I cook because I can't afford a therapist
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…
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. I’ve been pretty veggie-loving recently. I find them so flavorful – those colorful roasted carrots or grilled zucchini – cauliflower…
hi guys. I’ve been sitting here, trying to figure out what to say. I’ve been away for the last couple of months, I know. My heart just hasn’t been here – it hasn’t been in a place where I feel like I’ve been a good enough me, the best me. The sassy me that started this little place….

1. international women’s day. to all you strong, fierce, warriors. 2. to the women who are brave and sharing their stories about things like this one about postpartum depression. 3. this dog. he brings a whole new meaning to how far people will go for love, for a home. 4. badass female chefs who prevail…
One of the worst things that could have ever happened to me happened to me. (if you think i’m serious, i don’t know if this is going to work out between us…). You know how life comes down to timing and luck? (for those who lack talent and strategic planning skills) – well apparently timing…
