As a continuation of the belated Thanksgiving posts, I wanted to share a pretty simple recipe for acorn squash that isn’t smothered in butter. Squashes were on sale for pennies at Sprouts a couple months ago and I had read that acorn squash tastes a lot …
When you get engaged, one of the most common questions people ask you is “were you surprised?”. I know I ask that question a lot, and I definitely got a lot of that when Kevin and I got engaged last summer (yes – it’s official!). …
November was a really weird month. I turned 30. My grandma passed away, and the next day, I went to a funeral for another relative and then rushed over to a funeral home to help plan my grandmother’s funeral and pick out her casket – …
Who’s hungry? We invited Alex and Lingie over to celebrate Alex’s birthday (umm…back in February), and made a fun dinner. I found a great recipe for Garlic Brown Sugar Flank Steak with a fresh Chimichurri sauce on How Sweet Eats and loved it. Here’s their recipe: …

Another backlogged holiday season post! For Thanksgiving dinner (yes…Thanksgiving) with my mom’s side of the family, I needed to come up with something a bit different to contribute for dessert. It had been a while since the last time I’d made anything with cheesecake, so …
My favorite stuffing recipe that I used to make nearly every holiday season is my own take on Whole Foods’ Southern-Style Chicken Sausage and Buttermilk Cornbread Stuffing recipe. I hadn’t brought this to a potluck in a few years as I’d been more focused on dessert, …
