Is anyone else over winter? I’m so done with cold weather. Overnight it dumped more snow here. Thankfully, it’s a snow day. So we will indulge in some cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate. Which I think I deserve after shoveling 4 inches of snow off my driveway. A big pot of warm soup sounds great …
True story: Ever since the Disney Movie, Ratatouille, I’ve been mildly obsessed with making ratatouille. In the movie, it looked SOOO good. Which is funny, because I haven’t been a historically big fan of zucchini and other summer squashes. I’m coming around as an adult, but it’s still got to be GOOD. This sheet pan …
It is African Heritage Week and Black History Month. What a great time to learn about other heritages and cultures through food. This week, I’ll be highlighting some dishes inspired by African flavors and seasonings. I hope you enjoy them! Today, it seems to be a fairly straightforward tomato and chicken stew, but then you …
The Super Bowl is this Sunday! I’m not a particularly huge football fan, but I do enjoy watching games with my husband. I also like all the food that goes along with watching the Super Bowl. It’s a fun time to make a spread of yummy snacks and spend time together. Chicken wings are a …

Spring is here! Fall is my favorite season, but spring has to be a close runner up. It’s so great to have the sun out more, a little warmer weather, and feel like everything is coming alive again. I have definitely spent more of my waking hours today outdoors than in, and I love it. …
I love making big spreads of Mexican food. Much of it is easy to prepare and not incredibly time consuming. Mexican food is also a crowd pleaser – people can choose their own toppings to make everything customized. And let’s be honest, it’s delicious. A friend told me recently about oven baking her fajita mix. …
So this makes the third recipe in a row that requires a pressure cooker. But I feel like almost everyone has an Instant Pot at this point (or is getting one for Christmas). I actually don’t, but I do own a stove top pressure cooker. The awesome part of pressure cookers is how quickly things …
