced without it. But why must vanilla extract be …

What’s THE hottest nutrition plan in the medical community right now aside from DASH or Mediterranean? The plant-based diet. Definitely the most controversial next to Keto. Are potato chips and french fries plant-based? Absolutely. But we’re talking about a “whole foods” version. Not the crunchy …

You know when you get a hankering for ramen? Like good, super flavorful, salty, spicy, major umami ramen? And you know what a buzzkill it is to crave that ramen if you aren’t eating noodles? You might have a bright idea to make said ramen …

There is little that is more southern than pimento cheese. I mean, what even are pimentos? (They’re small, sweet, mild little red peppers. And they are really FREAKING good mixed with cheese.)

Grocery list in hand, get-in-get-out / “just stick to what’s on the list” as the goal (never happens), wielding your metal chariot, you sweep the back of the store until you reach the chicken egg section. So many freaking options.

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.
