Remember that time we made an amazing herb condiment packed with basil, cilantro, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil and then folded it into pasta? OH WAIT. That happened today ????. And holy delicious, it was a big bowl of wow-it's-hot-outside-so-let's-make-easy-food-with-bright-flavors-and-be-happy-forever. You pickin' up what I'm puttin' down? Good. So...those herbs. That ...
My 4th of July Fail
I mean...what happened. Oh, that's right, my baking skills are that of a six week old infant. Keep any dessert materials away from me, because I will - WILL - ruin it. I decided that, hey, I am going to make a 4th of July themed dessert, and brownie truffles are a foolproof recipe! Especially if I used boxed brownie mix! I am going back in time and laughing in my own face. Silly Annie. The ...
Cajun Style Shrimp and Grits – Lightened Up
If you grew up in/have ever lived in/have ever visited the South, you know that shrimp and grits are just one of those thangs. Everyone knows what it is, everyone has had it, everyone loooooves it (if you don't...come live with me and let me feed you various shrimp and grits recipes until you do), and many people have their own favorite version. The best shrimp and grits I ever had while living in ...

Flavor Bomb Pork Chops with Mango Salsa
Do you ever think that a specific place, area, or season tastes like something? Hold...let me give you a few examples before you think I'm cray cray. To me, fall tastes like Pumpkin Spice Lattes. The beach tastes like crab dipped in butter sauce. Christmas tastes like hot chocolate. My home in North Carolina tastes like Chicken Pot Pie and Baked Potato Soup. The school where I teach tastes like ...
A Letter to Wives with Deployed Husbands
About half way through Seth and I's deployment, I came across a blog post written by an Army wife titled "Why You Will Rock This Deployment" or something similar. And it was absolutely amazing. As a military wife, it is so awesome to meet or connect with someone who is going through the exact same thing as you because, let's face it, we are living an extremely unique lifestyle that no one really ...
Vegan Chili Stewed Chickpeas
So basically these last few weeks have been a hey-my-husband-is-finally-home-from-his-deployment-so-let's-celebrate-and-go-out-to-eat-every-three-seconds type of situation. We haven't been eating super badly (with the exception of a few several meals), but it definitely hasn't been kale salad and protein shakes over here. We went to Topeka with my sister-in-law and niece yesterday, so we ate at a ...
Roasted Garlic and Avocado Toast
Stop what you are doing right now. STAAHHHPPPP. Go to the grocery store, pick up fifty heads of garlic, roast every single one of them, and bask in the perfection that ensues. Do it. Because just one head of roasted garlic will never be enough. I could quite literally eat an entire head of roasted garlic plain, just completely plain and on its own, and be super content with life. Super stressful ...
Grilled Chicken Caesar Wraps with Mayo-Free Dressing
Ima not even tell you about my secret ingredient that makes this dressing super healthy yet. It will keep you on the edge of your seat/couch/bed/desk chair until I finally decide to drop the bomb of deliciousness that takes a usually mayonnaise and fat packed dressing and makes it good for your tum-tum. That's right...the suspense is growing. Meanwhile, since I'm withholding my dressing ...
Pesto Chicken Meatballs Over Lemon Arugula
Between this recipe and the Chicken Meatballs with Thai Coconut Curry Sauce I posted recently, I think that chicken meatballs are my new besties. #bestiesforlife. Why? Because they are healthy, easy, and super yummy. Chicken is a much lighter meat than beef, and it also has a more subtle taste. Still supa delicious, but it yields to other flavors better, liiiikkkkkeeeeee curry sauce or PESTO, for ...
