Hallelujah, it is Friday! Lately I’ve been juggling work, my beloved blog and a few projects that are near to my heart, but my fingers have been hitting all the wrong keys lately. I’ve caught myself sending choppy stream-of-consciousness emails that make sense to no one, including myself. Communicating with many, but saying nothing of [...]
Are you all aware that the Super Bowl is this weekend? I’m hardly a football fan, but I love the Super Bowl because it means I get to lounge around with friends, drink beer and stuff myself with salty crunchy things. I honestly don’t know who’s playing this year (my sports fan mom could tell [...]
My favorite term of endearment in French has always been mon petit chou chou, which literally translated means “my little cabbage cabbage”. The French use it to mean something like “my sweetheart,” and it may or may not actually refer to a pastry instead of cabbage. Regardless, the literal translation made me giggle when I [...]
I stayed up too late editing these photos last night and woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Self-doubt crept in overnight; I was suffering from a bad case of “not enoughs”. I felt like I was not pretty enough, not thin enough, not productive enough. Fortunately I have gained a [...]
All summer long, I admired other blog’s recipes for soup but broke into a sweat at the mere thought of sipping from a steaming bowl. Tomato and bell pepper soups taunted me most since they contain my very favorite flavors. It just didn’t seem fair that my favorite ingredients grew during the hottest season of [...]
Oklahoma weather never abides by the calendar and while it may be fall, the season for summer squash isn’t over yet. I’ve already decorated my apartment with miniature pumpkins in eager anticipation, but it’s 90 degrees outside and I’m going to eat zucchini and bell peppers while I still can! I couldn’t resist these cute [...]
These stuffed tomatoes are the brainchild of two recent dining experiences. While in Boulder, my friend Kirsten and I enjoyed tapas and happy hour at The Med (if you’re ever in Boulder, I insist that you do the same!). We ordered a smorgasbord of appetizers and went gaga over one in particular, which was just [...]
This summer, my A/C window units are failing miserably in their fight against the relentlessly hot weather and the heat produced by my kitchen appliances. Every time I turn on the stove, I sweat up a storm and curse the heat, but I’m not about to give up and go out to eat for every [...]
I begin this post with an urgent plea: you must try this. If you like savory sweet potatoes like I do, you’ll go mad for this easy baked sweet potato recipe. You’ll dream about it. I know, because I did. Due credit goes to my friend and neighbor, Matt, who improvised the sweet potato toppings. [...]
Chickpea salad has become a mainstay in my fridge over the past few weeks. It’s super easy to throw together, and makes a fresh, protein-packed side dish. I love this no-cook recipe because it calls for vibrant vegetables that are easy to come by any time of the year. Mix them all together and you’re [...]
Attention: these sweet potato fries will change your life. I’m serious! Salty-sweet, crunchy, and spicy if you wish, baked sweet potato fries are my favorite new snack. These fries beat their plain jane, fried Russet cousins in terms of simplicity and ease; they require fewer cooking steps because they’re baked rather than fried. In fact, [...]
