A few years ago, I had a conversation with a friend wherein slimy okra was the subject matter. Have you ever sautéed okra? Nine times out of ten it gets all Slimer circa Ghostbusters and while the taste isn’t affected, it’s a little tough to get down. This is one of the main reasons I…
I’m as jet lagged as I’ve ever been and while I absolutely want to give you a rundown on my food bonanza of a vacation to Thailand, that, unfortunately, will have to be another week. Today I’m going to give you an amazing sweet potato recipe that I made a few weeks ago. I thought up…
When your plan is to make cauliflower rice and you fail…you get my recipe for this week. So here it is. I loathe cutting up cauliflower and broccoli. It’s always such a mess. To then turn cauliflower into “rice”, which requires a food processor, which ends up being a huge mess, is really a nightmare…
It’s been a really long time since I blogged a company that I’m interested in rather than my own cooking. Usually I blog for the Local Food Festival in Boston and get connected with great food businesses that I can get behind. But A couple weekends ago, while perusing the indoor farmers’ market, I ran…
In the last few months I have done some pretty regularly creative cooking. Fortunately or unfortunately that means I haven’t been able to post the homemade BBQ sauce that I’ve been advertising on Instagram!

My whole life I’ve been a mayonnaise eater. My dad is too, so I guess it’s in my DNA. I basically put it on everything. And for all those non-mayo eaters out there, ask yourself this. Do you eat aioli? Yeah? Well, if ya do, you’re my husband. And you’re also being tricked into believing…
It seems like life has really taken me away from my blog! I apologize to those of you that look forward to reading. But for now, I’m back for at least another one more! As some of you may know, I just to back from South Africa! What an amazing trip it was! Not only…
I am not a salad eater. I really just don’t super love salads and especially not as a main meal. Don’t get me wrong, I eat one for lunch between 3 and 4 days a week. But I really just do it because it’s a quick thing to pack up and take to work and…
It has taken me a loooong time to get comfortable in my new kitchen. But as I sit here listening to music and waiting for my squash to finish and grill to heat up, I can say my heart is back in it and I am feeeeeling the joy of cooking that I grew up…
In the great state of Kentucky, it is the middle of March Sadness. Well, in most people’s houses, but not so much in my dad’s house. In my dad’s house, Tom Izzo may take my father’s beloved Spartans to a national championship. I grew up in a divided home. My dad is a Michigan State…
