Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
The times are changing. Although it's still 90 degrees here in Oklahoma, fall is right behind that warm southernly breeze. My fall decor has already made its appearance. The pumpkin spice candles are burning. I'm digging jackets out of my closet. I'm eating hotter foods and thinking about soups, y'all. Soups. Summer will be out… Continue reading Roasted Broccoli Salad
I love that my local grocery store has a little fresh olive bar in the produce section. I bought a handful of super green olives yesterday, and they may be the best I've ever had. They've also got roasted garlic cloves, marinated mushrooms (personal fave), and sometimes dolmas. I'm now slightly obsessed with that olive… Continue reading Green Bean Salad with Hearts of Palm

One of… Continue reading Leen’s Favorite Roasted Cauliflower

I've always just settled for the jarred stuff at the grocery store, not realizing how easy, and probably better for you, it would be to just make it myself. No preservatives, no weird ingredients you can't pronounce, and a good… Continue reading Roasted Vegetable & Pesto Quinoa
Potatoes are in my blood. Like, running constantly. My body is fueled by the starchy tuber. I live for the flaky white stuff. I'd die for my right to eat a potato. I know they're not the most healthy thing for you ever, but when presented with the option of either eating a potato or… Continue reading Nicoise Potato Salad
The thing about eating better, cleaner, and healthier, is you have to have an abundance of good snacks at all times. The last thing you want to do is go hours on end without food, and then binge eat everything in your fridge at once. I've always had a problem with that, but I've been… Continue reading Dill Pickle Zucchini Chips
