I have spent most of 2015 battling a wicked head cold that is finally–finally–working its way out of my system. It’s amazing just how little I can bring myself to do in this congested state, besides watch Friends and Reign on Netflix. Food-wise, Warren and I have pretty much become scavengers, eating old granola bars for breakfast and kitchen…

Easy Thai Green Curry
Thai food is my everything. Unfortunately, T.H.A.I in Shirlington in Arlington, Virginia kind of ruined me. It is, hands down, my favorite Thai food ever (until we actually eat Thai food in Thailand–and I’m still not convinced that would change my mind). Warren and I dream of its panang curry (and, yes, my mouth literally started drooling…

Pumpkin Streusel Bread With Maple Glaze
Pumpkin bread was one of the first things I learned how to make well. I used my sister’s recipe, which called for one bowl and a lot of chocolate chips. That pumpkin bread won me friends in all the various stages of my life and is still one of my favorite things to make each…

Slow Cooker Sweet & Spicy Shredded Beef Tacos
I dream in tacos–perfectly sweet and spicy Shredded Beef Tacos, to be exact. My taco love is deep and abiding. For me, tacos mean family. Friends. Long summer nights laughing on a picnic blanket. So when a taco craving hits, it hits hard. Our go-to taco recipe is our favorite Slow Cooker Carnitas. It is everything good in…

But since it is March in Michigan, this gorgeous, vibrant Thai Chicken Satay Noodle Salad will have to do. Plus, it totally has me…
