Long time no chat! Things have been a little hectic around these parts, mainly with the amount of traveling we’ve been doing. We always take a trip around Thanksgiving (this year a cruise to St Thomas and St Maarten!), but this year it was extra long and coming right after some remodeling and a job change, so all of my motivation has been funneled into other things. I’ll get back into the swing of things a little bit, even if…
Read moreBy posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by siggi’s yogurt and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time. I received free product for the purposes of recipe development. This is oddly embarrassing, but I have no idea when I’m supposed to drink eggnog. Is it a Thanksgiving thing? Christmas thing?

Because we have a catch-and-release policy for spiders — the spiders don’t know they’re trespassing, right? — Josh just spent a solid 15 minutes trying to wrangle it into a cup.

With a shift in focus at work combined with some home renovations that have left me sleeping in the living room, I’ve just had a lot on my mind and, honestly, not much homemade food on my plate unless it took a whopping 5 minutes to pull together and dirtied basically no…
Read moreJosh and I eat a ridiculous amount of Ranch dressing. Like, a scary amount. Almost as much Ranch as barbeque sauce, but let’s get real, I’d basically have to drink the stuff to consume more Ranch than barbeque sauce. Our brand of choice isn’t exactly the healthiest choice, but it just tastes so good. None of the healthier brands or traditional recipes really quite match what we crave in a Ranch. Apparently there’s just…
Read moreThe first day of autumn isn’t for a few weeks, but if Starbucks is selling their pumpkin spice lattes, than I declare it to be fall. Also, the enormous pile of apples in my kitchen declares it to be fall. The last few years I’ve been just swimming in apples from my parents’ trees and a girl can only make/eat so much applesauce, regardless of how delicious hot, fresh apple sauce tastes. My favorite (only) local vegan restaurant…
