There's just something about sweet potatoes. I'm guessing it's the carby one-two punch. First, you get a potato. Second, you inject it with sugar. How could anything go wrong?! I've been going to town on some sweet potatoes lately. Tomorrow is our work Thanksgiving potluck, and guess what I'm bringing? Yep: sweet potatoes. My favorite… Continue reading Roasted Sweet Potato Salad

Chopped Harvest Salad
It's the Christmas season, y'all! And no, I didn't forget about Thanksgiving. I like to celebrate Christmas for as long as humanly possible---and as long as the public will let me. Celebrating before November is typically frowned upon. When the clock strikes midnight on November 1st, all bets are off. I've had my holidy Spotify… Continue reading Chopped Harvest Salad

There's a lot of foods out there that have fallen out of favor with this generation. It's not just a millennial problem, either. Gen Xers just don't cook like boomers did.

My best friend drove up from Austin, and another bestie from… Continue reading Farmers Market Stew

So, I filled out the application, inserted a link to our wedding website, and a few weeks later---this… Continue reading Garden Zucchini & Sweet Corn Casserole
Pumpkin Pie Cake
It's Christmas Eve, and I'm sitting here sipping on some eggnog and listening to Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker by the London Symphony Orchestra on our brand new soundbar---underneath the glow of the white Christmas lights. One could say I adore Christmas, no? It's my favorite holiday, one that I celebrate for almost the entire month of November… Continue reading Pumpkin Pie Cake
Sour Cream Peach Pie
I made a pie the other day. I had forgotten how much I love pie. All pies. Fruit pies, cream pies, pot pies. I'm convinced pies were singlehandedly created from the Gods themselves for our sheer enjoyment. Any pie is welcome in my life, you know. I stumbled upon this recipe and adjusted it a bit to… Continue reading Sour Cream Peach Pie
