Are you guys getting as excited about spring produce as I am?! Forget the fact that they are weirdly calling for freezing rain in North Carolina in the next couple of days. I have been crazy eager to buy all the asparagus and tender baby greens. I’m also hoarding strawberries and have a ridiculous amount …
Big St. Patrick’s Day Weekend! Last year Chad and I went with my sisters, brother-in-law, and a big group of friends to what is supposed to be the biggest bar crawl in the world. We had perfect weather and got started at like 11 in the morning. There were games of flip cup, lots of …
I have decided that St. Patrick’s Day might just be my favorite holiday to cook for. It’s a great excuse for all my boozy baked goods, everything is green, there are potato recipes in abundance, there is beer in all the stew, and it’s easy to find corned beef.
Sweet Creme Lemon cake is a great way to use up excess egg yolks! Coffee-mate creamer adds flavor and moisture for the perfect slice to accompany your coffee. Do you ever use a zillion egg whites for something and then wonder what to do with all those yolks? I hate wasting food… like I’ll be …
This week I am walking a line between the terrible horrible no good very bad weather and the need to eat healthy because I keep seeing swim suit ads ‘On Sale Now!’, and that freaks me out. I think I pulled it off though and I’m pretty excited about the meals I pulled together for …

I made the mistake of wandering the garden department at Lowe’s today. I was supposed to be buying something really mundane like trash bags, but instead spent 20 minutes thinking about planting flowers and eating fresh garden vegetables and wishing for summer produce. This probably has everything to do with the fact that two days …
This morning I learned an important lesson about boys. They are oblivious. I mean… I already kind of knew that, but now I really seriously know it and am determined to change it… although I suspect it may be part of their genetic code.
Heyyyyy! Is it still cold where you are? It was 24 degrees here this morning. If you are somewhere that’s actually cold you probably want to throw icicles at me for saying that, but if you are in the south with me then you know we should be rocking flip flops and pedicures with our …
Tangy. That is my favorite word of the day. I was so happy to type out the name of this recipe. I mean… it’s really the little things, you guys. So anyway. Tangy is the perfect way to describe dressing that is red-wine-vinegar-heavy. It is also the perfect way to describe my mood lately.
