Superfood casserole might seem like an oxymoron to you. When you think of casseroles, you probably don’t think of superfoods, and vice versa. Well, let me just tell you how this recipe came about and then maybe it’ll make more sense. As you may know, we have a one-year old son, Wes (14 months, to be exact). He […]
I am so excited to share this recipe with you I don’t even know where to start! There are so many things I love about this dessert. I’ll start with the obvious, it is delicious! I recently made it for some family members we were having over for lunch, and everyone raved about it! Second, it is […]
It’s grilling season! I love cooking out when the weather is nice…well I love preparing food and having Tim grill it. 😉 We grilled out the other day and I was trying to decide what to cook with our burgers. Sometimes I feel like I get in a side dish rut. As much as I […]
I’m ashamed of myself. April is National Grilled Cheese month, surely cause for celebration for anyone who calls herself a cheese lover like me, and yet here it is April 27th and I’ve posted exactly zero recipes about grilled cheese. The first year I was blogging, I found out about National Grilled Cheese month too late, at the […]

Now that I’m a mom, I am always looking for recipes that are super quick and easy. I still love to cook, and I still like to try recipes that are more involved, but I just have no desire to spend a lot of time in the kitchen when I could be playing with Wes. […]
I love avocados and I love hummus, so when I came across a pin on Pinterest for Avocado Hummus, I was excited! (Food nerd alert: Yes, I get excited about recipes I see online. And the other day, I found myself in the grocery store exclaiming aloud, “Finally! Tomato paste in a tube!” So yeah, […]
My love for beets is only recently discovered. There are a lot of foods that I never knew I liked until I was a grown adult in my mid-twenties. Beets are one of those foods that I had previously turned my nose up to, oblivious to how delicious they really are. I guess had really […]
What can I say about butternut squash? It’s delicious, good for you, inexpensive, and incredibly difficult to cut. I did not discover how much I liked butternut squash until about 4 or 5 years ago. I had no idea what I was missing! Now, every fall I look forward to loading up on them at […]
