It may feel freezing but the harvest isn’t quite over yet–pumpkin is still to be enjoyed! My favorite foods at Thanksgiving are almost everything BUT the turkey, but it’s mainly because I’m a ‘sides’ girl. I’ll take green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and stuffing (my mom makes an incredible sausage and onion version) over the […]
I bought a huge carton of strawberries on Sunday (on sale, hence the huge container) and subsequently panicked. Strawberries turn quickly and I knew that if I didn’t use them soon, they’d go to waste. As soon as a entered “strawberry” into Google, the genius that is autofill took over and the rest is history.

I’m a total carb addict and have yet to meet a bread or pasta I didn’t like. I had some zucchini in the fridge and was originally going to use it in a quick pasta but was craving bread in a big way. So instead, I whipped up some moist and delicious zucchini bread. It’s surprisingly […]

I went a little crazy at the grocery store this past weekend, which is what happens when you go right before dinner. I bought a ton of fruit, forgetting that I’d be going out of town this weekend and that Eric would be out of town for the first half of this week. I decided […]
it’s even better frozen Making a no-bake pie was the easiest thing I did all weekend. I wanted to bring a pie to dinner on Saturday night and I had these grand visions of showing up with a homemade blueberry pie, fresh out of the oven. As Saturday drew nearer and nearer, I realized that […]
I received a KitchenAid mixer for my bridal shower and had been anxious to put it to work. Suffice to say, it didn’t disappoint; it makes mixing so easy! I’ve never been a huge baking fan, but perhaps the tides will turn now that I have this helpful contraption on hand. All of the sudden […]
