Miso Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Wow! It has been a minute since I posted anything on the blog!! I think May was my last post. I really can't believe it's been that long because the time has flown by over here. This was an intentional break. Back in May, hubby and I decided to get in touch with our realtor [...]

Kale Summer Salad

Kale Summer Salad

I have a confession...I love having friends and family over, hosting dinner parties & BBQs and cooking for lots of people. Problem...I'm not actually very good at it! I mean, the food is great and I'd like to think we create a fun environment but every single time, I spend a lot of the time [...]

Cornbread Stuffing

Cornbread Stuffing

Recipe #1 for a Thanksgiving feast! I have to admit, I've only cooked big holiday meals a handful of times, so I'm certainly no expert but I do know that I'm a perfectionist, a bit controlling (do not comment, mom or husband!) and I don't like surprises in the kitchen when I'm entertaining.
