I am on such a pickle kick. Mostly due to our friends being WAY into pickling, which we get to reap the benefits from. Yay, us! I am also on a cookbook kick. This is because I bought a new hutch to house my cookbooks, and wouldn’t you […]
I rarely post side dishes because I’m usually bee-lining it to the big TA-DA of the meal (i.e. the meatloaf, the steak, the taco, etc). But when I made this zippy carrot salad to accompany the chicken shawarma pitas we grilled up recently – I was INTO IT. […]
Happy fall everybody! I’ve got my warm apple pie candle going, we’re watching a scary movie and I’m about to make an apple tart from my apple picking adventure yesterday, so I’d say I’m autumn-ing it up pretty hardcore right about now. I’m even whipping up a new […]
Hiiiieeeeeee everybody! Are we ready for fall?! I AM! It finally got a little chilly today in Chicago and it’s totally gloomy and I’m loving every minute of it. I even already have a date planned with my gal Katrina from Baking with Soul to come over to […]
Oooooooh BABY this is one dang good pasta salad if I do say so myself. 😀 This recipe was really born from my herb garden sort of exploding – especially the mint. And while I enjoy a good mojito every now and again, there was no way I […]

Well it’s a gorgeous day out in Chicago today, but I’m laid up on the couch as I tried to lift a bunch of dirt (don’t ask) and pulled out my darn back…again. UGH! I hobbled on in back to the house hanging on Dave’s arm and after […]
One of my favorite parts of running this blog is putting up guest posts by some of my favorite people. Dana J. Ardell holds the role of my best buddy but happens to live on the other side of the globe. Remember her from the send off with […]
I typically don’t love experimentation on Thanksgiving (it’s all about yummy traditions, isn’t it?!) so I didn’t stray too far from my typical menu this year. However, I was able to try out some easy variations to my normal turkey day routine that I (and Sir Dave) ended […]
This is a dish I whipped up to take to my Aunt Kathy’s for Christmas, as a side to her legendary brisket. Despite being super easy to make and having pretty simple ingredients, this recipe packs in a ton of flavor and I’m already craving it again, which […]
