I’m on a cumin kick right now. I used to think it was exclusively a White Chicken Chili seasoning {smashing recipe to come as the temperate drops}, and just didn’t realize how much I loved it until a friend suggested I toss some in my hummus. Woah nelly. I’m sold. I’m hooked. I’m slowly cumin to my senses. So starry-eyed… Read More
Brigadeiro {yum yum}
I was thinking about one of my younger sisters. I’ve got three words for you… easy. decadent. gorgeous. What more could you possibly want in life? I mean seriously. What was I saying? Oh, yes.

Hearty ‘Tater Soup
As you may recall, we have an awful lot of spuds around here. Two studs. Lots of spuds. So it’s only natural that a soup lovin’ girl throws them in a pot and makes comfort food from a bunch of ‘em, right? I thought so. Besides, anything with bacon is comfort food. Oh, and cream cheese. Cream cheese rocks my… Read More

Butternut Bliss {in a Bowl}
I’m slightly attached to October. And I must admit, I’m not quite ready to let her go. October spells Autumn in all her kaleidoscopic glory, marital celebration in all it’s annual bliss, jeans ‘n socks in all their hairy-leg-shrouding convenience, and…well, November is just too close to December. And to say I’m not ready for Christmas – despite my utter… Read More
The Glorious Morning of Muffins
Because I’m addicted to muffins I wanted you to really be able to visualize the magnificence that is the Morning Glory Muffin, I’m doing somewhat of a repeat post. Aren’t I so thoughtful? You don’t answer that. Really. I shared this {favorite} recipe in June, but for some unknown reason only had phone-camera photos to share with you, which fall… Read More

The air is crisp, the leaves are every shade of awesome, and the sun continues to warmly kiss our cheeks. Autumn glamour meets Indian Summer simplicity. I’m in!

Because You Can’t Live Without This
If you expected this to be a deeply spiritual post…I’m sorry to disappoint you. But I would like to fatten you up! Sort of. It’s about fudge. And it’ll rock your world. So I guess it is deeply spiritual in an unorthodox sort of way. At least that’s what it does to me. It makes me thankful to be alive. … Read More
Dip It
Why is Bug smiling? Because he has just experienced his very first peanut butter dipping bowl. And I think he liked it.

Pasta with Vodka-Cream Sauce
Goodness gracious me. I’m in love. With a sauce. That just happens to have an awful lot of vodka and heavy whipping cream in it. Scandalous, I know. Get over it. It’s that good. I made this for my sweet {non-meat-eating} sister last week when she came over to hang out with me {and ended up helping me dig up… Read More
Going Tropical One Last Time
As the warm days of summer begin to fade and the chilly Autumn breeze stirs up thoughts of hot cider and pumpkin pie…I’m in denial over here in my deck chair, thinking happy thoughts of Key Lime Pie and Pina Colada Fruit Dip. *Notice I said “thinking”…not “eating”. Both were fixed for our birthday bash in August – before my… Read More
