Pretzel Bites with Quick Cheese Dip
Salt. Cheese. Bread. Oh hello Julie Andrews, yes, these are a few of my favorite things. I want to swan dive into this bowl. That is a rarity for me too. I don’t indulge in these types of foods all that often, but if you know me well, you know my devotion to pretzel runs…

Thanksgiving Sheaf Bread
i’m a lot of things, but today, timely isn’t one of them. let’s chat about thanksgiving – a recap of sorts. well, i ate, drank, slept a little, and then opened more wine. my mom and i cooked up a storm so my sister opened champagne because my mom and i tend to cook differently…
Autumn Kale Salad with Apples
well hey there November, didn’t you just come in like a bloody wrecking ball? whether you’re an indians fan or a cubs fan, a democrat or a republican – it’s been a head-spinning. roller coaster of a fall in my little world. sometimes you need to take life by the teaspoon. i don’t know what…
