I’m answering your questions today! FYI, I loved answering these. Isn’t it fun to learn about each other? How do you take pictures in restaurants without annoying other diners? The tips we got this weekend about taking restaurant photos were simple: if you want better photos and less trouble, go during lunch time or between […]

I have so much to say about this weekend! First of all, food bloggers are great people.  Every person I met was a g-e-m.  I loved meeting other people who care about things like photo garnishes, the chickens living in my garage (sorry I haven’t told you about that yet!) and how to take pictures […]

Just wanted to post a little good morning shout out to my new friends from BlogHer Food! Yesterday was a whirlwind of information, food and new faces.  I really loved the sessions I chose (except for the SEO session, which almost made my head explode), and have had so much fun getting to know new […]

Ya’ll, things have gotten even crazier around her this week!  I’m a busy little beaver. I don’t know if I ever told you, but besides being a momma and a food blogger, I have another awesome gig as a Bradley birth instructor.  It’s one of my favorite things in the world to do, and yesterday, […]

Friends, we’re all lucky today that I found my way out of bed and stumbled over to the computer to write this post.  My house got hit with the stomach bug this weekend and it has been aw–ful.  Friday, I got it.  Saturday, I attempted to recover.  Sunday, baby got it, then husband got it.  […]

Did I tell you my thing about pies?  Here’s my thing. I didn’t used to like pies as a kid, but I do now.  I love to eat them, but I don’t really like to make them.  (I’m more of a cake baker, remember?)  I know pie dough is easy to pull together, but the […]

May is all supposed to be all about pies around here, my darlings.  I’m starting out with a bit of an unconventional pie post, though, just to keep things exciting for you.. with whoopie pies! Have you heard about whoopie pies?  They kind of had a moment in the foodie world recently, and it seemed […]

There is no recipe in this post. I hope you’ll read it anyway. On Wednesday of last week, my sweet grandmother of 93 years went to be with Jesus.  Her name was Ethel, and she was a gem of a woman.  She was so much of what all of us women long to be.. she […]

Happy May, ladies and gents! I want to start of the month with a little giveaway for you.. how does that sound? The lovely folks at Cooking Light have come out with a new cookbook called Way To Cook.  This cookbook isn’t just your typical pretty food photography and written recipes.  The book takes you […]

It’s been quite a month over here.  Lots of vegan and vegetarian recipes, some personal, vegan-related drama and some probably not veganize-able (what?) Nutella cookies.  I’m closing out all of this nonsense today with a recipe that can work for all diets; carnivores, vegetarians and vegans alike. I’ve made this recipe twice in the recent […]

I am a chewy chocolate chip cookie lover.  There is just something excellent about biting into a soft, gooey, melty cookie.  Sounds perfect already.. but add nutella, and I’ll eat the whole batch. I’ve been a little light on the posting lately.  That’s mostly because I got burnt out on all the vegan business.  It […]

Green drink! Are you in, loves? My last attempt at a green smoothie wasn’t exactly what I hoped for. So, I picked myself up and found some more green inspiration. Kale. Spinach. Pear. YUM. This smoothie looks very green, but you don’t actually taste any of the green stuff.  All I really tasted was the […]
