VEGGIE CHIPS. That was me trying to get you excited about non potato chips, chips. There are two types of people in the world: those who put their carts away at the grocery store and those who don’t. those who make their beds in the morning and those who don’t. those people that crave salt…

Melon Arugula Salad with Pecans
Sometimes you just need some bright and beautiful. It’s august. Where has the time gone? I find myself clinging to summer like it’s that last day of vacation and the sun is falling down on the horizon but if you stand there and stare at it, maybe it’ll last just one moment longer. Don’t come…
Roasted Mediterranean Cauliflower
Well let’s get on with it, shall we darling? (read this for a vague post about why i’ve been away) I can’t imagine a dish better suited to be my comeback kid than this one.

Spring Vegetable Flatbread
i’m about to burst your bubble. i know you’re all here under the pretense that i’m cool, so i’m going to let you in on a little secret. do you know what will keep me on the treadmill for miles after i should’ve stopped? not a hot dude, that won’t even make me gallop like…
Jalapeno Deviled Eggs with Smoked Paprika
riddle me this one. it’s midtwenties in Chicago this morning, yet allergies are up my nose, out my eyes and making me feel like I’m flying over the cuckoos nest. touché, pollen. the upside is i’m more than #blessed by my coworkers 13 times a day when i sneeze. i was away on business the…
