If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you may have seen updates of our nursery as we put it together. If you’re doing the math, yes, that’s right – we’re done with the nursery a solid 2 months before the little man is due to arrive. Stay with me – there’s a method to …
When your CSA gives you copious amounts of peaches, what do you do? You make pie. Peach Raspberry pie, to be specific. A lot of people think peaches and immediately think Georgia, but I’m here to tell you that Texan peaches can easily give the Georgians a run for their money. Saying I miss them …
Not gonna lie. These Whole Wheat Banana Muffins are a bit of a departure from my normal baking routine. I’m not normally one to skip the butter, or use sweetener instead of sugar (except in my coffee and tea, where Splenda reigns supreme). But, when your husband comes home with instructions from his doctor to …
If you know me in person, it’s no secret that I have a serious snack addiction. I have a sweet tooth too, I think that much is obvious if you read my blog, but nine times out of ten, if you offer me salty potato chips or a bowl of ice cream, I’m going to …
When you become pregnant, you learn all sorts of vernacular you might never have been privy to otherwise. For example, did you know that when parents choose not to find out the baby’s gender via sonogram, they’ve officially joined Team Green? Yeah, me neither. But, you learn something new every day.

You may have noticed things going intermittently quiet around here for a while now. I promise you it was not because I lost a passion for food, or a passion for blogging, but rather because I had something incredibly important happening here at home. You see, The Brit and I have wanted something for a …
Do you ever look through old recipe books and find a recipe that truly surprises you? That’s this recipe. Lemon Drop Cookies aren’t a reference to the cocktail, not at all. They’re named after that old-as-the-hills hard candy from Brachs that we all know and love. When I was a kid, cough and throat drops …
When your baby cousin by ten years gets married, it’s one of those things you want to pull out all the stops for. Especially since James and I kind of feel like we were the first to give the “family approval” of the groom. Zach and Alycia are the CUTEST couple, and we were so …
When I was little, Easter was always one of my favorite holidays. All the honey baked ham you could ever want, and a weekend full of family. Not to mention, hunting high and low for the eggs hidden in every nook and cranny of Nanny and Gaga’s backyard. It’s the stuff truly happy childhoods are …
