If you know me well, you know that my love for popcorn is vast and borderline obsessive. It all started when I was a child with our Sunday Popcorn Nights. Remember the Stir Crazy Popper? It was an alien-esque dome-shaped contraption that was half popper, half popcorn bowl and probably kind of unsafe since you…
Easy Thai Red Curry
You know, I heard about pregnancy cravings but never really understood how they can hit you so suddenly and with such fervor you literally cannot think another reasonable thought until you satisfy the craving. The craving, for me, manifests itself as a compulsive voice in my head: “MUST EAT ___” on repeat. Lately, that obsessive…
Orzo Salad With Asparagus, Feta, And Pistachios (+ Baby Shower & T Swift!)
\ Friends, rejoice! Summer–or at least summer-ish–weather has finally descended upon Michigan and it is good. In usual summer mode, I’ve been eating my weight in watermelon, strawberries, and fresh corn. Warren planted me a little garden for our anniversary this year and we have anxiously been watching it grow. Our watermelon has sprouted, as has the broccoli,…
Key Lime Pavlova
Oh, happy day! Warren and I are celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary with this gorgeous, tropical Key Lime Pavlova! Well, technically our anniversary isn’t until Friday, but I couldn’t wait to share this beaut with you all. Also, it is totally unbelievable to me that we have been married for five years. I can’t even remember what…
Pan Fried Goat Cheese And Strawberry Salad With Poppy Seed Dressing
Why, hello, lovelies! It feels so good to be back in this space after spending the last few weeks traveling, seeing so many dear loved ones, and eating my way through a few states (and Mexico)! I am so filled with inspiration–and also brimming with travel photos to share–but before I dive into all that goodness, I…
Pan Fried Steak With Chimichurri Sauce
Friends! I hope you had the loveliest long weekend, which was extra long for me since I took Friday off, too (huzzah). We did so much nursery-ing and I can’t wait to share some of our projects with you in a little bit. Many of said projects involved using my sewing machine, which is always a scary…
Carrot Cake Quick Bread With Cream Cheese Glaze
I can’t even tell you how much I’ve been craving carrot cake these past few weeks. I don’t know why I have fixated so much on this treat but I literally dream about it. So why haven’t I just made a carrot cake to feed the craving? I honestly have no idea. Besides the fact…
Ricotta Frittata
If meals were spirit animals, mine would be brunch. I am an equal opportunist when it comes to my favorite meal–be it sweet, savory, or both–and I’m also not opposed to Brunch-for-Lunch or Brinner. Pretty much, if there is a breakfast food in sight, I want to eat it, a la Ron Swanson. Which brings…
Chocolate Mocha Mug Cakes
You guys: Chocolate Mocha Mug Cakes!!! And yes, I was slow to jump on the microwave cake train because I just feel so strongly about cake (also because I am a reformed cake hater–I know, I lived a sad childhood) and my thought was that cakes should be baked, not nuked. Well, friends, I stand corrected. Because…
Skinny Texas Cheese Fries
Okay, raise your hand if you want to face plant into this gorgeous, cheesy, spicy skillet of Skinny Texas Cheese Fries!? This is quite possibly our favorite thing to make, ever. It satisfies both Warren’s crazy potato obsession and my salt tooth (give me french fries over cookies any day), and we forget that they aren’t fried because we…
