1 week until Thanksgiving and what’s a Thanksgiving without cornbread?! Instead of risking a dry uninspired dish or drenching your bread in honey hoping to mask the dryness try making my Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread Muffins. The sharp cheddar cheese gives these muffins a bite while the jalapenos create a pleasant boost. Want the secret to […]

Something to sweeten the deal…
There’s a great debate on our hands people, you’re either one way or another. You either drench your Thanksgiving plate in gravy or cranberry sauce. Take a stand. 🙂 Myself, I choose to be on the cranberry sauce side which is actually surprising to me because I often choose salty over sweet. I think the reason […]
Parsley, Sage, (no Rosemary), and Thyme…
T-9 days until Thanksgiving! Yay! Why not celebrate with a tasty “sure-to-be-on-everyone’s-table” recipe? A side dish with an identity complex, one of those “soda vs. pop” items: sourdough stuffing bursting with apples, caramelized onions, parsley, sage, (no rosemary), and thyme. I don’t know about you, but for me I think stuffing is the one item […]
Tis the season…
It’s here, it’s here, it’s finally here! OCTOBER is here, everyone! This is the start of my favorite season. A season where the heat finally burns off, pop-up pumpkin patches are a plenty, boots/scarves/and jackets start to make their way to the front of the closet, and the joyous hopeful attitudes that come with the […]
Trick or Treat…
Yay! It’s Halloween weekend! I love this holiday, it’s filled with silliness, creativity, and treats! I love the buzz of energy everyone has surrounding this holiday, people are excited and aren’t drained yet (mentally, physically, or monetarily) from the holiday season. I feel bad for Valentine’s day, it really got the “short straw”, by that time […]
Good to the last bite…
Sandwiches are an easy meal, perfect for lunch or a much-needed quick dinner. Though the good ol’ peanut butter and jelly sandwich is delicious it’s probably not something you want to make for guests over the age of 10. For a quick and impressive meal that will fill you up try my Grilled Turkey Pesto Sandwich with […]
All in one dish…
Paella is a traditional spanish dish that is absolutely delicious! This warm spiced dish will fragrant your home and fill your belly too! Sadly, I usually don’t eat paella when I’m out because it most often has pork in it :(, but my version is made with chicken and shrimp so no fear fellow poultry/seafood only […]
Like Christmas morning…
It’s finally October, my favorite month! I woke up with extra pep in my step on Saturday because I finally got to put out my Fall decorations. Now there are no Griswald comparisons that can be made with my house, but I do love decorating the mantle, tables, and my front door with leaf garlands, […]
Melted goodness…
I love cheese and will devour it in any form it is presented to me: fried cheese, melted cheese, grilled cheese, baked cheese, cheese crumbles…(please excuse my Forrest Gump Bubba moment.) To me cheese is like dairy gold, by far the best dairy product, even better than ice cream. It can be enjoyed with every […]
Only a little bit…
It seems like everyday I am faced with an important decision: to eat the cupcake/pie/brownie/(insert yummy dessert name here) or not to. Most of the time I spend an unessecary amount of time staring down the offending sweet in hopes my desire will be satisifed by a simple look which is then followed by intense mental negotiating regarding the […]
